Suggest Specific Exercises For Healing Microfracture Of L1
I have a microfracture of the L1. I have a back brace on for three months, will start PT in 6 wks. Doctor says I can continue "working out very conservatively" doing arm and shoulder workouts and some leg exercises. Can you be more specific as to what I can do to stay in shape? Thank you

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would suggest you resume exercises only after physiotherapy. Till then you can go for walks. Keep a check on what you eat. Have a balanced diet. Avoid food from outside.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Deepti Shivakumar
