Herniated Disc, Nerve Damage In Leg. Using Elliptical Trainer. Cause More Damage?
It has been 14 months since I had 2 herniated disc. I have nerve damage to my right leg. It is not really bad. I have started using an elyptical trainer. The problem is in my knee . Will this leg get stronger? I am up to 15 minutes which is not alot but I am afraid a may cause more damage. I am a 52 n female. Thank you for your time!

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
As you have got problem in your spinal vertebrae, do not go for any exercise or using any trainer without advise of orthopedic surgeon as it might give more damage to your vertebral column.
At this age there are all chances to have osteoporosis in your skelaten system.
So go for branded high dose of Calcium, vitamin D and A.
Go for slow walking, swimming and Quadriceps exercise.
Take more milk.
Ok and bye.
