@sophieholder19: I cannot believe it’s been a year since my injury and I wish I would tell Soph back then it was going to be okay 🥲 my heart literally breaks watching this back and I can still feel the pain I had for months on end 💔 #backinjury #gymgirl #gyminjury #1yearlater #backinjuryrecovery

Katherine🦋 :

Sciatica for 4 years now gained so much weight everything hurts 😭

𝓛𝓲𝓵𝓲 ⋆ ♑︎ ♡ :

Sciatica and disc bulging on my L5-S1. Pain was 9/10 every day but physical therapy, acupuncture and weight loss helped. Pain now is 3/10 everyday. I sleep with lidocaine patches every night and feel great in the mornings !

buildwithbaylee :

😕 back injuries are the worst! I did similar picking up my hairbrush 😭 I’m very careful now 🫶🏻

brookemeighan :

So this can still happen even with good form??😭

amandaleigh.x 🏆 :

I slipped my disc picking up a yogurt pot off the floor… since then about 4 years ago my back has got so much worse 😫

Laura’s :

I did exactly the same a few years ago it was the second worst pain, sciatica was by far the worst

Papas :

L4-L5 herniated disc, did the surgery 1 week ago… the pain from surgery in day 1 was less than the nerve pain…

ᴬⁿⁿⁱᵉ :

Thats why i prefer pilates

_.qual :

Any idea what this specific injury was? Swear I had the same thing happen to me

mia :

I feel you. It’s been 3 years for me. I forgot how it is to not feel pain.

jackie_eng :

Worst pain I have ever felt in my life! I wish this on nobody.

girl. :

This also happened to me, same everything! Thought I was going to die.

MADS VILLADSEN :

4 years of pain. Thankfully just finally got scheduled for ALIF surgery next month! Yes, I have tried 19 different treatments without luck

Else :

It’s been a year since I found out I had a huge herniated disc, which they had to remove fast. Could barely walk anymore and had to finish my last exams during a high dosis of pain medication. What a surprise, I’m in my masters degree now and it is back, exactly a year later ☹️

Hanna W :

back injuries are the worst. 4yrs on, and im still not 100%, never will be what i was like before. its a long road but you’ve got this 💖

patriszjastolatt :

two of my discs slipped and broke month ago:( im still dying from pain… hope ill be okay as well and ill be able to move again like you!!! such a traumatic thing fr

em dawg :

Oh girl I remember seeing this when I did the exact same thing with a deadlift… I underestimated how much strain deadlifts put on us.. how’s your training going now?? X

🩵gab💙 :

Slipped a disc 10 years ago and it still flares up sometimes. Light overhead weight + standing marches are my GO TOOOO exercise to relieve the pain. It will get better!!

JustAnotherJessica :

I would get an MRI if you haven’t already

ISABELLA RODDICK :

You’re SO strong💖💖

GreenEyedApple :

how to avoid this? as im reading the comments it can happen even when picking something small up... and it sounds so bad and tiring im so sorry for everyone

Jordan :

Had 2 back surgeries & with the right stretches it get better but prepare for those winter months because that cold air hurts

𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐚 :

Wow never related more!! 🥺 Hope you’re ok now 🥰

dani__lomas :

About four years ago I had a herniated disc at L5-S1 while squating... I've had several relapses and sometimes I still have pain (sciatica), but mobility and careful training are key! ✌🏼
