Herniated Disc (Bulging Disc)

Audrey Rodriguez

I came to see Dr. Wyss in February 2016 for an injury that occurred while I was training for a Spartan race in April. My wish this year was to finish a Trifecta for Spartan races. Once Dr. Wyss reviewed the MRI he saw that I had a herniated S1-S2 disc that was causing painful neuropathy down my right leg. It was a disappointment to know that I could not do the April race but Dr. Wyss said let's shoot for the June race. With his guidance and with the help of my Physical Therapist I was able to complete the first Spartan for the Trifecta on June 18. Boy was it hard, but with determination and patience I was able to get through it. Thank you Dr. Wyss for helping me reach one of my goals for the year and getting me back to racing.
