Spondylosis and 2 herniated discs, 22 years old
Hello. I have managed to destroy my lower back by squatting and deadlifting. I am a 22 year old male, 6’3, ~ 215 lbs. Squats and deadlifts hurt, and I have some pain in my lower back all the time. My physical therapist says that I was most likely born with the spondylosis, and that the herniated discs were caused by too much lifting (I had my form checked several times) and the spondylosis. This happened about 6 months ago.
I was wondering if I am fucked for the rest of my life, in terms of lifting and life quality in general. I was planning on doing sports in the future, will I be able to do this? Tennis mainly. Will the discs heal so that I won’t notice it? Also, I saw on Google that spondylosis can get very bad with time itself?? Am I fucked?
