I managed to herniate one of my lumbar discs, though I have absolutely no idea how. Last weekend was one of relaxation with my family, I just lounged around and enjoyed the company of my kids. Monday morning, I awake in severe pain. Go figure.
Does anyone have any personal experience with this -- specifically, how long they had to wait it out before hitting the trails once again? I understand I may have to sit out for November, but what about December..? Alex is looking forward to winter hiking again...I hope this doesn't take longer than a month or two to sufficiently heal for that kind of activity.
I have a good doctor, who refuses to give me any timeframe at all as to when I can get back out there, just says to give it a couple of weeks and then we'll assess the long-term situation. Being an extremely impatient person, I'd like it much better if someone could just tell me, the exact date as to when I can resume hiking.
