My back is f*ked and I'm here to deal with ir

Hello everyone,
I'm 24, M from India. Two days ago I was diagnosed with slip disc and a minor fracture in one of the discs in my spinal cord. I weigh 110kgs(242lbs).

I was into sports and have used this app frequently in the past, but recently lost track of everything in my life and landed up here. LOL.
Anyways, negativity aside, I'm still hopeful that i'll take care of my back, also my doctor has told me to lose 30kgs(66lbs) to survive in one piece.
Looking for some people to do this with ☺. Ciao

    I recently hurt my back, not as bad as you mind, but I did some yoga to help and it's done wonders. Have you given it a go?

    I've been told to be on strict bed rest for the first ten days, and then they'll tell me how to go about the exercise and other things. So waiting for that.
    Also, a lot of my friends are suggesting yoga to me. I'll give it a go!

    I was seeing a great chiropractor to help with my back.

    Degenerative spinal disease, arthritis, disc issues, scoliosis, three surgeries - Pilates ( with a master instructor) was well worth the investment for me.
