Had a diskectomy done beginning of may, now released full duty to work, still have some throbbing pain from time, what exercises should i b doing?

Start slowly: Begin slowly and build you core. Abdominal and back strengthening exercises, bent knee crunches etc. Key is to go slowly and avoid straining the back. Ask a physical therapist if you need assistance with specific exercises.
