I also had hernial disc a few years ago. Was not able to drive, work at the office...not to mention i had to give up hiking. The RMN (MRI i think in english) showed a small buldge on the L5/L6 and i had pain down my left leg. Doctor said its because i sit to much at the computer and my back muscles dont do their job. Did psysio for a couple of weeks and after that i started doing sports (weight lifting and all kind of exercises to strengthen my back muscles). I still do the exercises 2 times / week, but now i can work at the office, hike, run....even carry 20kg backpack...
