Walk. Moderately. Slow gait. Lose some weight, if that's an issue. Should help for facets as well as inflammation. Eat lots of organic vegetables. Walk some more. Get some sunshine. Vit D will be central to avoid subsidence of implant into vertebrae. Get control of your core. Fire your pelvic muscles, but be moderate in everything. This is not a race. It is a walk. Backs like a good bourdeaux by the way IMO. Do that moderately too.

What doctor did you choose to entrust yourself with?
