A member asked:
What kind of sport i can do if i have lumbar disc herniation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The answer is: whatever you can TOLERATE....One obvious suggestion is SWIMMING which actually may be beneficial for your back. You need to check with the Physician who is treating you for this condition. Is it "chronic"?? Acute disc herniations often require activity limitations. Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
