In 2019, I had a herniated disc in my L3-L4. It pressed on the nerve in my spinal column, giving me the worst pain I'd ever had in my entire life. An L3-L4 herniation isn't one of the more common ones and I had a hard time finding much written about it, not to mention firsthand experience. Being the writer/blogger that I am, I documented my journey as best I could, in hopes that this might help someone else with this very painful issue. I've compiled my posts below, and if you are dealing with this and have any questions, I'm happy to share more - you can leave a comment below (please know comments are moderated once a post is 30 days old, but I will see it and respond) or email me at 40somethingsjourney@gmail.com.
