A while ago I was diagnosed with the beginning of a herniated disc and when I did the back strengthening exercises given, I felt the pain in my back increase. When I stopped exercising, the pain went away and now I only have a slight pain occasionally when I walk for a long time. What could be the reason?

It is quite common for a person with a herniated disc to feel mild pain during long walks. Since a herniated disc is usually a problem that occurs in the discs of the spine, activities such as exercises that strengthen the back can worsen this condition. In addition, the load on the spine can increase during long walks, which can trigger pain in the back.
However, since you have been diagnosed with a herniated disc, it is important to take into account your pain during long walks. This may be related to the progression of the herniated disc or the emergence of a different problem. Therefore, my suggestion is to limit the activities you are currently doing for a while and to consult a doctor or physiotherapist. Your specialist can better understand the cause of your pain by performing certain tests and examinations and can help you with treatment options.
