This past season's end I suffered a herniated disc in my lower spine. (L4-L5). For those of you who have been through this should I anticipate being in OK shape this coming HS season, or should I consider sitting out a year?

I have had one for close to 30 years. Most times I have NO problems and other times I have been confined to the floor.

Each person's herniated disk, depending on its severity is different. My niece had surgery after spending a good deal of time on the floor and is fine.

Mine flares up now and then, and only once could I not do a double header because of it flaring up during a game. But there were times I just couldn't work at all. Then I could do about 50 games with no problems????????

Good Luck
