I have a herniated L4-5. 3 different back surgeons think I can heal it with PT. My plan is to do the PT, run TB500 and BPC157 for 3-4 months, do deep tissue massage, and see a chiropractor. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Welcome to a lifelong struggle brother. Try not to kill yourself. Move somewhere where theres no winter, sit hunched over and just try to survive. I just tell myself god has a plan for me.

KIll yourself.

Sadly, it's never coming back.

Drop the chiro. At best it will do nothing for you, at worst it will fuck your shit up even further.

so much stuff on youtube man
it's not a big deal
I had suffered terribly and couldn't even stand or sit without extreme pain like 4 years ago
pretty good now, get a lil relapse here and there if I'm being dumb
just learn as much as you can and have a positive mind set, be patient and don't push yourself too hard
don't get surgery
prolotherapy really helped me too

Absolutely. My back was injured by a chiro. They only exist to placate people while they heal naturally, so that the insurance companies don't have to fork out big dough for actual doctors to everyone who gets into a car accident.

Go to a physical therapist.

I've had 4. I'm still alive and kicking.
Just ride it out.

I used to heal these in 2 days. First injury took like 2 weeks though and boy it's a fucking struggle, can't even crawl out of bed. The formula is

>drink water
>take ibuprofen
>gentle yoga stretches
Cobra pose is the most helpful, cat cows but mostly the cat pose, and leg lifts. I've had at least 18 re-inuries so trust me even if these sound stupid, I'd be back up in 1-2 days and can still get it healed in 1-2 days if it re-snaps. As someone has already said you're now in a lifelong struggle against re-injuring yourself and you will pop your back out from time to time even just from doing minor bullshit like standing up too fast or at an awkward angle. I don't advocate deadlifts for anyone, it was a stupid lift dumb millenials got shilled into doing and we all fucked our shit up and suffer from glass backs. I recommend you find a gym with a belt squat machine and stay away from barbell training except for bench press from now on.
