You can walk to the cab and into docs at the other end

I can definitely recommend the support belt, I have one similar to this, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fitness-Gear-Medium-support-lumbar/dp/B007Q01Z4M/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1384720101&sr=8-6&keywords=lumbar+support+belts, and I add sponge padding to act on the required disc area.

If it is minor, it will go back on its own - apply cold NOT heat as you want to reduce inflammation.

Best idea is to go to a Chiropractor or if that is not an option a Physio - Physio will massage only, Chiropractor will manipulate when it is safe to do.

If you do any exercise that causes pain - STOP!

Are you sure? Ive had quite a few slipped disks.....the physio i used to visit used to pop the disk back in, after applying heat to the area and was bloody painful when he did it.

Since then ive used an Osteopath who just massages after applying heat.

Now i use my own method....go see Dr, who will quite happily prescribe 'industrial strength' painkillers (5x the strength, that you can buy over the counter, co-codamol's) and pop the pills until it goes away.

I slipped a disk a week last wednesday and it was pressing on my sciatic nerve, which meant a shooting pain in my left leg and was impossible to press the clutch without much pain and used to limp about when walking. But 4 painkillers a day made it possible to keep working 
Today, however i think im on the way to mending, the pain in my leg is less and is nearer the bottom of my leg now (always a good sign  ) and i havent taken any painkillers either and have been out in the car without much discomfort 

My Docs advise was take the painkillers to move about in less pain, but keep moving about.
The 'old' advice of lying still on your back is now incorrect, as this can lead to DVT's 

HTH......but go see your doc and get some painkillers 

Yep, I'm sure... my brother is a Chiropractor.  But of course there are some that will do more than the job spec as it were.  My Physio was at great pains to inform me that I could not expect manipulation, that is not how they work.  but I have heard that some do.  Osteopaths are not Doctors, or for that matter regulated, so you are relying on luck that you will get a good and properly trained one.

Ah righto, stand corrected  The one i visited must go the extra ( he's actually the one the football club use) . I knew osteopaths arent regulated, but he was recommended to me 

But I use my method now, painkillers and wait to see if it gets better on its own......which this time its seems to be
