The DU Lounge

I'm actually excited for your rehab.

Have no fear about the back pain. The therapists, if they're good, will take it into consideration, and the movement from the cardiac activities will probably actually help with the back pain.

The trick with back pain is where it radiates. If you have soreness or even a slight increase in the back pain, notice where it radiates. If the area of radiation is getting smaller, that means the condition is improving and you'll soon have relief. Keep your therapist in the loop on that. If the pain begins to radiate farther out from your back (like farther down the leg for example) tell them, and ease up.
