Spinal injury... & sex?

[Clo88]

Hi, one year ago one of my thrasic discs prolapsed, this was left untreated fir a year. During this time I maintained a very physical job and now have massive compression on my lower back. I hav been seeing a physio for over a month now and my lower back is regressing if anything, zero signs of recovery. My physio done direct work to my spine the other day and I honestly cud not believ how much pain is on my spine (I do feel pain across my lowe area in life but I really did not realise the state my spine was in).

Now I know this shud probably feel like the least of my problems haha but wen my back is sore I don't want to hav sex, but at the same time I want to please my boyfriend. After feeling the state my spine is in and after having a week where I hav barely been able to walk sex is the last thing I want to do. I hav no idea how long my spine is going to b in this state for and I don't want to have a relationship that gets worse n worse because I cant physically satisfy my boyfriend. He is truely lovely and wud do anything for me but I don't want to make him unhappy over time, or on my part please him and make my spine worse.

I honestly think being single wud b the best thing for me right now but am getting confused coz I care about him and don't want to hurt him.

Has anyone got advise? Or if u were me wat do u think u wud do?

Thanks x

Have you seen a Spine Surgeon to have everything evaluated?

I've had a ton of lurabar spine pain for a year and intimacy is minimal but hubby is fine with that as he knows all the pain I've been going through would ruin the moment.
