... and still playing golf?

What was your recovery time and what physical training do you do to keep fit to play golf?

Thanks
 
I had a discectomy in 2006 , great success, back playing inside 3 months.
Had a further problem in about 2014 which was sorted by 2 weeks bed rest,

I do a few stretches every morning and a few rotational twists, but I find the best exercise is just to walk

That's brilliant and good to hear and nothing crazy to keep fit.

I'm having an op in a couple of weeks, suffered with nerve pain on and off for the past 5 years so can't wait to hopefully get fixed
 
Friend at work had one, she was off for about 3 months she's a spinning instructor on the side and got back to it. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Cheers I'm hoping 8-12 weeks recovery... Good to hear that she's back at it.

I know I need to work on my fitness and strengthen my lower back ?
