Disc bulge at 19 need advice
19m with disc bulge l4-l5 degenerating disc for 3 years. I’ve been in and out of pt 5 times. I have had an epidural that had short term relief. I will go periods with no pain and return to normal activities like running soccer surfing. while I have no plan I do my pt exercises and work on mobility and strengthing. but then I will have a flare up for a couple of months so bad that I can barely walk. doctors are suggesting disc replacement or stem cell therapy. the pain is only under glute or feels like in glute on both sides or left or right. it’s weird because I will have bad pain in left area then a couple of weeks go by and there’s no more pain in left but pain in right. it’s a sharp pain that makes my body tense. I’m just pretty frustated because whenever I feel like I’m free and have returned back to life it immediately gets stripped away and I’m back to sitting in my house doing noting. any advice I feel like my body is 70 years old. (p.s I have pretty bad mobility)
