I have 2 bulged out lower back disks,On a treadmill 5 days I'm doing 1 Hr @4.5kn Is this good for me? ?

Question

Yes, doctor and physiotherapist suggested to go on the treadmill.I am very scared. I cannot swim,

I miss my excersize.

Answer 1

I do not believe that a treadmill can be good for you at all.  Non weight bearing activity would be better.  Swimming as suggested by BlaineF is best.

What advice has your doctor given you, I cannot believe he/she suggested a treadmill, gentle walking yes but treadmill no and also what of the trainer at the gym - are they aware of your problem, if not they can give you good advice.

Answer 2

No take up swimming. Stay off of bikes also. Same problem and gonna need surgery soon. It sucks out loud.

Answer 3

You do not state your age, younger you are the better chance of the disc repairing itself. Likewise you do not state the Discs, L or S?

As for not being able to swim, try Aqua Jogging, you do not need to swim for this. Best of Luck
