Herniated Disc?

Problem is you can aggravate a disc if that is the problem, Nate. A stretch that might work for one person's situation might make another's worse. I would recommend seeing a doctor. In the meantime, some OTC anti-inflammatories (I prefer Aleve) and some rest is the best medicine.

I had four herniated disks a few years back and tried to stretch and one ended up breaking apart and causing all kinds of havoc and a nice 7 hour surgery. Get your arse to a doctor, bro!

I have been living with three herniated disc's for about 8yrs. I have good days and bad days. The guys are right you have to find your own exercises and streches. When they are really bothering me, I lay on the floor hamstrings up against couch knees bent 90degrees and calves on couch. I sit there for about half hour. Use Ice and alieve. The less I weigh the less it tends to bother me. Staying active also keeps mine feeling better. But like the guys said see a Doctor. A friend of mine is an Ortho and I get an MRI every 2yrs to make sure not getting worse.
Good-Luck
