Hello all! I went to the docs, and he said that I shouldnt have any limitation. I did three skydives this weekend and all were smooth as butter! No pain or tingling. Im very very pleased by this and I should have my A license in no time! Thank you all once again for your help and advice! -
Thanks everyone for your advice. I have an ortho appointment coming up so we'll see how that goes. -
Hello everyone, I'm extremely new to the sport, as in I started jumping this week! I've got four AFF jumps down. I've been wanting to skydive for years, but for a long time was unable to due to location. I'm very thrilled to finally be able start.
After my jumps, I noticed neck and back pain, as well as associated tingling and numbness. An MRI last year showed that I have two herniated discs in the neck and two more in the lower back. The MRI listed the herniations as either mild, slight, or small. The MRI was over a year ago, and I was told that discs naturally get worse over time. Plus, MRIs arnt 100% accurate, so I think maybe the status of the discs is worse than what was shown due to the significant symptoms at the time.
Light physical therapy and exercise over the last year has made things better. I currently work out regularly and kickbox with no symptoms.
I've read the existing posts about herniated discs, but Im trying to get as much information as I can on what I can do to safely skydive without worsening things. Any information on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
