@A MyChronicPainTeam Member hello I recommend that you take 1 or 2 Vitamin D3 1000iu daily and have your doctor arrange for X-rays on your lumbar spine about a month before you are due to leave and if your spine has not healed sufficiently please ask your doctor if you should be postponing your plans

Sending you my best wishes for a speedy recovery and recuperation that will give back mobility and strength. How are you feeling now? I hope to hear you feel better in the days to come. This is a promise that you should keep closer to your heart.

What does flying have to do with your back?

Meant a minor procedure on my well used 50plus spine now, takes a year to get over. Be kind to your fusion. It’s a big new vertebrae with a lot of leverage
