Bulging disc I think

Starting last night I have lower back, leg and ankle pain. Plus pins and needles in both legs.

gonna make an appointment with the doc. Hopefully I can get some physio

I had a burst disc back in 2008…exact same symptoms that you’re describing. I also had a bulging disc. They did back surgery for the burst one and fixed the bulging one at the same time. I haven’t experienced any more pain after that, although the aftermath of the surgery was pretty painful. Yeah, get it checked out, for sure.

I have a bulging disc in my back. It’s been worse after giving birth twice and carrying.

Yesterday I almost threw it out again.

Hopefully they get you an x ray to see what’s going on and can treat it accordingly.

The first physio I saw gave me way to much to deal with

Saw the senior one after refusing to comply

She got me to do this and it helped

Walk the dog further

Don’t use arms to get out of chairs or walk up stairs

Increase swimming

The strength I have built up has made it more tolerable

I was surprised how much an effect just a few simple changes can make

The other guy wanted to train me for the olympics or something!
