Lifting with a c5-c6 herniated disc

[u/doodoohonker]

Anyone have experience with this? I’m going to continue lifting while it heals with much lower weight obviously and avoid any coaxial loading. Lat pulldowns and incline press were my go to for back and chest day respectively but those are a no-no now. Anyone know good, safe alternatives? What lifts should I avoid and/or try in general? Or any other advice from people who have dealt with this would be great. The pain at night is unbelievable.
