A member asked:
When i sit in a chair and try to do straight leg raises it hurts so much in my lower back ? i do have a history of a bulging disk at l5 s1 help

"Doctor: It hurts...: The right and first answer when they hear that doing something hurts, is to tell the patient not to do the thing that hurts. I see no benefit of you doing straight leg raises with pain. Perhaps it is time to get back to the doctor to figure out what to do with your spine injury.
