I Have been pretty healhty most of my life and I have been
in love with martial arts since i was 5

now i'm 27 about a year ago i had a car accident
and now I have 3 herniated disc ,, it is minimal damage
but still enough to give me great pain and i had to quit my last job. at the same time
I want to keep training martial arts it's all i care about
in this world even more so than a wife and family ,, so my question is?

1. Does anyone else have herniated disc in this forum and if so
how does it affect your training.

2. Also are you forced to only train Southern systems only
because of the higher stances Hence less back strain

3.Will dit da jow reliev pain during practice

Theese problems are really plagueing me

Thank you for all replies

go see a doctor and get his opinion. i would rest it up man. if you never rested the injury it could get worse. my dad had failed back surgery and he has been in chronic pain for 3 years now. i dont want to see that happen to anyone else.
