Hi,
Thanks for query. I understand your concern.
I feel you should keep on doing rehabilitation exercises regularly except during pain episodes...Acute exacerbation of pain followed physical stress,bending & lifting heavy things.
While acute exacerbation rest/ fomentation, & painkillers are helpful.
Spinal spondylosis makes the spine a bit delicate.. while palying hocky demands lot of running , bending.. so your patticipation can be decided by sports medical practitioner before the session.
What you can do is to try & strengthen the concerned muscles to support weakened spine. Be positive.
Thanks.
