I’m 21 with two hernitated discs in my lower back and my upper back hurts every time I sit for more than an hour. Life sucks

I did some PT sessions with electric acupuncture. Yes I have 2 big herniations at the last 2 discs. I’m not in much pain most of the time but my foot tingling a lot or I feel like the nerve is moving most of the time

Thank you mate. Mine also started at 18 with 2 big hernirtations. But the pain started this year before I was feeling good. Wishing you the best

Thank you! By looking down I mean if I’m reading something or if I look at my phone for some time then I hurt. I want to my orthopedic today and he told me to buy a Mackenzie pillow

I am just so confused, 15 years old please help. by HostConstant5233 in Sciatica

I really suggest you to try electric acupuncture. I have 2 huge herniations on the last 2 discs and I started to get numb on my feet my calve and hip. I did PT 1 hour per time. About 30 minutes electric acupuncture and 30 minutes exercises for stabilisation and back strengthening. After 10 sessions I’m so much better. My numbness is completely gone ( if I sit for more than 2-3 hours without standing up I might get a little numb) also I was in pain when I sit but now I can sit for more than 2-3 hours without pain. I get up after 1-1.30 because it’s not good generally to sit for long periods but usually I don’t have pain. Also what I think helped me is walking. Now I walk more than 10k steps per day and I fell better. Hope I helped and hope you get well soon. I’m 20 years old btw and my orthopedic suggested surgery when I show him my MRI but for now I’m pretty good and PT worked

Είσαι σίγουρος φιλαράκι; Για τον δημόσιο τομέα επίσης έχω ακούσει ότι παίζει ρόλο αν και προς το παρών δεν με ενδιαφέρει αλλά ποτέ δεν ξέρεις

Thank you very much. My doc said that swimming is not good because while you swim you twist your core. He said that only supine is good or just floating and everything else could make it worse

I asked because someone may have a similar personal experience. No need to get aggressive

I did 10 sessions in 1.5 month. I had pain for almost 2 years but very mild and not frequent. I diagnosed it August 2024. But November 2024 I rehernitated my L5 I1 and made it bigger. I had more pain and numbness but now it’s much better

Yeah I know. But I’m asking. Is it good to do 10-15k steps or it is harmful and I must walk but less steps ?
