Herniated a disc in my back yesterday in an unfortunate soccer collision and wow, I have never felt anything this horrible in my life. Taking any and all recs from people who have recovered from back injuries. 💛

Yes definitely going to get an MRI to confirm

Only recommendation I have is get it checked by a professional. 

Don't take our advice, we know nothing about the seriousness of your injury. That said, from what I heard from people that had it, 1cm is usually the threshold between "therapy will solve it" and "have to get an operation". Depends on the disc, of course.

Back injuries are the worst. 

Steer clear of opioids. I’ve had more success with an osteopath over a physiotherapist or chiropractor.

On the off chance that someone reading this doesn't know about the wonders of Tiger Balm, here's your nudge to try it. 

Recently I suffered a lower back injury (my first, and hopefully my last) that left me in pretty severe pain. 

I tried a bunch of things to ease the pain while the injury healed, but Tiger Balm was the only thing that really helped. 

After using it every day for about a week plus returning to my yoga and Pilates routine, I'm pain-free once again. 💜

I see you've already gotten some good advice (e.g., "get it checked by a pro") but FWIW, I injured my back last month and for a couple of days I could barely even move. A heating pad helped some, but Tiger Balm was the only thing that really worked in my case.

sheeesh hoping for a speedy recovery toady 🫂

ohh hope you feel better soon! 
I love playing soccer too.. so I know how this feel! 😪 😔

Get an MRI so you know what shape the disc is actually in, and dont let a chiropractor near you. Usually a steroid course works the first time you do this

Ugh — I got nothing but sending good vibes

Heating pads and acupuncture. 

My brain doesn’t believe in acupuncture but it’s the only thing that helps my back.

not to be messed with as many have said. dr, and treatment. 

wife has chronic back pain. (from a lifetime of gymnastics) it is 'no bueno'

rest, therapy, shots  -> surgery is our next option.

Oh no :( get an expert opinion as soon as you can, Toady. I hope and pray it's nothing serious. Get good care ✨

oh no, do get a check up and i hope you'll have a speedy recovery toady!

My advice, do the rehab

Do all of the rehab

I'm still paying the price for bailing on it too soon and that was 15 years ago

Do what the doctor says, take care of yourself and rest etc.

I've had a long road myself and was able to stay active duty in the military (usually people get kicked out after the first because they can't maintain the physical standards).

Feel free to reach out anytime
