exercise bike choice for back problems

I broke several vertebrae several years ago and I now have a kyphosis and spondolothesis ( please excuse the spelling!).
I like to ride an exercise bike.
I have an AIrDyne.
I am finding this hurts my back a great deal.
My wife says I should get a recumbent exercise bike.
Would one bike be better than the other?
Is either bike appropriate for me?

    You may have to tell your wife she’s right:) A recumbant bike might be more comfortable for you as it supports your back when you ride.
