Anyone with herniated disc experience?

[Wynn]

I have mine in the lower neck from my car accident in '01. It bothers me from time to time when I push too hard in the gym or don't stretch to keep the neck muscles in balance. It will never be the same but there is a risk of rupture in the weakened area. After a rupture, surgery to fuse it will limit the range of motion you will have.

Be careful on the big lifts.

I herniated one of mine a few years back. I'm fine now. Find a good chiropractor (you may have to try a few out) and get an MRI. Then take some time off and heal. Time off sucks, but you have to do it or you just prolong a return to 100%

if all you are is experiencing a tingling in your leg it is probably from a pinched nerve which can be caused by a herniated disc.. i fractured 2 of my upper verts and herniated one and it was the most painful thing that's ever happened to me.. i was paralyzed for 3 days and went through intense PT, im sure my pain was due to the fractures not hernated disc though but mine will slide out of place every once in awhile and ocassionaly pinch a nerve and ill get those tingling feelings from my hammy to my toes.. found a really good chiropractor (went to 5 before this one) that fixes it everytime in one pop!

Are you sure it's not a pinched nerve?

it may well be a pinched nerve, and seems like it would be. like I said, it is definitely not extremely painful or anything along those lines - just very weird with the legs tingling a lot and kind of going numb for a second or 2 at random times.
