So about 8 years or more ago I found I had a herniated disc in my L4-L5 which caused me much back pain and sciatica. After some PT, a cortisone shot, and continued biking it slowly went almost completely away. I haven't had any issues in a number of years. Well last Friday I made the fateful mistake of leisurely walking to my kitchen to make some coffee. (What was I thinking?) Suddenly, BAM! Back pain. This time not really any sciatica but plenty of back and groin pain. Enough to send me to the hospital. So I'm a week out and it's only improving a skosh each day. This has put my GA AT completion on hold and maybe my whole Fall itinerary.
Anyone have back issues? What is your approach to recovery? If this doesn't improve I see another MRI/PT/shot in my future. I'm loathe to see a chiropractor and my roommate would likely shoot me if I did but has anyone had improvement see one?
