Hello,
I wanted to see if I could get some advice on my condition. 30 year old. Herniated L1-L2, 4mm x 8mm disc extrusion. Strange spot to herniate. Pain is intense and really doing my head in. I hurt it 6 months ago but finally diagnosed with MRI 3 months ago. Day after the MRI went to a masseuse who really pushed down on it and seems to have damaged it more.
For the last 2 months I have seen little/ no improvement, but it is hard to keep track of and my constant anxiety around the condition isn’t helping. For others that herniated discs and had a “natural recovery” were their long periods of little improvement?
My GP is avoiding surgery because I am so young.
Wanted to hear others thoughts and experiences recovering.
