Ok im 16 yearsold and I suffer from a herniated disk. At first I didnt believe it but I took an mri and surly that was the promblem!! Damn the pain was so bad!!!!!! I never felt this type of pain before most of the time I would get so parranold because it hurted my left leg and ill walk all crippled . Well this went on for 9 months I had physical therapy I felt a little better but I was still limping so my doctor recomended me a epidural so I took the shot 2 times all ready I need one more appointment though. It helped my pain but I still cant bend alot.Before all this I lifted weights alot I think thats what caused but nways I told my doctor if I could lift weights. He said yea so I started lifting lite by the 3rd day my pain felt a little worse I dont know if its me or the cold but im wondering should I be lifting weights if I fell like this if it will get me better I have no promblem with it!! How bad is it to lift weights at this time?
