A herniated disk between L4 and L5 vertebrae. What does that mean, you say?? I'll tell you....I have no friggin clue. I have made an appointment with a orthopedic specialist but am unable to get in until February 7th. Until then I am pretty much in the dark. I don't know if working out can aggravate the disc more, if I can make it worse, if working out is okay and I just have to deal with the pain. Frankly, I just don't know. I am reading some online but who knows how much of this applies to me. My doctor is just reading a report given to them from the MRI peeps with instructions to see a specialist. So now I wait another two weeks, dealing with the pain and I guess not working out.
I have watched about a hundred videos on YouTube and this one seems to be the best explanation on what is physically going on inside of me.
I guess I wait and try to get an earlier appointment. Any one else dealt with this issue? What should I expect? Any suggestions on exercises? None at all?
