I am a 17 year old male. I play hockey a lot and also work out and am very active. In October I herniated two discs in my back, at L5-S1 and L4-L5. I have had bad left leg pain since, (sciatica.) I did over 6 weeks of physical therapy and saw no results.I also did about 4 sessions of spinal decompression and have taken many NSAID's and still have no results. I have also rested for a long period of time.My doctor recommeneded surgery,(microdisectomy) or injections. My parents are trying to find a conservative route. Does anyone have experiece with this or have advice? Anything help is appreciated, thank you

Did I hurt my achilles tendon?
Yeah I am a bad runner. I never stretch before running and I usually run on mountain trails everyday for 30 minutes. However, about a week ago I had some extra time so I ran for an hour and a half (mountain trails)two days in a row.well now, close to 6 days later, my achilles tendon is sore when I push off on my toes. I've read a little bit and I think I have early tendinitis? So should I see a doctor or what?
Cut my fingertip, what should i do?
I cut my fingertip where your finger print is. A small chuck is still attached just kind of peeling. It was bleeding a little bit but putting pressure on it made it go away. Feels fine now but what do you think i should do?
My knee hurts and I dont know why! Doctors/Nurses please answer this!?
So I'm 15 (if it matters) and awhile ago I noticted that its sore in my lower left knee. I have know I idea how this happend but I'm really worried. My mom said it looked a little swolen. Is this knee cancer? No one in my family has ever had any time of cancer though. Please I need answers I'm really worried!
My Back Hurts a lot??????????
As long as I can remember it hurt. I haven't fallen or anything to injure it. Back in fourth grade I used to carry a heavy text book in my bag and I think that was what destroyed it! My book bag doesn't weigh much at all now and I don't slouch as much as I used to. I did go to the doctors and I got and x -ray. They said everything was fine but it may be a muscle problem. I always have to crack my back or lay on the floor. And either way, it hurts. What can I do? I'm only 14 by the way and in the 9th grade and it's very uncomfortable for me to sit with my back straight sometimes while in class. It's my lower back the most and a little bit around the middle and top. Can anyone please help? Thank you.
