I unfortunately tore my L5-S1 disc a month ago (just got an MRI this week that confirmed). Any success stories with this injury? How long did it take to feel a little more normal?

I’m mainly seeing bulges and herniations when people talk about these types of injuries.

I’m trying to be patient but feeling discouraged. I’m 30, in shape, and a very flexible yogi so this was hard to swallow.

On 800mg ibuprofen and a low dose muscle relaxer currently. Seeing a neurosurgeon this week to hopefully help me with a plan for PT, etc. But really can’t do much and am not trying to because I know this takes time
