Ive had pain for 3 years, For the last 2 months I’ve been doing McKenzie exercises and have seen major improvements, Don’t lose hope. I almost did. I’ll continue to get better 👍🏼
Hermano Nero thanks for sharing your problem my husband is ongoing treatment and in a lot of pain it's been 16 weeks now
What a nightmare will check out McKenzie treatment UK 🤞hope you get better soon 💕
Shezza 69years young
Yes McKenzie method works for me too. However if I stop my daily routine for too long (or sit too much) the symptoms come back. PT for life. I also have a way to do daily decompression in my home which is a game changer. I try to walk 100 miles per month. I don’t want surgery, then another, then another. That is a huge motivator for me.
I hope PT can help - it usually does if a person is consistent, a healthy weight, and watches their sitting time.
I cheer you on!
ForgiveAndLove09 thank you for caring 💕it has been a nightmare but your right about not sitting too long my hubby and I are careful not to get into that routine he has had an injection in the spine last month and it has been a godsend he just needs to build up his muscle in left leg now and hopefully it is on the mend 🤞we feel so lucky when I read about other cases bless you all I hope and pray you will all find relief from this terrible condition Lv Sher 💞xx
Try a teeter
were you at the point of having numbness and weakness when you started that?
Mine took two and a half years to heal😨....Im just thankful and thank Jesus everyday that it healed❤ (update) 2023....Everything is still fine...There were many times I.thought this is it for life....dont.give up hope and talk to Jesus (nutrition, NO REFINED CARBS, excercise, hydration and rest...then hope for the best..yes that rhymes😅😆👍
That’s nice to read. Gives me hope!
Hey man would you please let me know what you did and didn't do. I do physical therapy from home everyday feels better
thx... here's hope!
Man, I got another 2 years to go.
How do you know it heal?
You can. I wont give you the sob story, just know that you can heal! You will get better. Just don’t give up!
This gives me hopes.... Thank you
But how? 😔
Share your story
Thank you. I’m miserable
@@Kappp23 im miserable too. did you improve.
I am currently 38 years old. At age 20 I herniated L4-L5. The nerve pain was severe enough, and it had persisted long enough (6months) that my Dr referred me to a neurosurgeon and we discussed surgery. The surgeon recommended waiting it out a little longer, and within about 6 months I had made a complete recovery. I still am prone to back injury; I’m fairly active. But the most important things I have found to manage pain and prevent injury the last 18 years has been maintaining a healthy body weight, and keeping my trunk strong with planks and body weight squats, push-ups, etc. I found these videos recently because I’m in a bout of back pain brought on by long hours of sitting for work and not exercising, but once again I’m optimistic that I can get back to normal.
Determined to overcome...16 months and growing stronger. A fabulous
2-person support team and personal determination. It can be done 🌻
Absolutely can heal from protrusion and rupture! Keep moving.
Hard Truths you think so?
Hard Truths a rupture can heal?
can you heal if you're at the point of numbness and weakness?
But how? Thats the million dollar question. How did you do it
@@ambermarie1382 How do you feel now?
I did your posture exercise and it completely resolved my sciatica issues !! I still do them daily - amazed !Thanks .
Your videos are really helpful in raising the moral. I follow my therapist to the word, but I do follow your work. Thank you
I was diagnosed with 2 herniated discs in my lower lumbar...exactly L4-5..I was also diagnosed with an inflamed sciatic nerve. That was 10 years ago and I'm ok but I absolutely watch how I treat my back because when I do too much that's when my back kills me. Yesterday was one of those days when I thought for sure the disc would touch a nerve because that's crazy pain!! There is hope if you've been recently diagnosed...if you don't have back issues....be grateful!!!
Absolutely! Keep moving, strengthen your core, drink lots of water, sunlight, right diet, DO NOT BEND! Be careful with proper movement!
I lived with chronic pain for over a decade. I took up cycling 6 months ago and did a recent stint of 7 weeks in physical therapy and i'm 95% pain free now. I had spent the last 13 years living a sedentary life and my back was in worse shape because of the sitting then it ever was from the lifting I'd done in the paramedic career that caused the herniations. Follow your doctor's advice, but, if you CAN be more active, I highly recommend finding something you enjoy doing, be it cycling, swimming, whatever, and doing it RELIGIOUSLY. Also, continue the stretches your PT gives you -- don't blow them off! Those seemingly simple stretches have given me my life back.
