A member asked:
How can i stay in shape and healthy when my back and leg hurt at rest, much less walking or running?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swimming: You do not provide info re diagnosis, but generically, exercising in water removes the stress of gravity, and is usually tolerated far better in pts with similar problems to yours. Not only swimming but water aerobics might help, and a variety of rehab therapists supervise such sessions. Might consider yoga as another direction.
