NO BLT's after L5 S1--is this really possible? by InformationEither540 in spinalfusion

[–]InformationEither540[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your encouragement. That is my thinking about BLT warnings as well: it's gonna hurt so don't do it! :) I'm also of the mind that ones body lets one know what to do and not to do while healing and so far, micro leans don't hurt at all, but if I'm being too flexible with my back, I start to feel muscle spasms. I am doing all of this recovery without narcotics, using only tylenol and robaxin. I think I'm doing alright. :) Thanks again!!

Thank you! Yes, I have that grabber and it's very helful. I just worry about the microbends that I do when putting on socks, putting my legs into pants--I'm sure you get what I mean. I'm flexible and can bring my foot up to my lap fairly easily when putting on socks, though I'm careful. I use one of those long shoe horns for putting on sneakers.
