Hi, My mri report stated that my L4/L5 Generalise Disc bulge indents the anterior epidural space. Ligamentum Flavum buckling associated with bilateral facet joint effusions. Mild narrowing of both lateral recesses. Exit foramina and central Canal are patent. No displacement, no fracture, no dislocation. Apart from swimming, May I know if there s any exercises I can do to strengthen and recover? Am I able to use weights like dumbbell? Thank you.
Hello, Weights don't help in your case, instead excessive weight may worsen your condition. Exercises may help and one type of approved exercises for low back pain and herniated disc disease are the McKenzie exercises. Physical therapy also may be of benefit. Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
