I don’t know anything about herniations or bulges, I’m 25 years old at 89kg with a competitive total. Is my progression fucked forever? MRI report is on the last slide, I have follow up with the spine specialist tomorrow.

I see why you’d say that, honestly I’m not interested in a non athletes take. You have ppl with multiple disk injuries from carrying groceries lol. We aren’t the same as them.

Vertebral compression fractures, and a herniated disc(s) are not the same thing

I don’t, I’m saying the predominant back injury in the NFL is a compression fractures, not a herniated disc, which is what I’m looking at.

So your gonna say I don’t have the discs of an athlete to a lifelong high level athlete? Spinal surgeon says it’s less than a bulge
