I havent't posted for a while. Last week I had severe back pain, and went to the doctor. He said I had a herniated disk in my upper back/neck. My first question, of course was when can I go back to swimming and biking. He said the disk could get better on it's own (until this morning it was).
Has anyone else had a herniated disk in their neck? How long were they down? The doc said I probably wouldn't need surgery.
And the biggie:
Does swimming help or hurt the condition? What about cycling?
I'm really bummed because I was supposed to do my first Alcatraz swim next week.
