Herniated a disc in my back yesterday in an unfortunate soccer collision and wow, I have never felt anything this horrible in my life. Taking any and all recs from people who have recovered from back injuries. 💛

Only recommendation I have is get it checked by a professional. Don't take our advice, we know nothing about the seriousness of your injury. That said, from what I heard from people that had it, 1cm is usually the threshold between "therapy will solve it" and "have to get an operation". Depends on the disc, of course. Again, I'm not a professional.

Back injuries are the worst. Steer clear of opioids. I’ve had more success with an osteopath over a physiotherapist or chiropractor.

i've torn my shoulder & had glute med bursitis. both times i was recommended to get some sort of surgery. i thanked them for their advice and spent months fixing both myself. my motto is if it's not fully torn or broken then you can fix it without surgery. become an expert in whatever your issue is. watch yt videos, use ai to summarize medical papers (ask ai to explain it to a 10 yr old ) diet. cut out any inflammation foods (google will give you those) lift weights (when possible) biggest mistake ppl make is to stay away from gym. again google/ yt exercises/ rehab for herniated disc both my shoulder and glue med are perfect now. btw i'm 41 so i don't have youth on my side. it always feels like you have to climb a mountain with crutches but trust me it gets easier. oh and plenty of ice/ heat therapy too. 💪

My advice, do the rehab Do all of the rehab I'm still paying the price for bailing on it too soon and that was 15 years ago

Get an MRI so you know what shape the disc is actually in, and dont let a chiropractor near you. Usually a steroid course works the first time you do this

Heating pads and acupuncture. My brain doesn’t believe in acupuncture but it’s the only thing that helps my back.

not to be messed with as many have said. dr, and treatment. wife has chronic back pain. (from a lifetime of gymnastics) it is 'no bueno' rest, therapy, shots -> surgery is our next option.

I see you've already gotten some good advice (e.g., "get it checked by a pro") but FWIW, I injured my back last month and for a couple of days I could barely even move. A heating pad helped some, but Tiger Balm was the only thing that really worked in my case. https://warpcast.com/danicaswanson/0x78af8889
