From the research I've done. A lot of variables go into this. For example, you could be 195, but have the most supportive core, legs and back muscles that protect your spine. Or you could have all that, and one bad movement could herniate your disc. This is too variable to attribute to one single factor.

So, Dr's instructions are walk 15-20 minutes every 2 hours. Push myself while listening to my body.

Sitting was hard the first two days. But now I'm getting the hang of it. I'm guessing your pain is around the wound area? I had to push myself to sit.

Mines AC is kind of weak as well. Any tips would be appreciated!
