Yep, sure did. I know, it's embarassing. I first blew a disc about 10 years ago. So I had that in the back of my mind and didn't want to do it again. And a year ago, I didn't know the pituitary gland was shutting down, which means less
HGH, and T production, which equals being weaker and more susceptible to injury.
Something I noticed that may be useful to know. The discs in your back weaken with age. The are filled with a jelly type substance and they basically dry up as you get older. There is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it either. When you herniate or buldge a disc, the jelly squeezes out of the disc against the nerves in your spine (sciatica for example). When I took Nitrix especially, but creatine or anything similar, it made the pain less. I believe this would accelerate recovery, if you rest and do not put any weight / load on the spine. I have to mention I'm not a doctor. All I can say is I noticed a significant difference, for the better, when I took these supps. I believe the reason is due to the saturation of the body cells with water. Therefore reversing the drying up of the jelly like substance in the disc.
