Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone out there has a severe back injury like myself? Long story short, I got a lower back injury at work, had 2 spinal fusions and was getting better after the 2nd one but then I was in 2 car accidents that gave me herniated and ruptured discs in my upper back. And they also found out during an MRI after the car accidents that I also have spinal stenosis. So here's my situation... I have titanium rods, pins, plate, screws put in my lower back during the 1st and 2nd spinal fusions that could possibly break. I used to exercise a lot before my back injuries and I had one of those cardio glides and ski machines. Well after the 2nd spinal fusion and I was feeling better I went back to doing my cardio glide exercises. But when I told my spinal fusion surgeon what I was doing he told me not to do them anymore because the titanium rods in my back could possibly snap in 1/2. So, is there anyone out there with this same dilemma? Thanks, Chris
