Welcome @Ann_sly to the online community,

You are due to have a back op soon, you do not say if it is arthritis related but if I may make that assumption I attach links which I hope you will find helpful

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/conditions/osteoarthritis-oa-of-the-spine/

https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/exercising-with-arthritis/exercises-for-healthy-joints/exercises-for-the-back/

I hope that you will share more details of your current situation so that other members who have similar conditions can advise and support you during the lead up to and post operation. We offer a safe place to share and sometimes if it is one of those days, a place to vent one's angst and frustrations about life generally.

We look forward to hearing from you soon,

Take Care

Poppyjane
