Back Issues

[inoverdrive]

Lat year I went to the doc and had my usual check up. Everything was ok but I did find out that the disc between my L4 and L5 vertebrae is completely worn. So its almost like bone against bone. So I guess I am trying to figure out what I can do abouyt legs and back thickness were it will not make anything worst.

what kind of treatment are you getting for your back? They can fuse them together, lil pt then you should be able to get back to a high level of training, or they have artificial discs, kinda like putting a new spring into the shocks of your car(think it might be injection)... have you explored any surgical routes? Or are you just going to live with it?

Trying to live with it. I do exercises that help the muscles around it. Fusing it is a last resort.

I dont blame you on that. You should talk to them about possible injections that will help with the pain, and like i said they have artificial discs as well. Possibilities.... I dont think doing workouts will really make your condition worse, however, it will cause you pain. Percocet will become your best friend! Do you get shooting pain down your legs? If those thats nerves and a medication called nuerontin may not be spelt right should help and its a non-narcotic
