A member asked:
Is it safe to exercise with an l5 extrusion? specifically elliptical or spinning (bike)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Exercise, especially cardiovascular regimens are helpful although you may find sitting to bother your back so you may want to consider cross training if there is some aggravation of your pain spinning. 90% of disc herniations get better non operatively with a 5 % chance of a recurrence which is minimized by regular exercise.