Love u guys! 💕🌷Thank you for your kind words and encouragement
Thank you Bob and Brad....you guys are great!
I needed this information. I suffer from sciatica. Try driving 40 minutes to work with that pain down your leg and lower back.

How did you manage ? 8hrs standing or sitting at work is unbearable
Thank you Bob & Brad for these great video's! Everything is very well explained and interesting to watch. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Chaps I’m in the UK and herniated my 4/5 disc at the start of Nov. Walking has become easier in the last week or so. I’m now seeing a physio (not as famous as you two 😂) which is also helping. Thought I’d be over it in a week or two, how wrong I was 😳. Keep positive 💪🏼👌🙌
Just diagnosed a few days ago, but had lower back pain for many years. The difference now is the hip and leg pain. So how do you know when you have nerve damage? I had nerve issues years ago on another area and Doctors said it was for live. Well, a few months later without medications it started to get better and is 100% gone for the last 6-7 years.
Been dealing with 2 herniated discs now for 4 months it’s 24/7 pain it’s physically and mentally draining. Currently doing spinal decompression therapy hopefully it helps
Has that work for you
Did it work or are you healed
How are you now,??? Hope you're doing well ❤️🩹
thanks for the inspiration! turning to your videos & exercises in the hope of avoiding surgery. I’m wondering if you could (someday) talk a bit more on the loss of muscle control (ie not able to calf raise w/left leg) resulting from a herniated disc and ways to improve such issues through less invasive regimes before having to resort to neurosurgery
At the age of 25 I messed up a disc in my lower back pretty gnarly like. It took about 2 years of intense physical therapy regiments to completely heal. And the nerve sheathing is for sure messed up to this day.
I would say the best way to heal is to go on a very long walk (10-15 kilometers) everyday for about 30 days. Until I started doing this I didn’t see a permanent change in my sciatica symptoms.
This is your best bet. Happy Walking.
Hello, I have a question, You didn't feel pain when you were on walking or the next day? I have a L5-S1 herniated disc since like 5 months and I don't feel so much pain to sleep or when I'm sit. But when I'm stand just a few minutes, I get worse like 7 days to not feel my leg heavy and tingling...And talking about walking, I can't even walk more than 5 minutes to get worse...Is really frustrating.
@@felipenavarrete7337 I also cannot walk for very long I get heavy, tingling leg and it feels so bad.
@@niladridevidasih82 Yes my friend...Now I'm proving with Ozonotherapy, and infiltration directly and near in the zone (paravertebral muscles), just the 1st session today. If it's works for me, I can tell you the results cause are at least 8 infiltrations
@@felipenavarrete7337 I've been having Traumeel injections, which is a lot cheaper than the office therapy in my area and they helped a lot, as long as I don't overdo it!
@@niladridevidasih82 Great! I haven't noticed any improved in all this time, I have to do surgery I think :( Tell me, did you do that injections directly in the intervertebral disc?
I bought an inversion table for spinal decompression. It’s a life changer.
Thank you guys for giving me hope
This was helpful and informative. A question I have: I've had bouts of sciatica on and off for seven years. Currently continuing pain for nine months (had a microdiscotomy 4 1/2 weeks ago, and re-herniated. Same disk, but different location). I've seen various doctors/surgeons, and I always say that it hurts less, or not at all (this is pain in my right thigh) when I ride my bicycle. And not one doctor has commented on that. I'm wondering if you have any insights here (of course, I've been off my bike for five months. Which is difficult, since I normally ride 12 - 15 hours weekly). Thanks for listening!
If you put on back braces like the horizon lso 627 wear it religiously i mean hours and hours if yiur stubborn and if it's not getting better don't be afraid of surgery. If I were in yiur shoes I would get immediate surgery. If doctors are discouraging ignore them disregard etc believe on yourself that yes I can heal with the right proper treatment which j believe is minimally invasive spine surgery very soon. Also tge more time passing the more iT may get worse. Also if I were you imo I would not workout or do any physical stuff barely at all. Not because yiur lazy but because yiu have a serious injury that is very powerful and not good ok be careful snd how bless you friend I hope and I know you'll recover ok be careful ❤.
Piriformis syndrome sciatic pain. Look up how to Release the piriformis muscle in your butt. Bob and Brad have videos on that too.
