Exercises/Yoga tips for discs in your back slipping?

I'm almost 19 and after I had my son at 17, my back pain was so much worse. I went to the doctor yesterday and they told me my discs were slipping in my lower back. If they see anything crazy when I get an MRI I may have to get surgery.

Please help, I'm young and scared of my back to be doing this at my age.

Just relax and wait for the time being. I thought much the same after I started getting crazy back pain last year. Physiotherapist said I had slipped discs... Only went to the doctor AFTER that diagnosis for an actual x-ray and wouldn't you know it? My back was perfectly fine, nothing out of order, no slipped disc. Don't freak out until you have hard facts. Besides, if the MRI confirms you have a slipped disc, the doctor will be able to take care of you from there, surgery or otherwise.
