What exercises can I do after a spinal microdisectomy? I had a microdisectomy on discs L5-S1, L4-L5, 5 years back. Im 25 now and just joined the gym. Am I allowed to do side bending with weights? What all exercises can I do? I make sure I do not lift weights that are more than 5 kg and do not bend forward or do any crunches or floor exercises.
