I fell on my back numerous times as a child knocking the wind out of myself almost everytime, twice was on concrete and one of those times I knocked myself out cold hitting my head as well. Everytime I went to the doctor I was given xrays and CAT scans and was told I had no serious injuries just bruises. Recently I have had the worst pains in my back and neck. Could it be from falling as a kid even though I was told I had no injuries?

My dachshund Dexter has a slipped disc. He was on bed rest for a couple weeks and the past week or so I’ve been doing exercises with him in the bathtub. Anyway he is starting to walk. Before he would just drag his legs, now he puts his back legs up as normal but after a few steps they wobble like he is unsteady and usually he plops down, then gets back up. Is this normal? I’ve had to carry him to the grass a ways from my apartment because he’s still dragging a bit and on the concrete it hurts his skin.
Will he always be a bit wobbly like this? I hope it will get better..it will be probably not be completely gone but enough that he’s able to walk more easily..are there any other exercises I should do with him besides the bathtub to get his back legs strong again (ive noticed he has put on a bit of muscle). Should I encourage him to move as much as possible inside (on the carpet)? Thank you
yes Ive seen the vet twice (once right after he slipped the disc and the last time about 2 weeks ago)

I’m 15 years old and I suspect a herniated disc.
About 2 months ago, I started working out again. (I took a 6 month break.)
Anyways, I used to always run outside, but certain conditions made it impossible and I had to use a treadmill.
I started to notice lower back pain, but ignored it.
Now it gradually increases, I did my research and suspect a herniated disc.
I plan on seeing a doctor soon after I get insurance.
I play soccer for my school, and I really do need a full recovery.
Anyways, I’d like to know the fastest way to recover:
Light exercise,
No exercise, just rest (which seemed to have worked previously on lower back pain.)
Or any alternatives.
One more thing:
Why is it when I run on concrete I get no back pain, but on a treadmill I do get lower back pain, if the treadmill "cushions" inpact?
