So no shiz there I was, In afghanistan...

So no shit there I was, In afghanistan, sitting on RTO minding my own business when the LT asks me to come check out his printer's connectivity issues. I go to take a look, and as soon as I lean over to look at the cat5 cable, I get a shooting pain in my back. My right nut feels weird and my right leg starts hurting and gets weak. I go to the aid station and get told that I probably have a herniated disc... and kindly handed a bag of ibuprofen. How the heck does a 21 year old get a herniated disc?!

Stop bending over for other men!

OUCH! Sorry man, that really sucks. I wish you the quickest recovery possible.

Ranger Up!

[josh7328]

So I think the consensus here is to stop bending over the mean rangers???

[sniper7]

You should have tazed the printer and told him it connected just fine!


hope you recover quickly. Never had that happen before so I'm not really sure how long it takes to fix it up

Sucks man.
I remember carrying all the crap we had to and was amazed I didn't slip a disc or something.
Are they gonna pull you back to the rear for a while?
Heal well Bro!

Sorry to hear about your condition. There is no cure for a blown disc. Only a life of pain, or surgery are your options.
The possible risks of surgery are scary.
Now a bulged disc is a different story, full recovery is very possible.

I am 23 and have 4 degenerating discs in the lower back. Its not too too bad, the only way it really affects me is when I deadlift or squat.

Wait until you are my age with that condition, then let me know how you feel.
