Subject: RE: L5/S1 Disc HerniationL5 S1 from shoveling the driveway. ^%$#8&^*&^% snow!!! Had the same problem as described, foot drop, shooting pain down the sciatica, couldn't really walk, in fact crawled down the walk to the car for the surgery. Had the surgery, 6-8 weeks recovery and then slowly back to the gym for work on abs. Now more than 15 years later, strong as a 56 year old ox, doing tri's, my first century ride coming as well as my first marathon, and then next year shooting for the Nevada Silverman to put it all together. The only time I really get pain is if I sneeze without supporting my back. |
