Q: Slipped Disc And Skiing

asked by: patrickwong on August 2nd, 2007

New User

I recently (5 wks ago) suffered a slipped disc at the L5/S1 level and am still in the process of recovery. I have always been very active and a keen skier/jogger. What I like to know is will my condition prevent me from doing these sports again and how long should I rest before commencing any form of training?
