Hey everyone, it's been a while since I visited the forum, but I'm recently getting back into weight training after taking a long break. Over the past couple years I've just been really busy work, I have children now, so I haven't had a whole lot of time for working out like I did, but I really want to now get back into it.
The problem is that I now have a bulging disc in my L4-L5, and I'm curious as to whether or not I would be doing more harm than good by doing weight training. I know how to execute proper form and I know how to begin a regimen after taking a break, but I've never dealt with an injury like this. I'm on an inversion table twice a day and I'm in pain meds. The doc says there's about an 80-85% chance I can reverse the injury.
I used to love training back and I'm really wondering if by doing so I'd just aggrevate and inflame the injury or if I can accelerate the recovery by strengthening the muscles. Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you very much!
