first injured a disc about 8 years ago, had to have surgery. recovered ok and after a couple years got back to training. Was doing good until end of 2005, when i did the disc above it. Since then its been rehab until good, ok for a while, injury, back to square 1. Gets worse each time. Doctors have told me i cant kick or knee or grapple any more - which fits, cause every re-injury has been the result of trying to use my legs. So boxing only. Just starting to be able to do some of that again now after this last injury. Cant run or do weights or really do anything much. Shadow boxing, swimming, and just started to be able to do some bag work and pads again recently (plus all the rehab stuff). They reckon scar tissue is mostly to blame, its in my nerve canal. Both discs have degenerative changes. You had any problems with that?

I can relate, I've had 3 back ops and they were all injuries sustained by heavy weight lifting - lammy, lumbar fusion, & double discectomy, discs came out in pieces - pretty nasty...I was an avid golfer, I can't lift or golf anymore - go conservative in your approach, nothing too radical...wish you the best.

your groin pain could be a sports hernia. I have the same thing I think. Only way to fix it is surgery =(

that sounds fucked up if true, but honestly i don´t think it´s that bad, just 3 days ago it felt preety much when doing bw squats.
now i dont feel it at all, hopefully i can squat again soon,

and also i only feel it when doing wide stance squat, narrow stance was never a problem.
