i hurt my back about 5 months ago. i went to the doctor and got an mri and it shows i only have a very slight bulge in lower back, right above the butt.. every doctor i go to tell me it wont stop me from wrestling and nothing is "structurally" wrong with my back and just to rest it for a few days.
ive rested it, done physical therapy and even started acupuncture but nothing has worked.
to be clear it doesnt affect my daily life. i can walk, run, carry the laundry basket, and do most weight lifting.
but i cant wrestle. after 5 mins of live wrestling it starts to hurt. then i'll attempt a takedown and it like spazes and i cant walk, i can barely stand on my own and i cant bend over.. this also occurs if i do sets of deadlifts back squats, power cleans or lunges
im sick of hearing these doctors tell me nothing is seriously wrong with my back. i may not be cripple but im only 18 and i cant wrestle and i cant workout like i used to. if its not that serious why isnt it getting better. is there anything i can do that could help me. like exercises or anything. cause these doctors are not helping
