I have degenerative disc disease I’ve had for five years approximately in my lower back as well as my neck and I then got a bulge in my lower disc, then my neck i’ve been on medication for that however the weekend after Thanksgiving I was sick for a month a little over a month actually and once I got to the doctor I was in such severe pain in my back and was told by my Dr that I blew my disc, shortly after that the same thing happened in my neck! I’ve got quite a few questions however the one I cannot understand is being told and reading that walking is supposed to help, therefore my main question is does anyone know why walking actually hurts more and puts me down? My name is Shannon and I came across this website, glad I did because it seems the people on here are helpful considerate and supportive which motivated me to install the app for answers, people to talk to and information. I would appreciate anyone who knows the answer as to why walking makes the pain worse. Thank you 😊
