A member asked:
I will soon be fuse l3-s1. i love rollerblading, but should i give this up or could it be safe for me again some day?

Rollerblading: Once healed, through physical therapy post-op and cleared by your surgeon, there should be no reason you cannot return to rollerblading. Just don't fall! In fact, it should be excellent exercise for your repaired lumbar spine. Good luck.
