Hello guys,
I am 23 years old from Greece.It all started five years ago, I was having discomfort at the right lat area and the upperback and when i was taken a deep breathe i would here clicking and poping (like when you push the joints of your fingers) .I lived 4 years with these discomfort and i was training (sprinting,football etc. and some body weight exercises).Last year i started strength training but i was afraid of this discomfort and went to the doctor.He said to me that i need some stretches because i have kyphotic posture (i am a physic’s student and i sit a lot ).I didnt followed his plan exactly but the fear of some serious problem went away.Last month , I saw your podcast for injuries and the fear came back.So i went to another doctor and got an MRI which showed a bulging disk T6-T7 and a small hernia Τ7-Τ8.The doctor told me not to worrie but he gave me no plan.Only some physical therapies and pilates and he told me to moderate strength trainning for a little while.Those five years the discomfort is the same but now my mind is driving me crazy and I am in a very bad mood all day because i dont want this injury to stop me from training.Do you have any advice?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english.
