Slipped discs seem to be quite common, but looking on the net there is precious little information on the actual real-life implications of one. Probably because every situation is different. As someone recovering (hopefully) from one at the moment, I thought I'd ask on here to see how well others have recovered from them. As I'm living in a building site whilst not being able to do any work on the house, I'm getting rather peed off being in convalescence!!!
So, has anyone here had a slipped disc but gone on to fully recover? Can you still do all the heavy stuff you did before?
Has anyone here had to give up DIY or a trade career because of a slipped disc?
I'm 29, so relatively young and fit (could be much fitter though! ), and thanks to my proactive GP and a bit of luck with the waiting list I was in physiotherapy within a month. So, keeping positive and hopeful about it.
