Hi there!

So recently I found out that I have a spinal herniated disc in my chest area.

I am curious if somebody has a similar problem or any back problems overall and how that affected your life in face of exercise, nutrition, etc. :)
thanks!

    I have facet joint inflammation at C4/C5 that comes and goes. At the moment it is giving me a lot of gyp and I played a miserable game of tennis today. I treat it with ibuprofen and wine.

    I have arthritis in my spine which affects some of my nerves too.

    I can't do any exercise of any real intensity so limited to walking, pilates, yoga. Really gentle stuff, obviously that affects my weight loss sometimes as I would just love to do something like Insanity or even just lift! I used to play badminton and even when I have a game every now and again it causes me a lot of discomfort.


    Feel free to add!

    Very sorry to read that, face. It is miserable when your back problems stop you from playing the sport you love.
