Herniated nucleus pulposus (slipped disc)

Went to the doctor this morning and he read me the results of my MRI -- slipped disc. This could take up to six months to heal, maybe less with the correct core exercises and some luck. I have have nerve root compression. Only time will tell how the numbness in my foot and ankle will be once the gel substance that oozed out of my disc shrinks and stops irritating the nerve. My doc asked if I wanted to do the steroid injection to speed up reducing the inflammation which I think I'll do. I also want to talk to my physical therapist about what direction to take. Overall I am feeling better and the majority of pain is really in the middle of the night when my sciatica flares up. Other than that I can't walk correctly but my walk has improved quite a bit. Looks like I need to take it easy now for a while. Of course having a child doesn't give me too much down time.
