After a herniated disc threw my health into jeopardy, I learned how good they can beIn 2019, I was cycling to work, training at a boxing gym, playing basketball and doing yoga (not all at the same time). Then, one day, I picked up a box. It was bulky but not particularly heavy. I felt a twinge in my back, but thought nothing of it. I played basketball that evening and went to bed as normal.In the morning, I couldn’t get up. The pain when I tried was so intense, I was sobbing.
