I had a herniated disc L4 and L5 removed when I was 38 which stabilising by wire wrapped from L4 to L6. It took 6 months recovery. I do pilates 2 to 3 days a week with a few exercises in between. I have an issue with my left hip whih I am having physio for. He said my sciatica pain is coming from my SI joint. I am so glad I had the operation as my surgeon said that was my only option as the pain was getting so bad I couldn't walk in the mornings. I'm 59 now. I cycle and walk to keep fit. I am conscious when it comes to lifting and was told not to lift above 10kg. You definitely have to keep moving even with a herniated disc as it takes recovery longer.
Cycling is something we recommend AGAINST - instead use your rehab as your focus and if you do it right they can be equivalent for cardio in short amount of time, and if you absolutely need to do the cardio cross trainer is going to be best first choice.
Ok thanks , good to know I’ll have break from biking . . Feel like when I’m cycling there’s no pain but still dull pain afterwards . Is walking 1-2 km ok ?
Also my job is a truck driver doing 12 hr shifts . Which I’m sitting at least 10 hrs a day driving . Am I wise to look for another job that doesn’t involve so much sitting.?
100% looking for something else but with that kind of shift you've got limited time for extra "Stuff" prioritise rehab work rather than extra cardio :) there will be time for that when you get a baseline of recovery :)
@@mckyv731 Really you need to be doing the right kind of rehab, if you do, it can start getting better pretty quick. If you don't it wont. that's why we did this video to help ensure the former :)

Is walking a couple 1-2 km at an easy pace ok ?
If it causes no pain sure just make sure you focus on your rehab work :)
