Best of luck for your continued recovery. Keep at it.

I can’t tell you to do this because I don’t know your medical history, but slowly working your way up to medium weight training can also be a game changer. Re: squats, Romanian deadlifts, pull ups, dead hangs.

Deadlifts are what caused my bad back, and also, surprisingly, what fixes it. The difference is that a 120kg deadlift caused it, and a 50kg deadlift fixes it.

Exercise is great, but don't lift too much weight. Prefer more reps instead.
