Spinal Research Ambassador

Hi I’m Aysha. I’m 25 and I’ve had issues with my back since 2012 when I was 13, and in 2019 I had to have surgery because the discs between L4 and L5 were squishing the nerves to my legs causing me pain for many years. After having the operation to move the nerves, I no longer have the pain in my legs. Although I still have the discs protruding, I’m not in the pain I was. I do still sometimes get pain in my lower back but as long as I keep up with my exercises that the physiotherapist gave me I shouldn’t need surgery again. I would like to help others with similar issues regarding the spine as I can sympathise with them in a way that might help them.
