Dealing with a slipped disc, exercises to avoid/replace?

[Vampirelol]

I've got a slipped disc, my question now is, what exercises should I be doing to re-strengthen my lower back/disc?

And what exercises should I be avoiding, I'm assuming bent rows, squats, deadlifts, etc.

hey brah, i had the same thing happen a while back, really i just replaced deads with rack pulls and hyperextensions. i was still able to do squats and rows, but i don't know the severity of your case. if you want, do more machine work for legs like press, extensions, etc. and pull downs for lats to replace rows. gl brah!

Thanks brah. Appreciate it, if you mind me asking, how are you fairing now? Are you able to do deads and such again or still working on strengthening the area up?

I have a herniated disc. What pain is it that your experiencing? Did a doctor see you?

[heinstein]

tons and tons of lightweight deadlifts

and the reverse situp things I think theyre called "hyperextensions"

It's like an extreme ache/pain if I put any stress on it whatsoever. Even moving my legs in certain ways causes it to hurt, the pain is right above my buttock close to the spine but slightly more so on the right side.

I haven't gone to a doctor but I'm going to a chiropractor in an hour. This originated a two weeks ago doing squats (goofed form a bit, just bent forward a tad because I didn't stay totally tight) and after 10 days it felt alright so I hit the gym again. After some more squats it felt okay but apparently I couldn't take the weight, it worsened back to it's initial state and I've now been extremely careful with it.

I slipped my l4 and l5 so far they were pressing on the nerve cord at all times.
Physical therapy and the chiropractor should become your best friends.

Ouch, that's rough. I think mine's slipped, but nothing too severe, chiropractor just helped out a ton and I'll be rebuilding strength slowly and carefully.

How's your recovery going?

Did you're chiropractor also believe it to be a "slipped" disc?

I explained the situation, he didn't negate anything I said, he said my lumbar and sacrum was a little misaligned after some feels and dippity doop. I feel slightly better but the injured disc remains the same. Guess it'll just take time.

I didn't go in to the doc for xrays or anything so I cannot confirm it's a slipped disc 100%. I've been looking into this a ton and from everything I've experienced and have researched I'm thinking this is the problem. If not slipped at least bulged, dunno.