I know herniated discs. As a past bodybuilder and powerlifter I have had more than one herniated disc, the first one being a little over 40 years ago. I was lucky enough to find a good chiropractor. Besides his adjustments he gave me the McKenzie exercises and have never had surgery. I still get adjusted to prevent any 'flare-ups' and do those exercises every day.
How long should a disc herniation be cured? I have been walking a lot for a year and I do exercises to strengthen the muscles but I still have a problem standing for a long time and sitting and I have dizziness.Thanks a lot 🥺
McKenzie, also look up Stuart McGill and flexion intolerance. You CAN heal!
A tip, when mentioning other videos you have done like here where you bring up the one you did on “finding a McKenzie therapist” you should put it on the video at the end so users can click and watch.
This is not only incredibly helpful for your viewers but also keeps people on your content longer which is something that UA-cam lives and rewards with more organic reach.
Lastly, you should also put that link in the show notes or written resources of the video for users for all of the same reasons.
I do this foe a living and hope this all helps and keep putting out helpful content! I’m dealing with a miserable herniated discs and sciatic problem for 2 months and your content has been extremely helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for all your videos.
Just found your videos today, they have helped already. Last Sunday ended up with severe pain from herniated disk and sciatica, I had warm
Ning signs and ignored them till they took me down. Today I did some of the excercises, the one where you lay flat on stomach and lift, it helped so much, will continue to do it. Question, at first when if happened I could not barely walk, when is the right time to start doing the excercise? Do I wait a few days or try to do them right away?
Do as much as you possibly can even on the first day but obviously do not I repeat do not try to extend your motion when you feel pain. very very limited when you first start.
Once the pain centralises, what do you do next? Ps thanks for the video bobandbrad
Never been in so much pain. Saddle pain and shooting down thigh to knee. Tingling in shins. Finally got relief from an epidural and will continue for two more months. Great explanation. Thank you, I got more information from you than I did visiting the ER (nearly blacked out from pain), the ortho, and the pain doctor. I would gladly take a kicked in the nuts daily than go thru this amount of pain.
Going through this now. Thought passing a kidney stone was bad til this happened.
Still have tingling?
how are you doing now?
Bro we need updates.
I’m 27 and I have this problem rn. For the last three years actually. But the inversion table and a pillow under the lower back at night helps. I’m a roofer but just taking it slow for now
Speed up the healing with an inversion table. Mine was an astonishing help. I feel some stiffness every time which tells me it's beneficial. Edit: pain-free in two weeks
I am very happy for you
Been getting good results with my teeter has healed my sciatica 99% and I tried your ,,McKenzie exercise for a month too
Love the concept👍
Guys, please talk about spinal stenosis. More and more "youngish" people are suffering from it.
@@johnnyrodriguez276 are you okay now ?
Check your diet and lifestyle...
Im 25
Its diet related and lifestyle like playing comp games ...thats defo a part of it and prob taking vaccines as a baby and taking antibiotics for a sorethroat...its the new generation
Chicken gelatin...fish head stock ...rain water...kefir ect ect
Thank you for giving me hope! I'm in So much pain today and you still make me laugh 😂PAC man
How are you Ruth ? Better these days ?
This gives me hope in my journey of healing my spine ❤️
The 3 or so musical notes at the end crack me up
Thank you, good sharing!
Had a lamenectomy from herniated disc's 2 years ago. They said if I don't watch it I will be fusing in the near future. Skip to 3 days ago I woke up in agonizing pain and felt paralyzed. I couldn't even log roll to get out of bed, literally took me 45 mins of fighting my hardest to get to my feet. I've been doing brad and bobs exercises since that day and can walk again with some what tolerable pain. These exercises do help. I am a Glazier for a living( set large interior and exterior units of glass and architectural metals by hand most the time, units weighing up to 350 lbs on a daily basis) take care of your back and body. It can literally ruin your life. Follow these awesome exercises to the T. And good luck
You guys are awesome thank you
Yes ... bulge, as well as a herniated disc, can recover ... Thank you Bob&Brad
How?

Hey Bob what do you thing about steam cells therapy to heal survival pain? Bcz I want to go with that therapy.
Can you please tell me what exercises are good for both bulging disc and spondylolisthesis?
Really worth studying more, thanks!
