I'm having a slipped disc few years back and undergo an operation almost 1 and a half years ago. Although its getting better but the pain is still there. Anyone experience this before and any recommendation/advice to make things better even after surgery?

I'd advise you to consult a specialist in back pain. I know a doctor based in a hospital who runs a private clinic in Desa Sri Hartamas from 6-9pm. Give him a call and schedule an appointment to see him --> Dr. Hon Sook Pang @ 017-792-5998.

I've heard many success stories from his former patients. He specializes in treating back pain without resorting to surgery.

Slipped disc at where? why go operation in the first place? didn't u get 2nd opinion before agree to operation?

Hi!

Yes. This happened to my best friend. She had slipped disc when her posture is not correct for hours. At one time, she can't wake up from bed as the pain!!

Thank God that she found a very famous and effective physical therapist into Chiropractic in PJ!
When I have my knee and shoulder pain, I also go and visit this therapist and just 1 session, i found my pain is relief!!
Let me know if you want the contact.

hi,
can recommend the chiro ?

i had slip disc too, mild one, but really painful and can't walk properly. my physio recommend some exercise cos not serious to undergo surgery.

I have slipped disc for 12 years now.... was bedridden 3 times since then... last acute attack was 5 years ago. When I get the acute pain, it last about 1 week... bedridden for 2 days, after that I will be back to normal. According to my surgeon, this attack comes once every 3 years or so... on average, I will need to go for surgery within 15 years of the first attack.

I find sports help alot in keeping my back pain free... irony is, I got my slipped disc from sports!!!

Bedridden for 2days. wah so good, I hv to carry the pain to work everyday for almost 2 week, pain most when driving Myvi

But strangely during those time, when I jog, it was pain free, and it felt so good, during running...

Hah, funny thing also, whenever i do not exercise, the pain comes back....
My physio advises no heavy exercise, i was like pain like hell...
Then I decided to go 10 KM run, and WALLAH..... no pain wor.... was pain free for almost 2 weeks, then no exercise.... it came back..... aisehman.

I got L5/S4. what i do is keep on swim. Now i didnt feel any pain ATM.
I try not to lift heavy things and if really need lift it with good posture.

I've got 2 at L4/L5 and L5/S1. Happened around the beginning of 2010 from very poor form while weightlifting and a serious fall while playing football. I had treatment done at Global Doctors in the form of spinal decompression traction therapy, interferential current therapy and ultrasound therapy, and then later on physiotherapy was added on top of that. Took about a year to be pretty much pain free and I'm back to lifting heavy again with no pain, and with much better form.

Glucosamine HCL

try have some of this supplement,

joints might need some nutriens

hi bro, can you get me the adress of global doctors? how much is the total cost

My chiropractic is in PJ in Damansara Perdana.
PM me if u need the details.

Hi guys, there is something called negative ion which can help u guys on the back pain. My friend has been using quite sometime n there's free pain now.

Pm me if u need the the details.

Back pain usually can heal by itself, unless very serious one.

the DTS must be administered by a trained personnel.

coz it only focuses on specific areas which need attention and not the whole spine.

What's the cost of the treatment?

Thank you for your recommendation. So far I am ok now

Yea i have slip disc L4/L5. Didn't go for pls as doc says no need if pain is ok or no pain. Now focus on always having right posture, and form esp when exercise. Keep active everyday. Also, visit this chi doc once every month to slowly correct the problem of spine. That's 6 months ago. But I think I injured my back waaaaay back when I was going all hulk with squats at the gym. Lifted too heavy, and thought it's just minor muscle strain. Since then, even if I push it a but, I will get this lower back strain. Eventually, few months back, the pain became unbearable, and my friend suggested I get X-ray to properly diagnose it. Yes it's a slip disc! So guys, don't think it's nothing when you experience pain. Go for checkup and correct it immediately. And please, please... Be careful the quote NO PAIN, NO GAIN. it's not even funny.

i am getting this, but still have not undergo xray or MRI etc.
Its not really pain, but i feel my left shoulder back until my left hand feels numb (or somewhat like feel abit no energy).
The feel gets stronger till neck if i walk for some distance or head looking straight for some time.
Now currently doing physio theraphy. Is already 1 week + , seems relief some pain, but the overall numb/dull is still there.

my friend used to have L4/L5 slip disc confirm by MRI scan, bedridden for a week and cannot do much for a month.
she went for a physio center for muscle strengthening especially the back. then a year later she join gym and started under a trainer/specialist to train her back some more. now she can do weights and lift heavy stuff without much affect on her back. like do back extension with a 10kg plate considering she is around 50kgs.

my advise is, if you have slip disc before, try to slowly do exercises that strengthen the muscles holding the spine when you try to do a certain movement or carry something with weight no matter how light/heavy and if your muscle if fatigue, your body have a tendency to compensate using your back to support. this is where the risk comes from.

exercises should be slow and non-jerking and many reps to train muscle endurance.

most people don't realize how weak is their muscle protecting their spine, i am not sure i got this correct, so slip disc is becoming more common and especially in women. i heard of cases where a girl was getting down from the driver seat and turn her body too fast because she was in a hurry, the twisting motion cause her L-section to have slip disc.

so do take care...

Guys to those who had slipped disc, how did you get it???

Got mine through sports.. specifically Basketball

Got it thru gym.... Too much weight and bad form. Yes most of us has very weak back and weak buttocks. Due to all day sitting in front of pc. Observe others around you, back is usually straight (should have a good curve) with not much or not ass.

Hey guys, you can attend this free health talk (by physiotherapist) abt low back pain and knee pain to know more about your condition.There will be free onsite assessment and consultation too

4 way tug of war

so sports accident? How high are the chances of getting this bcs you have to sit a lot???

not sure of percentage, but I've heard some cases even when sitting a lot. Most likely because of keep sitting with bad posture

Im not too sure with the percentage but I believe it is possible.. Bad posture especially sitting on the floor.. It will accentuate if you are on the bigger side (like me)

Hi dear, do not go for operation as I hv a customer go for it becuz she though operation can faster relief the painful but at last the side effect come after 2 months of operation. She lay on the bed totally can't move at all.... luckily her fren intro her a girdle to help to solve the problem...
