My disc problem caused probably from a gym accident while i was lifting some weight in an awkward posture. Any way, you are saying that you had some rest for a few months and now you are back to our global family?

Marcin and all, As far as i know, a ruptured disc can never really heal . If the inner disc stuff is spilled outside, than the disc is open and will be like that till the day i quit this place. The disc simply doesn't close. I see a few guys in my regional club doing jumps having the same problem. Thanks god, in the past two months the pain is seriously lower than it was and i am jumping once a week. I recommend doing swimming, stretching and walking. Still, the only thing that i am afraid of in skydiving is the canopy opening process. Do you know what the opening process does with the spine? Is the spine being stretched or compressed in the opening process??? If compressed (bad!) than what do you suggest to do in the process in order to get off as much pressure as I can from the lower back?

I carry this problem since the age of 17. Back than it was "only" buldge discs. Now i have ruptured in L5 S1 and buldginf in L4-5. I had a few days with pains around the external part of my right leg. But it got better and now my back is little hurting. I make a lot of swimmming.

Hi everybody, Unfortunately, i have a L5S1 ruptured disc and another problem, with less severity on L4-5. Is any of you doing this sport with these problems or knows anyone who does? What the DRs say? if it save anyhow? Thanks!

This is my first rig. Although that in my area the trend is to use only american equipment, i have done some research and bought this second hand three years old rig. It is very comfortable, easy to pack but the only thing difficult for a begginer like me is that the parachute bag is relatively small and this stage of the packing is a little bit harder to perform.
