Haven't hit the weights in one month

[Tedim]

Recovery is daunting....

Never had to deal with an injury this serious before....very heartbreaking to lose all the gains took so long to achive.....

Worst is the fear of re-injury and having to start all over.

Has anyone here who experienced any muscle memory when getting back into the weights?

[Rhomboids]

Found a really good sports medicine guy downtown.  The MRI showed that i have two herniated discs in my lower back.  We're gonna hit it with PE and if that doesn't work a cortizone shot and hopefully that takes care of it. 

Still haven't hit the weights but somehow don't feel the itch to get back.  Will start doing pushups at home for conditioning so i don't feel like complete shit when i go back to the gym. 

I actually fucked up my back when i was a teenager.  Never got it looked at and since then i've had sciatic problems.  But the discs were messed up some 18yrs ago.

My sciatic nerve has had me fucked.  When it starts feeling better I fuck it up somehow and I'm back to limping and unable to walk straight.  I'm seeing a sports medicine dude next week though.

I don't feel particularly out if shape or small, but I think a month is the limit for me to maintain a semblance of shape.  Went to the beach today and got above average looks but not like when I'm training normally.  Some days I feel almost pumped, like if my body was getting a shot of testosterone to compensate for lack of training. 

I was looking forward to hitting the weights really hard this summer but this shit came out of nowhere and won't leave.  I can't even do push-ups as that makes me arch my back slightly and that pinges on my nerve. 

Just thought it interesting that I haven't fallen completely apart
T after a month of inactivity.  What's the longest you getbiggers have gone without hitting the iron?

Rhomboids-
I have dealt with the same issue a few years back...I wont tell you what I went through, but I will tell you this-I bought an inversion board( Teeter Hangup), and have never had a problem with my sciatica since the day I first used it...
Try it before going to sports doctors, chiros, etc...

Yes, but the first week back is hard, regardless.

You most likely need a much longer layoff... more like 3-6 months.  When you go back, you'll be weak, but you'll be fresh and all healed.