Yes it can heal, I have proof from old mri I had done about 10 years ago from a previous back injury. that disc bulge is gone, with time and physical therapy., even though they told me I needed surgery. i had to recently get a mri done for a new back problem, that is hitting my sciatic nerve, and compared the 2 mri. Old bulge is gone, this new one is a totally different area. It just sucks dealing with the pain, so most people rush to get surgery, which should be a last resort. I’m dealing with terrible sciatica pain in my left leg now. I had it last year, got better in about 2 months, but now 6 months later I think I re injured it. I had pain that felt like someone was cutting my leg off. Just terrible. I was hoping to pass out before ever feeling that much pain, but it just didn’t happen. Getting better now every day. Seeing chiropractor, doing decompression, and acupuncture to relieve the tense muscles in my left leg and but.
Thank you so much for this video, I have exactly this problem x 2 with sciatica that will not go away. Looking up the McKinsey exercise video that yall have.
correction McKinzie
Damn it’s been nearly two years and I’m still waiting
I have bulging of intervertebral disc L3/L4 and L4/L5 neuroframines are free, also light protrusion of L5/S1 broad based neuroframines are free according to medical report of my MRI. I have back pain and light sciatica pain for a month, the first 2 weeks I've had urinary retention but I don't anymore how serious is my case?
I think mine healed just today actually. It was about 5 to 5 and a half years ago that I injured my back. So mine was really bad i mean this was by far one of the worst or things I've ever had to go through besides breaking my left arm or something else excruciatingly painful as well. But my arm healed in 4 weeks other things like burns healed faster than 5 and a half years of hell. I really am glad this guy healed and I am glad for others like ne too who have healed just wanted to tell someone that my back got better and I'm do glad that these comments are so great with positivity I honestly thought discs bevef healed but I just didn't know they did bit you really have to wait a long long time and protect your back as well. God bless you all, and esiecially tge people like je who have seemingly miraculously healed as well ok take care and God bless.
I had an L5S1 herniation, the pain is gone for a year now but I have limited feel in my left foot. It's numb along the outside and up above the heel. Can damaged nerves heal?
Someone please answer this question
it is also my concern
Thank you.
if the sciatic nerve gets stuck / irritated in the back it can radiate to the foot right ??
But can it be the other way round also ? something is wrong with the Achilles and that would cause your backbones to get irritated ?
Very nice thank you
Definitely in your own opinion!
When you get around to the topic, the show is okay.
I have been dealing with this for 3 weeks. I have finally found some relief by using the McKenzie exercises. But my thigh is very numb. It’s not weak, but VERY numb. Should I be alarmed by this? and the numbness is isolated to my thigh only.
I've been dealing with the same injury for 3 weeks now except I have mild foot numbness and weakness.
So after my 1st surgery, L4,L5 lower lumbar,7yrs later,,the excruciating pain,pinched nerves,numbness, tingling, no medications, nor visits,,knowing I need a doctors care,meds and nother surgery..how or what is a best then fusion?????????????
I operate equipment and have most of my life. I have a piece that is broken right above my disk. It has now got into my nerve causing pain. Will my spine or bone heal on its own? I'm 44 and sit for about 10 hrs a day. Thanks for any advice.
Im on this herniated disc now. Just got discharged from the hospital after epidural injection as the pain subsided. But there is still a bit of pain everytime i sit, stand and walk. I'm hoping for strength improvement on my leg as it still 50% less compared to other leg. I'm avoiding surgery, this kind of video and information gives me hope. Thanks
Whats ur condition now
Would you recommend a kneeling chair for the back?
Can you do these exercises even without it to help prevent them?
Braces support the low back, and immobilize and stabilize the lumbar spine such as after an injury or surgery
Thank you 😊
It excruciating but yes, it can heal with exercise and proper relaxation of the back area.
I'm 17 years old
It has been almost 3 years my back was hurting, but me as well as my parents ignored it because I used to play mobile games alot, and they thought that the pain was due to my improper posture and didn't took serious.
But 6 months ago when I was at school I lost my control with my leg I was not able to sit properly, then when I went at hospital I was diagnosed with L4-L5 and L5-S1 disc bulge with nerve compression.
It's been 2 months I have been following the medicine prescribed by the doctor and the pain has 30 % releif as compared to the pain I used to feel before..
I pray to God no one gets this kind of disease.
I hope I will get well soon as soon as possible..
Does this apply to cervical disc bulge also ?? 😥😯
I have footdrop because of the herniated disc. How long it ll take to recover ? And please suggest the rehabilitation exercises for the same
Not sure if these fine gentlemen answer questions but mine has been bad on and off for over 10 years now. Was told it will subside or burst within 2 years but hasn't. Should I just keep stretching and keeping active or seek a repeat MRI?
