I have both a protrusion (bulging disc) and an extrusion (ruptured disc). After two hours with the neurologist my understanding is that the extruded disc needs to be “metabolized” - it needs to go away. Exercise and healthy lifestyle helps with that. Doctor also mentioned enzyme supplements, though she said it was her opinion. As for the herniated one - exercise, taking care of your back (“healthier” sitting, changing positions, correct sleeping position etc…). Surgery should be considered as a last resort (they might have to break part of the vertebrae to get to the disc). To surprise of nobody, these recommendations help me feel better.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
