I cracked a number of vertebrae in my lower back from a training accident Fast Roping from a helo. I could walk, but was in severe pain. They wanted to do surgery, but I refused. What brought me the most relief, was doing Yoga, Pilates, and a lot of planks. Wish I had more advice for you, sorry. If you need any exercise tips, let me know. Best of luck to you buddy!

The board is only temp. You&#39;ll have to go again and again. The VA barely listens to the boards recommendations.
