I had a lot of back pain in the past. 22 years ago I joined a health club an started exercising my back and abbs. If I do not do this for a few weeks, my back will start to hurt again.
That being said, I do not have any damaged parts and keeping the support muscles strong works for me.
I would not recommend a lot of exercise until the ruptured disks are repaired. At that time seek the advise of physical therapist to give you recommended exercises. Start slow and do not try to do too much at first. I increased the load slowly over several months and then years to get to where I am today. As I have gotten older, I have reduced the load and increased the reps and that seems to help me.
Good luck going forward.
