My husband and I were in an accident almost a year ago he had a CT scan and had a disc bulge of 8mm i think that s how u say it...so now for a couple of months he s been having really bad back pain he can hardly bend it hurts him in his groin area his pelvic and move down to his thighs..he thinks it might be a hernia in his stomach his left side looks a little swollen..can it be his herniated disc or a stomach hernia or something different?
Hi, if your husband had a herniated disc in the past. It could be possible that the symptoms of pain he is getting now may be due to the past injury. Kindly try to do some small core strengthening exercises. Perform some small static exercises by doing static qua Chat Doctor.  Try performing straight leg raise as well. Use hot water fermentation in the back and try sleeping on you stomach if the pain is severe. Try looking out for McKenzie extension exercise and core stability exercise which will make the core stronger and help you get rid of the pain. I wish your husband a speedy recovery. Thanks
