I've had a bulge at l5s1 for 20 months now, and I just have to manage it as best I can. It lets me know when I overdo things, and I go for physio/massage once every 6 weeks or so. I also have ball exercises I do every night, and exercises I have to do in the gym if and when I can. My aim is to build up my back muscles, and 'contain' things as best I can. Hope this helps.

So if you are able to live a normal life keep going, pilates and swimming excellent options.

I think changing my job has helped.im in care now so i dont nt bend stretch as often..obviously i do still worry bout my back..as initialy in the beginning it stopped me having a life..ive had two bouts of depression in the last year due to this slight pain..
Ive still considered the operation to have no pain
Any advice

I am 25 and going now for 3 years since my slipped disc injury. I had 2-3 months of heavy pain at the begining and had to also quit my job! the pain now is bearable and it comes and goes. I like to work out and I ride a moterbike. dont like taking pills for back pain so only do when pain is bad. Id like to somehow help my back heal so it can be like when I were younger - pain free. unfortunatly Ive heard that the operation is maybe not worth it for me but I am yet to seek more professional advice..
