Default Balancing Exercise and Increased Pain

Hi-

I am a newbie on this forum and am exploring my surgical options for my cervical pain problem.

I have not been getting any real exercise other than gently riding a stationary bike and around the block slow walks since exercise makes my neck related pain go up.

My problems are C7-C3 root nerve compression and some slight cord compression. I am currently waiting to see if I am a ADR candidate with Dr B in Germany.

I want to keep my lower back in shape so I do not lose all my core strength.

Does anyone have low impact exercise that does not make their neck pain go up?

Chris
