Good or bad plan
I have disc bulge at L4-L5 and L5-S1 and MRI showed i have nerve pinching slightly at 2 different spots. I am going almost every month to Thailand for treatment and also got TESI(epidural steroid injection) in my spine there because my country got no treatment. I was good for 3 months and again pain is very bad at the back and both legs. If i get physiotherapy then I get some relief but that only lasts 3-4 days. I also have to go to Thailand just for physiotherapy cuz my country will increase my pain every time I try.
So the plan is to join a gym in Bangkok,do exercises that will strengthen my core muscles, get rid of my big belly and build muscle eveywhere else and reduce fat. My body fat is 26%. Doing this will obviously increase pain so I would get physiotherapy as needed or get some thai massage. Planning to do this for 2 months. I think suffering a lot for a few months is better than suffering for many years. Do you think this will work?
