Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Continued Physical Training Be Done While Having Disk Bulge At Multiple Segments?
Good morning DR. I am a 42yr old male which has a special forces Physical Training in May, but I have a MRI that states Disk bulge are present at the L3-L4, the L4-L5 and at the L5-S1 segments. At the L5-S1 interspace there is an associated left posterolateral annular tear. I have been getting PT and Prolotherapy which has helped. I have been an athlete all of my life and it looks like the banging is catching up to me.
Q: As an althlete, which are not your average people, what is your recommendation on a nonstop 4am to 9pm physical training such as NAVY Seals with this type of condition?
