Herniated Disc?

Whipper Snapper · 11-08-2009, 04:38 PM

I have a herniated disk in my lower region. I could just be a wuss, but when it was initially herniated, it was some of the worst pain i've experienced in my life. Whatever it may be, see a doctor about it. Back pain is never fun to deal with on your own without a diagnosis. Physical therapy helped me tons. My disk only acts up on me now every now and then.

A wuss?
You can never be called that for this type of pain.
Anyone that would ever say that has no clue of what a herniated disc is like.
When you try to get out of bed and have to roll onto your stomach, and have to then help yourself up with your hands pushing against the bed and when you need your wife to put on your socks for you as there is no way you can leave the fetal position, there is no way anyone can ever call this crippling pain a wuss.
I have been in tears and still live with the pain consuming my life to this day.

Ouch, yes I remember taking about 10 minutes to put on my socks and shoes for several months and not being able to sleep anywhere but on my stomach; the pain gets pretty pretty bad sometimes. Like everyone else has said see a doctor, try to get a prescription for some Physical Therapy. It's good for short term pain relief, but even better for showing you stretches to do in the long run.

Also, if you enjoy working out, I would suggest you do a lot of work on your core, abdominal, lower back muscles. A lot of back pain occurs because of poor core strength.
