I have 2 herniated disks from about 15 years ago… between c5 & c6 and c6 & c7. Worst pain of my life and when I first learned the wonder of oxy.
There is hope and believe it or not, if you strengthen your back you’re much less likely to experience pain and issues. I started lifting almost 10 years ago now, and heavy lifting at that. I was worried what squatting with a heavy bar on my back might do though. Learned good form - this is key - and in strengthening my back I’m virtually pain free now. Little things never hurt it.
Talk to a PT or other professional who knows your particular issues about strength training before you start, and as I said learn good lifting form. My ortho has encouraged me to keep it up… my PT too. It’ll change your life for the better.
Dont lift with your back, kids.
I did… now I dont anymore, more like I cant anymore
Im not even old
False
Disc herniation is a hoax anyway.
Sold to you by big back
Orthopedists hate this one weird trick.
Id know, I have one for over a year, and people tell me that once you get a hernia on one of disks, your back is never the same
I believe them

I got it, by pushing with my legs, a lot lot lot of kg, but not enough training, maybe a few weeks then I went in too much
Worst part: doctors didnt see anything, they didnt even do all the necessary scans, and I forgot where I put the paper for order date
