Anyone else suffer from bulging discs and back spasms? What non-surgical & surgical treatments have works for you?
Currently dealing with l3-l5 bulging discs that acted up over the weekend (ended up in the ER as I tried to lay down during the episode but couldnt get back up). Doc prescribed steroid pack , methcarbomol, pain pills, but its not really treating the root issues as its been a week and still hurting.
Five moths ago I messed up my hip/lower back pretty bad doing Romanian dead lifts with 585lbs. On the 5th rep before I was about to drive up I let my air out. Heard a nasty pop and felt it. Ever since then My lower back/hip always hurts. Sometimes its Sciatic sharp pain and other times a popping sensation over my outer knee. I have tried a lot to fix it and this is what I found works best for me.
* Active release/ Deep tissue massage once a week
* cupping
* CBD transdermal Pain relief creme
* chiropractic work
* Kratom
* Wrapping your knees when squatting
This is whats i tried that didnt work
* working out while fighting through the pain
* taking Deca
* taking MK677
* switching from compound lifts to leg extension and hamstring curls
* taking joint support supplements with insulin
Things have been slowly getting better. Just hit a DL Pr last week. Hope this helps you out OP
