In Response To: Bulging disc questions (Jim Cav)

My first "bulging disc" diagnosis was when I was in high school. Earned while pole vaulting while the school had no pit. Yes, I know.

The problem plagued me somewhat throughout my career but as long as you regularly do your exercises, keep you psoas and abs strong and continue to stretch it is manageable.

Cortisone will bring down the inflammation but that comes with a cost. I would save those unless you have the nationals or better in a few weeks.

BTW, 90% of American males have some sort of lower back problem.

Train smart and you should be fine. Find a good chiropractor or physical therapist, they'll be able to teach you how to manage it.
