After 6 months of back & leg pain, I finally know what's wrong! I have a bulging disc. Not the best news but I'm just excited to know what's actually wrong. Now maybe I can get fixed. :D

Knowing what is wrong is the first step to recovery. I pray yours is quick.

I'm so happy for you. The first step in getting better:)

Is it really low? Mine is lumbar 4&5 basicly it's so low in the back it's a pain in the arse!! Stretching exercises help. Lots of sitting doesn't. When standing for a long period of time, find something to prop one foot on, it takes the strain off your back.

I hope they can fix it.

Hope you get to feeling better. Back pain can sometimes be helped by arching your back while sitting.

MY DH has a bulging disk (l4 - l5). he went to someone that had a decompression table, worked wonders for him. Hope you recover quickly!!!

Well this has been going for 6 months now. First Dr did nothing to help. Now I have to go see a neurologist. Hopefully she can fix me. Hope I don't have to have surgery but I sure would like to be able to use my longarm without crying. For that matter, I would like to be able to sit and sew without cringing. It sure has put a cramp in my sewing! Stupid back & leg!

Glad you found out what the problem is so now you can find a solution. Hope you start feeling better soon

sorry to hear bout your disc! but I'm laughing because I thought the subject was ----I FINALLY KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH MEN. BOY I was gonna chime in on THAT thread!
