WHAT EXERCISES WORK FOR L4-5 SLIPPED DISC?

[Guest guest]

Hi, anyone out there have any particular exercises that were

beneficial?? I have slipped L4-5 and L3-4 not looking too good

either. Having second epidural cortisone shot shortly. Have tried

various exercises but not sure if I am doing more harm than good, so

any recommendations would be great. thanks

Hmm. Barbs, I'd discuss this with your doctor or a PT. I don't know if

you're doing more harm than good, and I don't think any of us would

know. Even a trained PT couldn't advise based on your post. You need

someone who can look over your diagnostic tests and your medical history,

and prescribe a plan of exercises for you, personally.

Good luck to you!

I can simply agree with with this helps you (Barbs) realize that disc can

slip harms everone differently. I was on McKenzie routine for a week it made me

20 times worst......

Has anyone tried exercises on an excercise ball? Maybe someone already

mentioned this but While I cant so exercises on the ground, the ball is really

comfortable, I can to sit ups and even leg exercises, BTW I also have l4

l5 problems

more sore to start with and not sure whether to keep going and work though the

initial stages with the idea that things will improve, or whether I am doing

more damage. Am just doing brisk walks now but would really like to feel I

could do something more to help myself get better but guess its better not to

risk making things worse. Thanks for your replies.

My surgeon told me to get one of these and I did, but I'm a putz and have a

hard time using it. My DH just sits and laughs at my attempts. It looks

like the Big Red Ball That Ate . I have a wall diagram with exercises

that came with it that I should follow more closely.
