A member asked:
I have two bulging disks, annual tear, siatica all in my lower back. im a nurse have to lift patients everyday. is that going to aggravate the tear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can certainly do so,: Any lifting at work or home, can be deleterious for your back. Suggest see P Therapist to learn the Do's and Don't at the Back School, where one gets taught about the causes of pain and the aggravating factors in general, and specifically those pertaining to you. See your PCP and get evaluated. Good Luck.
