Hi guys. Not casino related at all but Im 31 and my lower back is fucking shot.
Ive worked at a desk for 12 years and been gyming for 4 years. Im 5ft 7 and around 12 stone. Done some big lifts in my time, Im in pretty decent shape.
Well. My back started aching around 2 years ago. Doctors ignored me and told me to keep doing what I do so I did. Then a year ago it got worse. Finally after an age I got an MRI which showed herniated discs and DDD (Degenerative disc disease). So basically my disc height is gradually decreasing and bone will start to rub. No cure, dont want an op and wasnt offered it anyway. Just constant chronic aching.
Obviously sitting with shit posture for 10 hours then deadlifting 200kgs without warming up didnt help. I was a tit tbh. I still gym but focus on form more than ever. Screw lifting with ego.
Just a heads up to nurse your backs guys. Take a walk. Stretch. Dont get lazy
Anyone else back fucked? Mines L4/L5 and L5/S1. Be keen to hear others stories and remedies.
