I agree with the others. Be VERY careful with this! If your cord is impinged, everything you do could make this worse! I would think that your neurosurgeon would give you a slip saying that your work should be limited and give you the limitations. I wouldn't think you should be doing ANY lifting/pushing/pulling of anything that weighs anything. Plus any reaching or twisting either. These things can cause things to worsen in a heartbeat.

Talk to your doc and see about getting validation for this. You need a very sedentary job! Best of luck and keep us posted. Hugs, Lee
