Hello, I am 3 weeks and 3 days after surgery Mis Tlif L4-L5, I do not feel any pain or anything and I do not take painkillers. On Monday I start the 5 day rehabilitation and I have 10 days a day for 4 treatments: laser therapy, magnetic field, cryotherapy and exercises with physiotherapist and massage. In the information card from the hospital about the diagnosis of my spine disease, I write:
M43.1: Other distortive back diseases - Cryolad
M51.0: Other intervertebral disc diseases - Diseases of the intervertebral discs of the lumbar and other spinal cord injuries (G99.2 *).
I have a question, can you train martial arts boxing or kickboxing after surgery? I would like to add that before the surgery I trained normally with 2-3 months before and only pain when I felt it while bending down or this type of thing and when digging high only the pain in the groin, and so it almost completely hurt. Can you normally train martial arts after surgery? My orthopedist said that in a year in March I can come back to training, but I would like to ask other specialists in this field, the surgery was with implants and screws, the orthopedist said that in 3 years it will get these screws can be pulled out, but their I will not pull it out. Also again, can you train martial arts after such an operation? greetings

That would be a discussion to have with your doctor.

I would highly discourage you from taking advice from strangers on the internet for this matter. We are not doctors and have no knowledge of your condition and have no business whatsoever in giving you advice that may be affected by your condition or that may be damaging to your condition.

Youve had back surgery and you want to train martial arts. Talk with your doctors and follow their advice.

^^ This.

You can find people who've had that (or similar) surgery and done amazing things. You can find people who've had that (or similar surgery) and had to give up things they used to do. Every situation is different, so all any of us here could do is give possibilities and potentials for a generic, hypothetical person. It's entirely possible you could return to training, but we can't know. The person most likely to be able to answer that question is either your surgeon or your back specialist.

The doctor who performed the surgery told me that in a year I can return to training, but I would also like to ask people who are after this surgery or specialists who are also familiar with the spine, thank you very much for the answer, count the person after this operation too gives in this topic. greetings

You should be playing Buck Buck as part of your therapy.

Followed by a nice Brahma bull ride.

IN OTHER WORDS - don't be asking medical advice from fools on the internet. Especially about things like rehabilitating after back surgery. (sorry if I sound abrasive)

I want to reiterate what every other post has said. Don't listen to a bunch of theorist on the interweb. Instead, I want to encourage you to listen to your doctor and your body. Find out what, if any exercises are recommended so that when you get the OK to workout you are better prepared. Like in many professions, doctors have to overstate timeframes to include "worst case scenarios", so hopefully it will take less than a year for you. Regardless, listen to the medical professionals.

I am going to disagree with these posters on the internet, by agreeing with these posters on the internet. You see, these posters on the internet told you not to listen to posters on the internet, which is by itself a paradox.

To counter the paradox, I will introduce a caveat: only listen to posters on the internet when they say not to listen to posters on the internet. All other posters on the internet should not be listened to.

Whether or not he listens to my post, he is correct.
  • If he listens to my post, then my post is covered by the exception in my post, and he should follow my instruction to only listen to instructions that say "do not listen to instructions."
  • If he does not listen to my post, then he is already ignoring advice from strangers on the internet, and our work here is done.

Well, following Skribs' logic, since skribs told him to listen to (some) posters on the internet, he shouldn't listen.
But, Skribs would have known that, so he would obviously have meant don't listen, so clearly he should listen.
But that's obvious, and Skribs is too smart to be that obvious, so clearly he shouldn't listen.

And don't go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

What have I done?

(Great, now I'm quoting either Les Miserable or The Nightmare Before Christmas.)

Everyone has to love The Prince Bride. My children loved it and now my grandchildren. Although the machine scared my youngest grandchild so do not show it to them until they are old enough. What's cool about The Prince Bride the older your kids get they find new things to laugh about. It will never become dated like some of the old favorites. I loved Star Trek, my kids liked Star Trek, but my grandchildren can't get over the bad special effects and are not interested.

The Hobbit and I re-watch The Princess Bride a couple of times a year, and quote it to each other regularly. There are obvious gags for the kids, and more subtle bits for the adults. It never gets old, man.

Sounds like you've already got your answer-there's a good chance the surgeon that performed the surgery is a specialist. Either way if he says wait you should wait. If you feel like a year is too much, in six months go back and tell him how you've been/not been progressing, and he can let you know if you can go back to training earlier.

The last thing you want to do is go back to train early, and F-up your back. If you do that, forget one year, you might be forced to stay away for five or ten years (or more).

What's more impressive is watching someone quote lines from a movie they haven't seen before.

I watched my Mom did this with the movie The Nude Bomb (which was the 1980 reboot of Get Smart).

As everyone else has said, you need to listen to your doctor. I haven't had spine surgery, but I've had hip surgery, and continued training once my physical therapist said it was okay for me to do so (about 5-6 months after the surgery). I lost a lot of strength and flexibility in that time, but after about 1 year, I had gained most of it back. I still get a little tight and sore in my hip sometimes even years later (especially after a long drive in the car), but I can still train. But, other people have different experiences after surgery.
