Hi. I found this site and after reading some posts i decided to ask something. I hope you could help me.
Im 20 years old and always wanted to do martial arts, but because school and other things i never had the chance. And two years ago i found out that i have a genetical disease that is ''breaking'' my spine little by little.
Right now i have 3 lumbar hernias. The doctors said that i have to exercise the muscles on my back and so on.
What catch my attention is that one of the doctors said that a some martial fighters have hernias but dont feel pain because of the training.
First - I can't go back to that doctor i said, to ask if i could do martial arts because is very far from where i live and i don't have more time to do that. (I'm from Brazil, but i'm studing Medicine in Argentina.)
Second - Well there is nobody that i can ask this in a 500 km radius so your help it's appreciated.
Well that's it. Thank you for your time. Sorry for any mistakes that difficults reading this.
PS: The disease its very similar with Degenerative Disc Disease and i have Spinal Stenosis too.
