Schmorl's nodes

2018-09-01 02:09:25
I am diagnosed with schmorl's nodes in L2/3, L3/4, L4/5 vertebra. I experience pain while bending down only after I get up from supine position for longer time, which lasts for only 10-15 seconds. Basically I experience stiffness. HLA-B27 is negative. during whole day there is no pain in bending. I am doing some core exercises too. Can I join gym in this condition

Schmorl's nodes are seen due to wear and tear in the vertebrae. Those could be the trigger for your back pain. Continue with core strengthening exercises. Your can start gym, but start small and slowly build it up. If some workouts make pain worse, avoid doing them

Yes. But don’t lift very heavy weights. Do light weights with high reps. Don’t do deadlifts or “good mornings”
