HELLO TO EVERYONE
I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TWO HERNIATED DISC AND WONDER NOW IF THERE IS ANYONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I DIDN-T HAD THE CHANCE YET TO TALK TO MY DOCTOR(THURSDAY) BUT I AM SO UNPACIENT AND WORRIED.... TWO WEEKS AGO I WASN-T ABLE TO WALK WITHOUT PAIN. YESTERDAY I STARTED AGAIN DOING GENTLE EXERSICE ON MY ELLIPTICAL TRAINER AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT MY BACK FEELS PRETTY GOOD. I WOULD LIKE TO START CHALEAN EXTREME IN A MONTH...AFTER CHECKING WTH DOCTOR. BUT FOR NOW I WOULD BE NICE TO HEAR OTHER PEOPLES STORIES AND PROGRESS.THANKS.

    HI!! i was diagnosed with a herniated disc two months ago and i'm unable to walk and currently waiting to see my neuro surgeon tomorrow.
    My therapist recommended NO kicking,not a ton of twisting etc....(I was doing Turbo Jam when diagnosed) If I were you I would stick to the elliptical if that keeps you Pain free because I think you can make it worse.I would hate to see you in my shoes....I have been bed ridden for 13 days....Good luck :)

    I'm taking it your injured disk is in your lower back. You should take it easy for right now until the doctor gives you direction. Simple walking, easy stretching, even easy elliptical is okay. Don't push it too hard, don't try to pick up anything too heavy that requires you to use your back. Watch your posture and think about what you're doing. Believe me, I know it bites. My injured disk is in my neck which causes shoulder/arm pain. Ouch. Your doctor will probably line you up for physical therapy to help with your rehab. I'd wait on the chalene extreme for now until you get a chance to talk to him/her.

    THANKS FOR THE QUICK REPLY!!

    FITCREW> MINE WAS DIAGNOSED WHILE DOING TURBO JAM TOO!!! YOURS SOUNDS REALLY PAINFULL. I HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON. I AM QUITE AN IMPACIENT PERSON, BUT I KNOW WHAT IS AT RISK. YOU TAKE CARE, OK?

    LUNAMARE> ARE YOU ABLE TO LIFE A NORMAL LIFE (APART OF TAKING PRECAUTIONS LIKE POSTURE, STRENGHENING BACK, HOW TO PICK UP THINGS...)HERE IN SPAIN THEY TEND TO OPERATE QUITE QUICKLY BUT I DON-T WANT THAT WITHOUT TRYING EVERYTHING ELSE.

    SO OFF TO WORK NOW! THANKS AGAIN.CRIS
