[|Human|] Is it ok to have sex, whilst I have a slipped disc lower back and a herniated disc in the neck. Left leg is affected by sciatica, and left leg swollen & sore, as is left arm. Help please, sex is s good thing for me and I m hoping a recommended activity. Thank you for your time, Lisa.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in to us. It is important to know how bad is your slip disc and the pain you are having. Slip disc is the displacement of cushion like discs between the bones in lower back. These cause pressure over nerves and there is pain and muscle spasm. Sexual intercourse is a fundamental human activity and also causes people to feel better. You might participate in sex that is slow and gentle and place a pillow under the lower back to support it. Please have a communication with your partner and have sex in a position that is comfortable to you. Sex is definitely recommended as a slow exercise. Please do not worry.
