You need to call your doctor again and ask what your actual weight restriction is. If the docs office vague again SPEAK UP and ask how many pounds specifically am I allowed to lift and how long is this weight restriction for. You are the patient so if you don't get the answers you need the first time speak up and ask again. Do not let the docs office give you vague answers about anything you ask whenever you speak with them. Speak up and ask them to be specific.

doctors are only people too, they don't have crystal balls. A herniated disc will limit you by the way it feels. Suggest you learn from a physical therapist how to lift in a safe manner before you go trying to pick up your daughter or anything that weighs more than 20 pounds. In other words, squat down and use your legs to do the lifting, DO NOT bend over to pick anything up.

My wellness care professional has constrained me to lifting no greater desirable than 25 lbs. i does no longer jog no longer till you run on grass. There are days are sense fantastically plenty and then think of that's okay to enhance something and then i'm going to wind up in soreness. you would be able to desire to continually remember that the disc subject is there. You did no longer say in case you paintings or no longer, yet i'd sidestep sitting too plenty as this places greater tension on the discs.
