I recently hurt my back playing golf (6 weeks ago) and the pain was intense and sudden. I was sent for an MRI scan and the results came yesterday showing a compressed fracture of the L1 vertebrae. My doctor has told me to go back to him in 6 weeks but hasn t prescribed any treatment but I am having physio and have been given a set of exercises but these were based on them thinking I had a slipped disc. I am worried the exercise may do more damage.
Hi, thank you for posting! I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns. According to your medical history, I can say that to suffer from herniated disc. Exercises and chiropractic procedures can help you in relieving your symptoms. You can also take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines. You need a lumbar X-ray, in order to check the condition of herniated disc. The results will help your neurologist in determining the treatment. All the best.
