Turns out my entire lumbar spine has slight bulged disc. Got the mri results,Dr said maybe take up another sport. Screw that I need to stop crashing is what I need to do. My back doesn't even really bother me. Life I chose,I also have a seperated shoulder. If it gets worse then I'll get surgery but no point quitting now. I'm 30 and the Dr said my spine looks like what she would see in a 50 year old,I'm 30.
Just bustin' your balls. It's all about how you feel, if it doesn't bother you, carry on. I'm not 30 yet, but feel minor aches and pains creeping up occasionally. Mostly when I've been somewhat inactive, like during the winter. Keeping my body moving tends to make them go away.
if its a bulged disc and not dried out,get to chiropractor with mri and go once a week indefinitely.
I go once a week for life.and that's after 2 discs removed.

If you are 30yrs old and just starting out and having these many problems with your health and the sport in general......maybe you picked the wrong sport to " Participate in " ? Following the sport until you're old or dead is one thing......almost everyone here does that. But not everyone here rides and punishes themselves to the point of damaging themselves so badly it will hurt the rest of their lives.
I don't mean to sound rude.....but you come in as an over caffeinated kid going all hogwild on the sport to the point that you're gonna kill yourself.....or just fuck yourself up. You say " MX is your life "..........don't you have a wife and kid? Maybe think about them before you go out and screw your back up beyond repair.
Like MacBookMafia and quadzrulebro say, I'd try yoga or a heavy dose of stretching every day at a bare minimum and ask your chiro or doc about what core exercises you can do. A good core can help a bad back.
Lastly, you could always try a different form of riding. My back used to hurt a lot when I rode motocross but since I've been riding hare scrambles/ cross country, it seems a little better.
It's not as bad as you think.
Pit Row
Every company I worked for knew of my 2 wheel hobby and I'm thankful I never had any compensation claims as I would bet we could of battled over origin.
Today I'm on Enbrel as the antiflamatories have worked over my kidneys and I needed off... my AS is stable and the fear I had of not being able to look up from my shoe strings when I'd be this age has passed, its a blessing. I believe moto has helped.
