Back Injury

[carsonschaos]

Haven't been here in quite some time.
I was wondering what the outcome of you pain was.
I posted a little about my back pain.
I've since did the spinal decompression, a waist of time.
9 weeks ago, I had a discectemy.
About 3 weeks after, the pain was gone.
Finish 5 weeks of PT therapy today.
I am painfully stiff in the morning but I loosen up after 15 or 20 minutes.
Still have some odd feeling in the back but no pain.
I'm ready to get back in the gym.
Have been completely out of it for about a year and a half.
So I'll be starting out very slow and probably no more back breaking stuff.
Hope you've gotten better.

Herniated or bulging disc or possibly Degenerative Disc Disease(which i suffer from). MRI will tell the tale.

I have some disk degeneration also.
The surgen told me that I still have about 3/4 of height left in the L4,L5 and L5, S1.
I put off the knife for a LONG time, but if I known what the outcome would be, I'd had it fixed a LONG time ago.
Went from standing for 15 minutes and being in much pain, to being able to walk for hours with no pain.
Forgot what it was like.
Not sure how I injured myself but I spent a LOT of time in the gym for about 15 years.
Now I'm 43 and just want to be fit again.
Done with the superman stuff.

Dont know if this was said before, but what was ur body weight and ur deadlift poundage when you got injured ?

as far as i know using steroid has been banned. i think it can harm us. The inhibition of natural hormones is probably the most common and probable side effect experienced from the use of anabolic steroids In almost all cases, adding a hormone into your body will send a message to your endocrine system to stop producing it.

Its better to consult physiotherapist.There are few stretching exercise once if you started doing this you will get recovered.
