Diagnosed 4 weeks ago with herniated disc and bulging disc... On lots of drugs including amitryptilyn .. Pregbalin.. Hydro codene .. Diazipam ... Etc...

Am walking for an hour and had my first swim on Sunday ... Only 10 lengths but did cause some pain... Want normality and a glass of wine ... Any advice appreciated ....

    I was also on the same meds. I weaned myself off gradually when my pain lessened, it does ease but has always come back. I'm also in the queue for an operation.
