After my L4-L5 surgery a few weeks ago, I've been having pain in both shoulders, especially the right one. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Shoulder pain post-spine surgery may be due to altered posture or nerve irritation; a physiatric or ortho review is advised.

I've been struggling with really tight hamstrings and can barely move my back properly are there any good physiologists who can help?

Exercise and stretching can improve muscle strength and flexibility, but they won't change the bone shape. Surgical correction, like an osteotomy, is usually necessary to reshape the bones
