Re: [RC] Help for Herniated Discs -- lumbar - Kristene Smuts

She's stopped riding....surgeon wanted to operate, but other docs say

no....What therapy/medications/alternative therapies have folks found
helpful for this situation?  Naomi>>

I was diagnosed with it beginning of last year.  Explored all my
options and surgery was NOT an option.  Did rigorous physio and was out
of riding for 6-8 weeks.  Now I have to just be careful in what I do -
not pick up heavy things (I can still carry a 50kg bag of whole oats
though! ;-)) ), ride with a kidney belt, careful how I bend and pick up
things.  It's a lifestyle change to a degree, but like with anything, if
you're keen on riding, you make those changes!
