I used to suffer with back pain but i found exercise really helped. Dorsal raises are good, walking in general helps and a few sit ups etc really worked wonders. I hope this helps.
First of all, congratulations on the weight loss. Not an easy accomplishment! Secondly, I wouldn't ask advise on yahoo for ideas to exercise with when dealing with back pain. Best idea would be to talk to your Doctor about a referral to a physiotherapist and have him / her go over a suitable exercise regime with you. Better to be safe than to listen to well meaning people who could end up causing you and your back more grief
Life; and the rocks it throws at you
Swimming is great!.....Cycling, Beginning Pilates, Callanetics
Running is the best exercise.

Please don't look at back surgery so negatively. The surgery itself is quite safe. In September I had a fusion of my cervical spine, I had the 5th and 6th disc fused. I was out of the hospital in two days and was back to work in 2 weeks. I did wear a soft neck brace for one month and still in the process of recovering. The general rule is that when you have medical problems then the longer you wait. The longer it will take you to recover. Now, with your weight lost it is a perfect time to do the surgery. If you do decide to do the surgery, I will walk you through the whole process. Since you have many problems with your back. You should get your exercises for your back from the doctor or a physical therapist.Why do want to spend the rest of your life in pain. Make sure you are seeing an Orthopedic Spine Doctor and not just Family Doctor.
