A member asked:
If i have a herniated disc, can i go back to running regularly once the pain goes away? is there anything special i should do or watch out for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure!: Many herniated discs can be treated without any type of procedure. As long as you are not experiencing symptoms like, numbness or weakness in your legs, loss of bowel or bladder control, then getting back to exercising is a great goal!
