Lower Back fusion operation Pending….

I had suffered from two herniated discs at L4 & L5 for three years. I feel your pain, as I was in intense pain. Reached a point where something just had to give! I basically fixed myself in the end. Start of last year I embarked on a program of a combination of specific yoga stretches, a serious diet, a regimental walking regime, & finally a managed weight training program, which got me fixed. I lost two & a stones in weight, four belt holes, & regained some strength & mobility.

As for Golf, the problem I then had was due to being injured, I couldn't put in any cards & was disqualified from playing in many club competitions! That was extremely frustrating. Yes that's unfair, but an argument for another day.

Not sure if that relates but I didn't want to get involved in back surgeries if I could find an alternative. Seriously hope you can get your issues fixed. What works for one person might not work for another, so I hope you make the right decisions. Good luck!
