A member asked:

Is breathlessness and exhaustion in a back brace normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

New brace?: An adjustment period after back surgery with your brace is expected. During which, be sure to communicate your concerns with your doctor and therapist. You will tire easily if you are unable to exercise your lungs appropriately.
