Sorry to hear it. The reality is that the spinal surgery is unsuccessful for about of one third of persons. A few decades ago the surgery was as a panacea in treating herniation related problems. At present this surgical treatment is applied more and more rarely. Because I am not a neurologist I can give you only some advices. At first it is important to do a bio-mechanical examination of your muscle system. This will help to choose which exercises could be beneficial in your case. For example if a muscle is shortened by a spasm, its stretching would give a good result. On the other hand, it is important to strengthen the weak muscles. As a short relieve therapy might be spinal traction with appropriate device (do a search in the internet and you will found some information on it). Walking is preferred and sitting position should be avoided for a long period.
