Been in agony for months and the strongest prescription meds don't touch it. Had a scan which revealed a herneated disc L3/L4. Tried chiro, deep tissue massage, excerices but nothing is working.

Anyone had any successful treatments?

Thank you.

Thank you very much for all your replies - much appreciated!

My core is pretty strong anyway (was lifting heavy weights and jujitsu 4-5 days a week previously) but very inflexible. I think the cause was an accumulation of events; started with doing some gardening, then my car was written off by a rear end collision, then the ski machine in the gym, and the final nail in the coffin was kettle bell swings (which I was able to do without problem).

I've been recommended toward accupuncture but I'm a synical old git and consider that to be a load of Woo.

I'll give some of your recommendations a go!

Thanks again smile
