My dad was diagnosed a lumbar spine cyst and told to do a surgery. It freaks him a lot, and he doesn’;t want to do it, but the pain is killing him and there is no another way. He is working out, even he is 62 at the moment.
The main question is about the post surgery rehab. Is it difficult, will he be able to lift again and how long does it take to get back to the business? Maybe anyone had an experience with such cyst and may sugest any stretches or treatments to make his pain less before surgery? Of course, doctos will say all kind of stuff to him, what to do and etc., but we are looking from a perspective of training people, who lift weights.
Thank you in advance!
