Overcoming a herniated disc in the lower back

Ten years ago, I started experiencing numbness in my right leg below the pelvis. I underwent MRI and CT scans, received a diagnosis of a herniated disc, and was scheduled for disc surgery. However, during the surgery, my coccyx was blocked, preventing the catheter from being inserted. I paid for the surgery but could not proceed with the procedure. I only received physical therapy and gravity-free non-insurance treatments at the hospital before leaving.

He had poor sitting posture and always crossed his legs while sitting. Additionally, although he liked to exercise, he had no core muscles to support his lower back disc. He tried bowling by holding a 14-pound ball, which is heavier than the usual 10-pound ball, and played five sets of games. As a result, he developed a herniated disc in his lower back.

To treat my condition, I did walking exercises in the swimming pool, such as walking a full 10,000 steps, along with stretching and my favorite yoga that put minimal strain on my back, and I stayed away from exercise and social activities.

But disks have a cycle. Sometimes it hurts a lot, and other times there are periods when it doesn't hurt at all.

During the period when the pain worsened, I endured it well and focused on strengthening my core muscles through exercise, which helped alleviate my herniated disc pain. Now, my core muscles have really developed, and it seems that my herniated disc has almost completely healed.

For those with severe circulation issues or disc symptoms, it is recommended to strengthen the core muscles of the lower back through exercises like planks or walking uphill with proper posture on a treadmill, avoiding excessive strain on the lower back. Gradually, as if getting clothes wet in a light rain, your core muscles will develop over time, and eventually, you will reach a pain-free state.
