L4-L5 herniated disc - Back Pain Update #9

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Wow, it’s been a long time since posts.

Well I’ll start from the last post.

I managed to get my walking up to approximately 30 minutes, which required a lot of effort.

Then in early November I went for a walk and the pain in my ass, calf, and foot was pretty extreme after about 5 minutes of walking.

This hasn’t really improved, and now in March of 2007 I’m still restricted to 5 minute walks.

I can actually walk a lot longer, but all of it has to be in 5 minute stints.

So I walk for 5 minutes, then either have to squat or sit for about 30 seconds to a minute and away I go again for another 5 minutes. (more…)
