I herniated two disks this season. I let my back hurt for about 3 months before finally getting it looked at, which was a really bad idea in retrospect... Don't ski until it's healed! Commit to physical therapy, get sports massages, and do pilates - seriously, it really helps. Do lots of core and back muscle stretches and strengthening exercises. I haven't skied since I found out about it, but I'm told that I'll be perfectly fine by next season.

Thanks man, i did the same thing as you i hurt it the last day of the season here in jersey and then let it go and played hockey for 2 months and now it got 100x worse then it originally was. thats good news that you should be better by next season. I hope mine can heal that fast since im moving ot colorado in the fall. Thanks for the advice again
