I've been training Muay Thai for the last 7 years. Two weeks ago, after coming home from doing sprints, I felt terrible pain on the left side of my lower back, that's only getting worse. The doctor gave me painkillers and I have to go back tomorrow to see what's wrong with me.
I'm really affraid it's hernia and my life as I knew it until two weeks ago is over.
To all of you who had it, is it possible to continue with martial arts, running once you have hernia?
i had two femoral hernias went in for surgery, then was told to rest for 2 to 6 weeks i actually started rolling about a week in a half in I took it pretty easy though for like another week until i felt confident enough to roll with the big guys again... so depending on how u feel it's up to u
just out of curiosity how did it happen; Awkward thing with me is that I was doing focus mitts relatively light and them BAM!!! pain, for a moment i thought it was my balls but felt around and immediately i was like damn HERINAS
Are you perhaps confusing "a hernia" with a herniated disk?
