Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello: I'm a 42 year old active female who was diagnosed with Annular Disc Tear (S1). I like to do long distance bike riding which I can't do because of the pain in my lower back. I have foot spasms when running so cant do that. I'm afraid to golf too. I just swim and use the elliptical. How long does this take to heal? Will I ever be able to run or bike again? What did you suggest is the best course of treatment? Painful process. Thanks for your feedback
