Herniated/Bulge Disc

Appreciate the feedback. Starting to feel some improvement from the steroid shot. Continuing with PT and acupuncture. Just found a chiropractor that has the DRX900. Have an appointment tomorrow, looking forward to seeing if it will be beneficial for my case. Luckily, this is a workman comp case so the majority of treatments and medications have been covered.

Do NOT attempt to use a foam roller on your back while you have this injury.

100% agree with what Ross said about posture. I've have lumbar supports for every vehicle i ride in for the past 20+ years and any chairs i sit in for more than 30 min.

I've had both cervical and lumbar epidural steroid injections. Suggest having an especially competent doc for cervical epidural steroid injections to prevent complications. Lumbar injections are generally less complicated.

The single best and longest lasting thing I've done to reduce spinal and other lower body joint pain is to drop 55 pounds and keep it off.

Good PTs are worth their weight in gold.
