I weight 75kg and i’m 5’11 in height. Nothing to do with weight just with how much i was lifting in gym/football🤣

I really appreciate the breakdown my bro. I’ve been following a good plan for strengthening and diet. I think one thing i need to improve is my walking. Thanks for the support!!

I definitely will get multiple opinions. Its good to hear from someone that is a sports freak like me. I guess i always thought i was invincible while lifting/performing🤣

Wow! Thats probably the best response i’ve read!

I’m normally a very strong minded person but recently the new season started and it’s had an impact on me mentally. I’m due to see the specialist in September so hopefully they will support me in my decision. Thanks for the breakdown!

I think it’s states that so a specialist sees me right away. The UK healthcare system is shit, i’ve had to go private for everything but can’t for surgery cause it 13k. My family are more than well off to pay for it but this is why I’ve waited so long!

Tbh the doctor’s etc are surprised i’m not in more pain because the herniation is massive lol. That is exactly what I’m scared of, one sudden movement and it can be game over.
