L4 / L5 herniated- MRI. It's been about a year but the Dr.'s do not seem to come up with surgery is the answer- can walk 1-2 miles a day...mostly only sore within the am before walking. Want to incorporate core strengthening excercises (sits ups/stretches) but is there a proper sequence that should be followed? E.g. Walk first then stretch and do sit ups or do sit ups and stretches first? Does anyone recommend any excercises? Been following the McKenzie method...by far and away, the most recommended movement seem to be lying prone (face down) and and pressing up onto elbows and then hands to make a dramatic curve contained by the spine (accentuating the Lordosis- surve of the back). Made an appointment with a Neurologist- just want to keep an eye on Sciatica bravery root compression- occasionally get a little tingling in leg/foot which is not good- especially after strenous stretching- really do not want surgery--don't want drop foot syndrome either- PLEASE HELP BY OFFERING AS MUCH ADVISE AS POSSIBLE- LONG INFORMATIVE REPLIES WELCOME! THANK YOU!!
