Hi all. My doc, after several weeks of all kinds of examinations, finally diagnosed me with degenerative disk diease. Now, the disease is not the largest problem – the main problem is that most medicines are anti-inflammatory and I can not take those because of a stomach ulcers. Right now I’m using a gym system that uses your body weight as resistance which does not hurt my back, and doing back stretching exercises too. Am I doing all I can? Is there anything more I could do about it?? Thanks for all suggestions.
So far, I think that you’re doing good job. As I personally don’t know complete nature of your condition, I can’t recommend you more exercises, but I strongly believe that your should know few more. Nevertheless, be very careful when lifting and never bend at the waist when lifting. Good luck.
