jvln··on Ask HN: What did you do to recover after a herniated spinal disc?
Running (I started when I felt absolutely well). It increased my core strength. I spend 5-6 hours running every week. And to reach that point took me approx. 3-4 years. On a way I have found a physiotherapist who consults me on every injury I experience on the way. After getting into the shape I have not experienced any setbacks.

To start running I have invested a lot of time into my core strength and muscle stretches.

There is no silver bullet. If you want to have a free pain life you have to invest into your health at least 1h per day in a form of exercises. It must become your life style. Very few people do that.
