I'm 26, no kids, I have 2 herniated disks (L4 and L5). L5 was an old injury. I think it happened when I was in the 4th grade and fell out of a swing, but it never really bothered me. L4 happened a couple of years ago, and now I have a lot of problems. I don't agree with having a nerve block, that only covers up the pain...it doesn't fix it. Surgery is not an option according to my doctor. They say I need to build muscle strength in my stomach and back, but I haven't found any exercises I am able to physically do. Symptoms are extreme pain, numbness and tingling in both legs, both arms, neck, and around my right shoulderblade. This isn't all the time, but I would say a majority of the time. I have at least some problems/symptoms on a daily basis (mostly just the pain). Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
