This happened to me too, except my L5/S1 disc is permanently bulged now. If I don't keep my core strong, and my hips and thighs flexible, I get debilitating sciatic pain down my right leg.

Stay in shape lads! Stay strong, but don't lift hard. Stay flexible, but don't stretch too far. Get some cardio, but low impact.

If only they taught us in school how to take care of our bodies, our feelings, our minds, our relationships, our communities and our environment.... sadlolz

I cannot agree more. I went a bit mental last year, debilitating anxiety, and did a course on how to manage it. At the same time my eldest kid was starting Big School and suffering exactly the same thing, so I spent my time teaching him the things I was learning.

They're much better in schools (at least in the UK) now with mental health, he had daily check ins with the mental health first aider or some such, which I really appreciated because there was fuck all like that in my day, when men were men and everyone had Polio (I jest)
