Im doing ok, I put up with it for years get it diagnosed if its a disc height issue get it replaced where possible, once you let it go and atrophy happens it will never totally recover, best example I could use would be Ronnie, im 5 year post op and Im 80% on my right to my left. It was the end of lifting and training as I knew it but I evolved and whilst I cant ever put on size again, Im past that point anyway.