In joyed the video of the lumbar spine can you do one on the cervical spine as well !!!
Hihi, may i ask where to find the link for mckenzie exercise?
When I was a teenager and in my twenties I had horrific back pain. It was debilitating. I'm 40 now and it doesn't hurt anymore unless i do something extremely strenuous. I don't really know why.
I woke up today feeling really energetic, and after cleaning the kitchen I felt a sharp pain in my lower back that went to my knee, I will be honest. I don't want to be in pain for the rest of my life
My ruptured disc at S1 is out to the side.
It is not to the back.
What McKenzie exercise heals the sideways herniation?
Thank you!!!
when i have proper posture the pain is gone, but my muscles get tired from holding the proper position. should i do weight lifting to make it easy to hold?
my friend is 70ish was overweight for years (stomach stapling helped that) and has 2 bulging discs due to a fall. Its been 12 yrs. now some Dr wants to put a steel rod in. She doesnt want that. Any hope for her?
The good thing about those exercises is one can at least try them to see if they help. Observing the normal cautions should avoid any worsening and they give hope and may work (they have for me).
Do lower back problems often come from a sagging mattress? Back mainly hurts after sleeping.
And does lifting weights cause lower back pains? I never had back issues until I started lifting. Coincidence?
Yes on both. Invest in a good bed. I mean youre gonna use it every day
I m 43 yr / male
I have DDD of L4 n L5 since 3 to 4 months.
I get worse when I sit continuously for 3 to 4 hours , I feel like tingling and numbness in my left foot.
Can it be cured of naturally without surgery.
If yes how long should I wait . !
Psychologically I m feeling like I m going in depression.
Plz advice me .
Will be great full to u.....
Is it possible to do triathlon even with bulging / herniated discs? I am only 23 years old and did a cumulative 46.5k worth of running, biking and swimming. I just want to be athletically fit. Is this advisable?
After 14 years my L4-L5 disc is so deteriorated that it's bone on bone. I wish exercise could fix it but it can't. I exercised in a pool for years, to no avail. Time for surgery. :(
I hope you're surgery goes well. And please comment back. I'm curious about your results and type of surgical intervention that provides you with relief. Please get well soon.
@@KuchKahaniyan That is terrible advice. Some people end up requiring surgery. Many do not. Why would anyone opt for the surgery route without first trying non surgical solutions. It's stupid and lazy.
S.R. Olson
Get Collagen Hydrolysate
I heard that it allow disc to hydrate again .
@@TheSwayzeTrain at least it's not judgemental with no information other than your own bigoted opinion.
Get yourself a disc replacement, itll save you a lot of grief, don't bother with a bone fusion, that ain't worth it, research your surgeon, make sure he knows his shit, you'll be fine.
Any suggestions on the best way to eat ? I have a hard time sitting up for too long and therefore have to lay down which is bad for the digestive system
I have weakness in my feet and legs. Pain is very high. And unrelenting. I can tough out the pain but I'm definitely having nerves pinched. I'll get my mri in two months and I'll be able to start treatment finally! Will I be able to avoid surgery?
How u now?
It's been 3 months since I herniated my disc L4-L5 with severe sciatic nerve pain down my leg. I still have pain and the recovery is very slow. Don't know if I should expect 1 month or 1 year to fully recover. It is the worst thing that has ever happened to me.
I have this problem and 6-8 weeks seems like a long time. Will I be in constant pain for that long or will it slowly get better and completely go away in 6-8 weeks?
Update
?
Hi bob and brad I had a question. I’m a 15 year old male, and I’m fairly active in sports primarily Taekwondo and soccer. I’ve recently had a groin injury to my right groin. I had a lot of bruising on the inside of my right leg. The bruising eventually moved like down my leg towards like the top of my knee on the inside of my leg. It get really dark purple and a nasty color and there was actually a day I had to stay home from school because it hurt too much to walk. This happened in September and the pain is mostly gone and I have good range of motion on the leg not 100% yet, but I’m close. All the bruising is gone but now I’ve noticed like a crunching noise or feeling in my right knee. It doesn’t really “hurt” but it is uncomfortable. I’ve noticed it when I’m doing things like raising my knees like jogging. And I was wondering what this crunching noise is , if it’s serious, and if I should see a doctor.
Thank you so much for your help and i love your videos
You should go see a doctor.
