Im 17 years old and I have 4 herniated disks, 2 of which are inpinged (dont know how to spell) on my spine. Half is from my parents (genetics), and the other half is from a 10 pound tumor I had removed from my pelvis. I am no longer able to play softball because of my back injury, which really sucks becuase I had played for 12 years and absolutley loved it. it was my life...!! Any one else in my situation, or have a similar problem??
