Anyfucks, we cannot pinpoint what caused this so there's no point on harping on that. It's time to fix it as best I can and move on with my life, especially because this quack said it's okay for me to continue working out. BOOOOOO! (I'm lying, she's not a quack. She's a pretty awesome doctor, and coming from me you know that means a lot.)
But what I really want to address is, umm, the films from my MRI. I have questions.

If anyone reading this is or knows a radiologist, please help a sistah out because I'm not trying to be a host to some sort of angry alien being who's trying to take over the world through me. OH MY GOD WHAT IF THIS ALIEN CONTROLS THE VOICES?!?!?
SEND. HELP.

Help you need.
The crazy is spreading!
I hope they gave you muscle relaxers because that's what saved me both times I herniated discs in my back. I didn't take the whole prescription, just enough to relax everything and have it stop spasming.
And take it from me. Whatever PT they teach you, take every word to heart and stick to it. I herniated my back 2.5 times. No idea how it happened the first time ... the second time was because I did PT til I felt better and then stopped, soon to re-injure the same area within a year ... the half time was the last time, when I felt the twinge but had enough PT under my belt to nip it in the bud before it got bad.
I'm really surprised you were told you could keep exercising.
Kelly- my pain isn't as bad as yours sounds. Jeez- spasms? Muscle relaxers? I'm so sorry!!! Mine is more like "ugh it kinda hurts to sit this way for too long or at all" and doesn't prevent me from moving regularly.
But I will definitely take your advice and listen to the PT wholeheartedly and not with my Jaded brain, because my doctor warned that if it "spreads" to my lumbar vertebrae I'm toast!!
Then learn the hard lessons through me. Mine started out like yours and I totally ignored it ... until I woke up one day in so much pain that I had to call someone to help get my shoes on. Then take me to the hospital. They wouldn't let me leave til the muscle relaxers kicked in and I could get off the table myself.
BOY! Did they kick in.
Not saying it's time to train for a marathon or anything. Just keep the core strong and other supporting muscles limber.