You could have a torn miniscus. Go see an orthopedic doctor.
With my bulging disc I have leg pain in my feet go numb. Can you do a video on this maybe you have an exercise I can do.
I bailed hay on my uncle's farm when I was a kid. 12 years old I could chuck a 100 pound bail 8 feet in the air.
No wonder my L5/S1 disk blows out every once in awhile but it always heals. I bought a $100 inversion table from Walmart a few years back and it has paid for itself many times over.
Great videos as usual...😉 I had a herniated disc 6 years ago (2013), that healed over a couple of months. It re appeared now again in June 2019... I desperately tried to heal. With conservative treatment.. But it became too much... I had a discetomy 15 Nov... (L5/S1) Recovering well. So far...my question is on what exercises I can and cannot do post my surgery... When returning to gym? My MRI also indicated spondylosis.. Would really appreciate your feedback.. Thanks
@Ale how was it
Brad doesn’t have a disk at all at L4-L5? Has he done a video about this? How does it limit him? Are his vertebrae fused? I’d love to hear more about this.
6-8 weeks? More like 6-8 months months
So true! Everyone is unique. Be patient and stay positive. It is hard!
I'm on 8 weeks now can't take it much longer
I’m one year in..
@@tillyforth8648 yep. It’s been 16 months and I still have issues with pain. It’s def not as much as before, gets a little better each month, but 6-8 weeks is a joke
@@cryptobunny2506 im sick of researching it and finding the ‘usually resolves itself or with physio after 6-8 weeks” NO IT DOES NOT. Haha. I’m on gabapentin now which has helped me a little but if I don’t take it on time I’m in agony and I have a lot of spasms recently. I’ve lost all feeling in one foot now too. It’s ridiculous! I feel your pain. I wish mine would get a little better but it’s the same or worse every day. I look after 6 kids 11 hours a day too so I never get to rest.

Hello Gentlemen from UK...I am keen to ask about the prognosis of a herniated c6,c7 disc in the neck. Is it as hopeful as the lower back? It’s been over 8 months now.
Same, I wish they would do one like this focused on the neck

any update? same situation here!
@@strawberrrys took a while to go away but I'm doing great. No pains but I guard my activity. Do the stretching and exercises and walk. It's what helped me.

Update?
@@jessejames6123 my herniated disc and sciatica got better but not 100% healed. If you have the same issues, switch your chair to a cheap solid one you can buy from Ikea for like 10 USD - no cushion or anything that softens it. Sit with a wider stance than you normally would to give yourself more support and distribute your weight. Do planks, wall sits, push-ups and deadlift a light weight but make yourself do a hip-hinge with your back totally neutral. When you're standing, imagine you're trying to tear a piece of paper with your feet by spreading them away from each other - you should feel your glutes tensing. It's not quick process but it will work if you do it right. The type of seat and time spent sitting are really important factors though
@@GP-ii1eg thanks I'll try that. I am having the same thing. I heard everyone heals differently but this helps.
@@jessejames6123 hope it works out for you mate, I've had it a while and people were giving me all kinds of advice. Don't give up hope. One other thing, you might want to try is to avoid bread/pastries and milk. Just keep the diet pretty green, some apple cider vinegar and turmeric to help keep inflammation at bay and let your body heal. I've also started sleeping more on my side with a pillow between my knees. This is all anecdotal, but hope it helps
@@GP-ii1eg I heard diet does involve with certain pains in the body. I'll have to experiment and see what works for me. I hope u heal up 100 percent too, man cheers
For all Patients out there with such a problem:
It will heal...no matter how big the suffer & pain is...
had the last 2 years 4 issues because I was to lazy to stretch and went right out to lift weights (even had same issues with simple work in the household), I am now 38.
Never had any issue before with bulging discs.
What helps is consistent training.
in my case: Martial Arts & Bodybuilding
Tysm! I have a bulged disk bcs I lifted something heavy the wrong way. What did you do to recover? Can I go to the gym directly or should I heal completely first?
Can my back heal after herniated disc sergery L5 S1 ? I have 3 weeks since I makeit and I still have pain on left leg
I had a L4 herniation and i got my spine to recapture the disc so no more pain
I actually have an extra lumbar vertebrae and everything is extra compressed. So 'technically' my L5-6 is what my chronic issue is. I'm only 39, and have been getting injections from that disc having a chronic herniation since I was 19 years old. I'm now at a place where surgery is a given 😩
