i've had to learn A LOT about herniated discs because i've got many
i spent thousands trying to fix the issue going to chiropractors, doctors, physical therapy, getting cortizone shots, etc... none of that shit helped me.
the truth is weight training, gravity , and using steroids will almost certainly lead to disc problems. what you must do now is change how you train, go lighter, avoid things like military presses and pull downs
. but the truth is there are 2 things in order that actually have helped me live a better life aside from what i wrote above and that you need to do:
1. hot yoga, especially bikram style yoga
2. inversion table
