re: Herniated disc L5: Orthopedist or neurologist help

I am an RN and herniated L4 and L5 at age 49. MD's gave me pills, wanted to operate, etc. I said screw that. Went to chiro and was so bad he couldn't even adjust it. After light stretching and lying on the roller machine he was able to adjust me the second visit. I started doing yoga and core strengthening exercises. After six weeks all pain was gone and I could touch my toes again. Chiro told me that if everyone did yoga he would be out of a profession. That was six years ago and it is doing well. Even went through P90x several times without issues.
I guess what I am trying to say is go see an MD, surgery, pills, etc. if you want but the percentages aren't in your favor. I would try other avenues first. In any case good luck and I hope you get better.

I went to Dr. Girod at Baton Rouge ortho. I went to lake after hours first they have me muscle relaxer, pain reliever, and anti inflam . A day later I couldn't feel my right leg and I went to the er. I was in hospital for three days and got the spinal epidural. I had my follow up last week and they want me
to give injection more time. I asked if I should go to chiro and they said stay away the could do more damage. I go back on the 30th
but I am in so much pain. I do some Mckenzie stretching which helps.
