I am having a laminectomy and fusion with pedigle screws in a week for severe disc compression and radiating pain down both legs. I have been told that diving and doing flip turns in the future may not be possible and I would like to hear of other's experiences.:confused

    Our coaches son had major back surgery when he was a young boy and his back was fused spent months in a striker bed. He had a very long recovery and became a great swimmer and represented Canada in the Olympics as a waterpolo player.
