What Is A Herniated Disc - Symptoms, Causes, Treatments

[@Vixinaful]

If I enjoyed it?! Im on my floor not feeling pain for the first time in 22 years! THANK YOU!

[@peanutbutterisfu]

I have herniated disk and arthritis. The first few years was terrible because I was misdiagnosed I couldn’t stand up for long. The best thing for pain is not pain killers that’s the worst thing to do! Getting the shot in ur back, doing exercises to strengthen your core muscles is a HUGE help and the other huge help is to learn ur limitations if I don’t lift more then 15 pounds, keep active and don’t do anything to aggravate my back life is much better. You just can’t do things like you once did. You cant try to carry everything at once you need to make more trips to avoid carrying the weight. Do not lay in bed for more then 8 hours or your back will hurt more resting too much will give you pain. I was getting shots in my back every 3 months but after I learned my limits I now only get a shot about once a year. Do not take the easy route taking pain killers it’s not the right way that’s like putting a bandaid on a broken leg it just doesn’t work.

[@MAXIMUMTOLERANCE]

Thanks. I've been dealing herniated disc for 2 years now.

Also holding your abs tight will take pressure off of it. So strengthen your abs/core and it'll lessin the pain.

So the army told me there’s nothing wrong for 4years. I’ve experienced numbness tingling and temporary loss of the use of my legs while trying to exercise. Literally been stranded due to flair ups during workouts. Been told it’s a “lumbar strain” but I’m 23 and literally can’t walk around Walmart without leaning on a cart. Can’t even walk down the street without anxiety of “how long till the pain starts”.

[@camjones3723]

Having a similar issue , lost flexibility in one my legs , tight lower back, pain and numbness in one of my feet !

[@nataliapinon4139]

So I too always say “how long” “when will I get it again” well I got a flare up last night because I’ve been working from home and my desk chair wasn’t working and now I’m stuck on my bed because my leg is tingling and back is literally burning. Kinda like someone is stabbing my back inside my body lol hard to explain... but literally if you step wrong or uneven it can happen just be prepared for it!

me too, i've been having pains down there since last Halloween. At a certain point my legs began to shake by themselves everytime i sat down like wtf, I've gotten x rays and nothing rly showed except my lumbar is being straighter than it should be. I'm pretty sure i got sciatica tho :(

[@pikan_golman]

@@garcand I also injured myself deadlifting a few days ago. I feel pain in my lower back when I try to extend or slightly hyperextend my spine. Wondering if that's what you got also and how it is now after a month?

[@CarlosMendoza-zw2gw]

How long did the pain last, I’m experiencing this right now

[@TrainandMassage]

​@@garcand and @Nikola Vujadinovic Deadlifting and then lower back pain can be caused by 2 things. 1 is the pull from the deadlift which is more than likely to injure the lowerback. Or, its from the front of the hip flexors being too tight and pulling down on the pelvis, creating pain. Even though it could be weak muscles causing pain, it could also be tight muscles causing restrictions. Try to foam roll (self massage) the hip flexors for 2 minutes each and the QL's (side lower back). Then stretch those muscles.

[@karenfox9982]

I am the opposite, I stand 6 to 8 x3 days a week..pulled my back on the delivery, hoping the exercises help❤😊

I was doing a flexion stretch forward (trying to touch my toes) when I herniated a disk in the thoracic area in my back. Now I can't move and my hand is tingly. I was using heat!

[@MrGrantgibbs]

I’m locked up at the moment,the only thing that will unlock my back is diazepam. When I wake up my right leg is numb,I have to wait to get the feeling back. I’ve tried exercising etc and it makes my back worse. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve got this for life,it’s never going to get better

Omg I think I have a herniated disc. I’ve been in pain for almost two yrs. Dignosed w Patellofemoral syndrome. Which I think is true too but everything you are explaining about how the pain travels down to lower limbs I have it all. My PT told me he thought my dignosed might be nerve related but couldn’t figured out. I went to three orthos and they just kept diagnosing me with patellafermoral. Until today one decided last min to do an X-ray of my back. He look of his face. He wanted me to do an mri. I’m scared I might have herniated disc as I’m in tremendous pain.

[@komalpahwa4476]

A Slipped disc is a common problem that usually takes place due to wrong posture & long-time sitting job. It is also known as a herniated disc that creates a problem with one of the rubbery cushion between the individual bones. A spinal disc is jelly donut with softer center within a tougher exterior. This condition occurs when a softer jelly pushes out, it irritates the nerves, & causes numbness, pain, or weakness in legs or arms. Many people with the slipped disc issue are gone through surgery but not get any proper relief.

[@robertocarlos2934]

Go to the ER yes. If it's not treated it could become worse. Your arm and tingling is indeed because you hurt your neck. Please go as soon as possible and ask for a MRI scan. Don't wait. Hope you will be fine

Any answers recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[@TrainandMassage]

You might be, we tend to forget that we are always using muscles, regardless of our position. So, even sitting down means your technically activating your hip flexor muscles and if these muscles get tight, they could lead to lower back pain. We may also feel tightness in the front of the hips.

[@SophieMarieWellness]

If flexion irritates the spine, why would you do cat? When I do cat/cow, cat seems to irritate my back more.

[@abhishektomar2082]

Because you are flexing your spine it might give temporary relief but in reality it makes it worse.

The more you flex your lower spine forward, the more you are weakening the firm jelly material/disc in that particular leaning position. It may hurt initially, because the area is still tender from injury but leaning backward is the intuitive way to fix a problem that occurs from leaning forward too much.
