Hello,
Having slipped disc is very frustrating because it limits you from alot of activity such as lifting, moving heavy things, and any work that rotates too much around the waist area. So what can be done to lose weight while having this problem? It is a problem for me as i am still overweight although i've lost 4kg from 84kg to 80kg, i'd still like to lose another 5kg. By losing that only that much weight i can reduce the chance of hurting myself even more. By reducing the weight stress to my lower back, knees and ankles. Plus sleep will be much better when you're at your ideal weight... less snoring :P

I got this while i was googling (it's a word now i guess ), a search over the internet on how to lose weight while having Slipped disc, or also known as Herniated Disc. Im quoating all these from Ehow.com at this url http://www.ehow.com/how_5686580_lose-weight-herniated-disc.html


Instructions
1
Follow your doctor's instructions explicitly regarding exercise avoidance and other lifestyle modifications when it comes to caring for the herniated disc. While a herniated disc might slow your weight loss efforts as you will not be able to exercise as intensely as you could before the injury, your number one priority should be healing rather than fighting through the pain and potentially putting your body on the sidelines even longer.
2
Perform as much low to moderate intensity exercise as you can with your herniated disc. Swimming, brisk walking, and use of cardiovascular machines such as the Stairmaster and the elliptical should still be possible, albeit at a lower speed than you could when injury-free. Make up for this decrease in potential with an increase in duration, aiming to perform at least 30 to 45 minutes of exercise at least five days per week, cutting your exercise session short if your symptoms become too much to handle.
3
Follow a strict diet consisting of zero cheat meals while attempting to lose weight with a herniated disc. This means sticking strictly to fresh natural foods. Follow the Mayo Clinic food pyramid, basing your diet around consumption of fruits and vegetables (unlimited servings per day), limited amounts of whole grains, meats and dairy (three to seven servings per day) and low consumption of fats (three to five servings per day). (See Reference 2.) As you will no longer be able to exercise away dietary mistakes, you will need to increase your level of compliance with a healthy diet to 100 percent to optimize your ability to lose weight while injured.Read more: How to Lose Weight With a Herniated Disc eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_5686580_lose-weight-herniated-disc.html#ixzz1BLHPDBpr

Hello!

Today will be my fourth physiotheraphy session.



Will go through series of treatment, here's the usual sequence of treatment.


1. Ultrasound - to the spine area and especially the part where my muscle aches because it has to work more when reacting to the pain which makes me go limping to one side. The ultrasound will relax the muscle and soothes it because it passes through the skin and reaches the nerve and muscle.



2. Heat Pack - The physiotherapist would put 2 - 3 heat pack on my back, buttocks and my leg area to soothe the muscle and nerve.



3. Electric Current Treatment - this will work the muscle bit by bit to strengthen it i guess. They'll patch a few on my back buttocks and legs then i'll be electrified :P


4. Traction - What this will do is it will pull my spine a little bit to relief it of the compression.


They'll strap my lower body to a puller machine and upper body to the bed where im lyin on. Then the machine will pull my lower body for about 20 seconds then rest 10 seconds.



The Problematic area of my Back is my lower back. Where most people have their back pain as well. Its the area where our body rest on... the Lower Back!





So advice to all, GOOD POSTURE!




And even during using PC at the office and at home. POSTURE POSTURE POSTURE.


Good posture heals most of our lower back pain. Currently im wearing a Lumbar spine strap braces, so i wont bend forward to much and sprain my back nor my spine. It helps me to sit upright properly as well. Shirley always catches me slouching which is so not Good. As for her, she has always had Good posture, even my first impression of her is... she has a very good posture.


So as for my slipdisc, here's a picture of how it hurts my nerve.





Lumbar spine is the spinal area commonly know as the lowerback area for layman like me.


Like the diabram above, my slipdisc occured between L4 and L5. Or something like that.

Please click on the picture to see what lumbar spine is and also the other names of our spine and it's purpose :D


Ok then, i dont have anymore things to say bout spines,
what i know is that dont mess with it, take care of it...
you only got ONE spine you know..


hehehehe


OK then God Bless and have a nice Day!

Good day to all,
last Thursday i was diagnosed to have slipped disc by the Doctor. Funny thing is...The X-ray and MRI photos shows that i had 2 slipped disc before this. But now it happened between L4 and L5 spine. Been having this pain since december 2010, but last wednesday night it hurt so bad i couldnt sleep at night. And the next day rushed to the Clinnic, met the GP and he see that i had spinal frolasp, (if that is what he said or even how it's supposed to be spelled), then refered to the specialist who was funny enough but also good at his work. Took X-ray and then MRI scan.
The absorber jelly that i had in between my spine leaked out and hits my nerve causing severe pain and numbness on my left leg. So now by default i'll sit every 15 mins only, means i have to stand more than i can sit because of the nerve in my buttocks also hurt when i sit.

Yesterday and today seems to be ok, comparing to the past few days before that as i've been surviving the pain by taking painkillers.Been taking 4 pills a day and then on sunday took only 3. then yesterday only took 1 before going to bed. and hopefully today the pain doesnt come at all.
And been attending physiotheraphy and it seems to help. I just hope for speedy recovery.

I thank God for Shirley, she been looking after me so well that i feel guilty she's doing all these things. God knows how i appreciate this wonderful lady.

Alright thats all for now, God Bless!
