I discovered a herniated disc in early Dec 2011. I initially thought I pulled a glute so I RICED, when recovery halted I saw a doctor. I've been having it treated since February. Oral medications didn't seem to affect my pain and inflammation so I opted for the steroid epidural. I have significantly improved but will be getting another shortly.
Currently I am consistently doing my PT exercises, eating healthy, drinking plenty of fluids, haven't gained any weight, and am staying reasonably active (within my limits). I still can't fully extend my leg when sitting, yet.
What can I expect during the next few months of recovery?
