L4 / L5 herniated- MRI. It’s been about a year but the Dr.’s do not seem to think surgery is the answer- can walk 1-2 miles a day…mostly only sore in the am before walking. Want to incorporate core strengthening excercises (sits ups/stretches) but is there a proper sequence that should be followed? E.g. Walk first then stretch and do sit ups or do sit ups and stretches first? Does anyone recommend any excercises? Been following the McKenzie method…by far and away, the most recommended movement seems to be lying prone (face down) and and pressing up onto elbows and then hands to make a dramatic curve in the spine (accentuating the Lordosis- surve of the back). Made an appointment with a Neurologist- just want to keep an eye on Sciatica nerve root compression- occasionally get a little tingling in leg/foot which is not good- especially after strenous stretching- really do not want surgery–don’t want drop foot syndrome either- PLEASE HELP BY OFFERING AS MUCH ADVISE AS POSSIBLE- LONG INFORMATIVE REPLIES WELCOME! THANK YOU!!!!

I’m trying to deal with depression resulting from a herniated disc that I had happen in my neck recently. I’ve had to take a lot of medications, injections in my neck, etc. and I keep getting told that these will only help temporarily, and that I will need surgery. I’m terrified of the thought of it. I could use some good advise on how to deal with a situtation like this? I’ve been told to find things I like to do, but I can’t even get my mind to work that way right now. How can I overcome this?
There was some nerve damage from the sciatica nerve damage from herniated disk. I can lift right leg by thinking about it, but I basically have to push down on my right leg in order to get the momentum to lift my left leg. It feels like my primary muscle to lift the leg doesn’t easily work, only ‘backup’ muscles allows leg to lift, while right leg can lift naturally… Is this something that PT would assist with?
Herniated L4-L5 disc with sciatic pain down left leg and foot, moderate to severe at times. Have tried 2 shots and oral meds, no real pain relief, physical therapy with traction provides temporary relief. What options are left and how to avoid surgery? Am a busy self employed contractor and am unable to take the time off work for surgery. Not to mention fear of the surgery and complications. Any advice will help at this point…Thanks
Every once in a while I get sharp pain in my lower back. I’m guessing it’s from working out for long periods of time and over exerting myself. Any suggestions to relieve the pain or prevent it from coming back again?
