first, i would like to thank everyone who responds. i am a 18 yr old with a l5 s1 heniated disk i started having low back pain extending down my leg to my knee about 8 weeks ago i had an mri 2 weeks ago and that is when i found out about the herniated disk. my doctor is sending me to a nurosurgeon but my app. is a month away i have the pain everyday but sometimes only for a few minutes sometimes all day and night. my dotor said almost everytime this corrects itself between 3-6 weeks, but i hear of all these stories where surgery has to be done etc. i was wondering if someone can explain this to me better b/c i really have no idea what it even is and tell me some things i should avoid doing to make it worse and things i should do to make it better. thanks again, danielle
