A member asked:
Is there anything i can try to keep my back from grinding until my spinal fusion? also what about cramps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
WearBack Support: I am sure your back surgeon and physical therapist have given you guidance. Please follow those. Do not ride in the car for long distance, avoid high impact exercise like running/biking. Try stationary bike/elliptical instead. Sitting for long times also hurts. Gentle stretching helps.
