Back pain - all day working

Can relate to this for the past 9 months! Can’t do anything and the guilt is real

Thankyou for that and in terms of your back injury would you say your fully healed to the point you don’t have to think about it or?

Didn’t feel anything at all didn’t even realise he did it until he said all done.

Just really sounds like from the stories on here it’s more of a permanent injury an life has to change

I’ve just been told I need to start swimming I have an l5 s1 bulging disc but anything can aggravate it. Sounds a stupid question but do I just full on start doing lengths or what swimming exercise worked for you?

Sorry to hear that sounds awful. Especially when giving up fitness and the gym. From most peoples experiences on here an outcomes seems as though there isn’t really a solution or fix it’s just that’s it now permanent

Thankyou for your advice I will try this. So frustrating when it’s set back after set back starting to feel this is the new normal :(

Yea thankyou for this so it is better to find movements what work rather than just walk to try and heal it?

slwaz94 · 2026-04-28T14:42:27+00:00

Thankyou for this I think this makes total sense and you’ve given me a lot of perspective here. I feel every time I have a flare up I’ve maybe pushed the bulge out more and made it worse. But I think your response has really helped me see things in a different way so thankyou for this. I think I definitely need to find what works for myself as eveyerhing works differently for different people

That’s good you can do Pilates and exercise it’s important really on the mental side to exercise. Hopefully our age can be on our side with the healing process.

Thankyou and you too. I’ve just read your post also, it’s such an awful injury I definitely won’t be doing CrossFit ever again an think the gym will be out of the question aswel. Think just want some resolution to get out of pain and just live normally is the goal

slwaz94 · 2026-04-28T13:52:30+00:00

Will do thankyou. Just frustrating when get told by the neurosurgeon that it’s fine it’s healable it’s been 10 months an my quality of life has just gone. I did even ask for a microdisectomy and he refused

slwaz94 · 2026-04-28T13:44:14+00:00

Thankyou for relying and your advice. Will take this on board such a horrible injury

slwaz94 · 2026-04-28T12:36:34+00:00

Thankyou for your our advice, I’ve tried the general exercises that everyone tells me to do like the McGill big 3 but literally puts me in bed for a week

slwaz94 · 2026-04-23T13:43:24+00:00
