Hi ,,,i am 23 yrs old,,and have a herniated disc at l4/l5 and l5/s1 since last 2 yrs.?
pain was alright but i got a weird feeling that my right leg is longer than the other which makes my body structure bit tilted,,,is it becoz of my herniated disc…any suggestions for any exercise or something…

I’ve herniated L5/S1. The pain in your leg is the result of sciatica. The ruptured disc presses against a nerve that controls some of the feeling in your leg. I have found that core strengthening exercises and stretching greatly helped my sciatica. Abdominal crunches and hamstring stretches helped alot. It’s important to be consistent though. Building these core muscles help to stabilize your back and torso which prevents the discs from further rupturing.
