[QUOTE="Fishbulb, post: 359236, member: 10981"] im 6'1 & currently 215lbs. When I was working I was about 190lbs so yeah i gained a little weight but im not a fatty. It was the L5/S1 disc that was herniated. I think thats the last disc on the spine or 2nd to last, something like that. They did a discectomy & trimmed off part of the disc that was touching the nerve. Before I went back I was still in a little pain & they did a 2nd/follow up MRI which showed I had some residual herniation but as I stated the doc told me I was at MMI so he told me to use ice & a heating pad on a regular basis. Heating pad helps a little but its still tough to walk. Tried a chiro & it made it didnt help, he did do what he called trigger point accupressure, basically he dug his thumb into a few of the muscles & had me stretch, that i liked. Tried accupuncture too but i didnt notice a difference. One of my on car sups had the same problem when he was younger but much worse, he had rods & pins put in his back which I dont even want to think about at my age, im only 31. [/QUOTE]
