IS it ok to Run when you have Herniated Disc?

Question

What should i do?

I have Herniated DIsc and kept worrying about the Herniated Disc which will worsten the condition after Running

Answer 1

Well the whole point of your disk is to provide shock absorption. The shock your body endures through running isn't exactly light. A herniated disc is caused by small tears to the fibrocartilage in your intervertebral disks. I can't see how running would be ok. Taking all of this into consideration  I would say take up a lower impact sport like running or biking.

Answer 2

maybe you should talk to your doctor, I am sure he will give you a better answer than you can get from here, since we are just guessing about your condition.

Answer 3

I can't imagine the pain if running.  I had the same thing years ago, and just walking caused severe pain.
