A member asked:
Mri said i have hypertrophied facet joint causing moderate central spinal stenosis for which microd/hemilaminotomy done can i ever play soccer again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spine surgery: I believe exercise is good for the spine. I would allow you to play soccer only after physical therapy and proper back education. The microdiskectomy will decrease the pain you had before, but nw is the time to be smart, rehab the back and slowly return o activity.
