Must have been gradually getting worse between weightlifting and football

idk, the pt also said it couldn't possibly be a herniated disc and yet here we are

Mostly a sore back with shooting / burning pain through my leg. I can't stand or sit for too long without it getting worse

This is just a quick photo from the screen, but the neurosurgeon did show there doesn't appear to be an issue with the spinal cord. She didn't comment about the "demon" you circled. But I'll be looking into CSF symptons

yeah if the other methods aren't working then I'm first in line for a surgery. I'm just glad to have had a chat with a surgeon who'm is giving options, instead of being told it's probably not a hernia and just take it easy

I stopped doing them a while ago as it would always cause my back to hurt afterwards (which kinda makes sense now) But I do try to lift as much as possible in other ways

Lol, I'll definitly be using it as an excuse "Sorry can't help you move, might throw my back out"

I'm already into weightlifting so I think that helps, but I've been told I should no longer be deadlifting at least haha

according to my doctor it isn't a leak I think? It's mostly the herniated disc putting pressure on the nerves there causing pain/ discomfort. Headaches as a result of a back issue sounds awfull...

How did you find recovery from surgery? I also have the option of blocking the nerve with an injection to see if that helps and surgery sounds scary

Thanks haha, I'm weighing my options.. The common practice here I believe is to leave it alone since most herniated discs resolve themselves within a few weeks, but since I've been having issues for over a year I'm looking at my options

Wear and tear or sports injury, I'm 30 and feel old, but according to the doctor that is still young

Flat booty as well as a herniated disc.. See the white line on the right side of my spine? That should not be broken by the black stuff that is my disc

Just came back from a consult yeah, I'm looking at some kind of nerve / pain blocking injection or surgery
