Hi all. Could anyone shed some light on the recovery process of an L4/L5 laminectomy? I am very new to the sport and am wondering how long it will be before I can resume training after surgery?? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

How long ago was the lami done? Are you still wearing the back brace? Are you getting P.T.? It also depends on the shape you were in prior to it. Most important thing (next to the actual healing process from surgery which needs to be cleared by the MD) is lumbar/core stability. That needs to be under control before you can ponder more advanced activities, especially if they are new to you.

Not much help, I know, but hopefully a start.
