JP- I will be and have been avoiding surgery at all costs. I am giving the Lyrica and PT sessions another month or two and then will re-evaluate. I start a new job which requires travel, so we shall see how I fare in the upcoming weeks. The neuro spine surgeon I go to will most likely be out of Rush here in Chicago which is ranked really well nationally. But, when and if I do go in I will ask him what you said in your post. Thank you so much for your continued postings. What else do you think I can do to heal my herniation? Your help is much appreciated!
Jcruverp- tell me more about the MI discestomy. Recovery time, back to work timing, workout timing, etc.,. I would love to hear more about it as everyone is different and I want to hear from someone who works out.
My workouts to this point have been depressing me as I cannot push any weight and the cardio side is non-existent. My bball buddies dropped me from the emails, how depressing is that? My saturday full body workout is on hold and that is my favorite one as it is all supersets and heavy weights. Oh well, patience is needed and actually more concerned about having to sit all day for the new job.
Any other tips for healing is more than welcome!!
