I had surgery to trim my l5/s1 disk 5 months ago. My arms/biceps have shrunk to nothing. I am going to start an exercise program. I was wondering if punching a heavy bag would put me in risk of re-herniation?
 
You should only be doing weight lifting which is appropriate. Talk to your surgeon and ask him to prescribe some physical therapy and they can help you gradually build back up.
