Spinal Injuries in MMA

[Adrian Dimberline]

Yo,

Anyone every slipped a disk in their lumber?

I've dont it twice this year, first in March then three weeks ago. Obviously got some core stability issues which I'm addressing as part of my recovery.

Any recovery tips from anyone? I'm out of active compeition I think for maybe 6 months but that's good enough and I need to get back sooner.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Ta,

Adrian.

I think you need to consider first of all what the actual problem is.
"Slipping a disc" is not a general injury or something that you simply rest and recuperate from.
The pain is agonising and your options for training become very very very limited. What kind of active competition are you taking part in?

If you are going to force yourself into some kind of exercise, without me being an expert - I would suggest swimming; the buoyancy will offset a lot of pressure during your movement but with what you are saying, you for sure need to see a specialist and not simply your g.p. If you have slipped a disc, then don't rush anything - or if you haven't; then you need to establish what you have done exactly because slipped disc is bad description for back pain otherwise.
