Pool Activity Post Op back surgery? Posted: 12-01-07 04:04am
Hello,
Is it safe to get in the pool and at least
walk in water waist high with my shirt on
15 days post op from lower back surgery?
My body is actually healing fairly fast
and I am feeling good. I did not receive
any instructions that I couldn't but I've
heard the chlorine may not be good for
your incision site or something to that
affect.
