Patient restrictions

[soccrwz]

I get this question commonly, do I have any restrictions? What do you typical tell your patients with regards to this question?

After routine spinal injections? No, no restrictions.

prior to injections, after reading MRI, ever do restrictions?

If they need restrictions, they shouldn’t be getting injections - they should be seeing the surgeon next.

Sounds like activity as tolerated for most

Avoid trampolines while kyphoplasty is pending.

if they ask me about lifting restrictions - i tell them 15-20 pounds if they have a bad disc with stenosis. If they don't want to hear it, don't ask.
