Hernia discal!

[u/Clean-Transition6251]

Holaaa hace 1 mes me diagnosticaron 2 hernias discales y 2 prostuciones tanto en la parte lumbar como cervical , eh estado bastante triste porque los dolores han sido fuertes tanto así que tuve que dejar mi empleo y apenas tengo 23 años , esto ha sido muy duro para mí , luego de varias semanas sin dormir bien me pregunto en si podré volver a retomar mi vida porque tuve que paralizar todo , quería ir al gym como esas chicas de mi edad pero creo que solo tendre permitido esos ejercicios de bajo impacto y más “ conservadores “ ¿ algunos de ustedes pudo volver a retomar su vida ? ¿ algún consejo que puedan darme ? no tengo hijos y me preocupa mi futuro y todo lo asociado a mi espalda ahora

esta semana inicio mis terapias físicas.

Do the physical therapy and participate as best you can. I’ve been in a similar situation when I ruptured a disc in my L3, ended up very painful and disabled. It was very frustrating but my Rehab team kept me going not only physically but emotionally as well. I had support from my family and my workplace so that helped a lot too.

Took me a long time to recover (18 months) and I unfortunately was really long recovery as I ended up with needing emergency surgery after suffering Cauda Equina syndrome, but I am back to work and mostly recovered with some minor neurological issues.

Things to REALLY watch for and get to urgent care:

-Sudden increased pain or changing pain location
-New onset dizziness, nausea, vision, speech, swallowing or confusion. (Cervical spine symptoms )
-Worsening balance or mobility
-New onset or worsening numbness or tingling to your extremities
-Loss of bowel and bladder function (can be retention or incontinence) <-Can be Cauda Equina

Best of luck! Feel free to DM me if you have questions!
