The never ending problems of a slipped disc!!..
Posted , 4 users are following.
About 3months ago i wrote on here after suffering with my disc.. i had the epidural which i admit really helped for the few weeks after where i wasnt working.. i have had to give up my occupation in beauty therapy and have started a office 9-5 which unfortuantly has triggered everything off again.. can anyone else relate or suggest any advice!
the hospital have refered me to physo which really isnt helping. i have started naproxin again as i dont know what to do... i dont want to carry on taking paracetomol/ibuprofen every day... and certainly do not want to be in pain.. im only 25!!!!

Is the disc sequestered( broken) and lying on the nerve? If it's a disc bulge, core strengthening will help, but not if you are going to sit down all day.

Has a microdisectomy been discussed?

Andy Murray had a microdisectomy last spring and he was in the Australian Tennis Open Final last month. MDs have a 90% success rate.
Nerve pain is horrendous I had it for 5 months, injections just delay the inevitable and I am not convinced physio will release a sequestered disc. Although I am only 5 weeks post op I am glad I had it done. NHS will fob you offf because these ops are expensive.

It must be serious if you have had to change occupation.
