I went to my family doctor to get medicine for pain. I was asking him about my herinated disk He told me I wouldn't be lifting weigts anymore. And he mentioned like bend over with weight
I know my very first post on this thread asked about still being able to bodybuild. Just asking for more opinions.
Is it posible to compete competitively with this type of back injury if so does anyone know any bodybuiders that do

Hey Mate,
I had herniated the disc on between C6 & C7. Fought surgery for 8 years...wish i had not wasted 8 days getting surgery now. It was a lifesaver in more ways than one. They scrape out old disc, put a cadever bone in its place and then screw a titantium plate into 6 & & to maintain the spacing. Worked great. Back in action in no time.

Well I done all I could to aviod surgery and nothing helped, so I went ahead and had the surgery yesterday. When I got up from the recovery bed, I had no pain at all in my leg, the first time in 6 months my leg didn't actually hurt. Man it feels awesome
My surgery was a Mircodiscectomy. Today is the day After my surgery. My back is sore where they cut it. But other than that I can move now, what a change , feels good
Congrats...thats good to hear. Good luck with the recovery.
Any word on how soon you can be back in the gym?
Congrats Building. Glad to hear you went through with it. Great days are ahead.
Sorry to hear that .. I heriated my l4 and l5 3 different times in 2001.. Heavy goodmornings without a belt did that..500lbs+ for reps..
I did not have surgery and it got better over the years.. I trained at Westside Barbell and used the Reverse Hyper and pulled a sled to rehab my back.. now I don't squat anymore, and really don't have any more back pain like years ago.
Best of luck to you.. its not the end of lifting for you with a back injury.. trust me..just have to train smarter ..
That sounds almost identical to mine. I was paralyzed from the waist down. Pain killers did nothing for me.
I had surgery 2 weeks later. The pain was the same from day one until the day of surgery.
Mine was not just Herniated, it was ruptured and you could see pieces in the MRI so he had to go in and clean it up.
I still have pain but NOTHING like before. I have been working more and more on core exercise and it helps a little but not nearly as much as I would like. The last 3 years it's SLOWLY getting better but I am 100% glad I did surgery.
BTW there are a few people here who compete and had back surgery. There are a lot of people who do HEAVY lifting professional who also had surgery.
Man its good to hear your doing good after the surgery. Im still not doing so well. The Doc thinks my L4/L5 may have herniated now after he fixed the L5/S1. Oh well, L4/L5 had a large bulge so it was a ticking time bomb. I hope that it did go ahead and herniate so I can just get it fixed now and be done with it for good.
