He's an elite athlete with the best medical care on earth, and nothing to do but rehab and rest. It's a fair assumption that your experience means nothing.

No disrespect intended, but I strongly disagree. Bottom line is he weighs more than 325lbs. My back discs, and yours, (and ANY HUMANS) are not genetically structured to carry that much weight. In fact, his discs are no stronger than yours or mine yet he carries much more weight. Weight, and being able to support it, is a huge factor in the recovery of a disc injury. Ask ANY back Dr. It's not so much my experience, as it is dealing with the medial facts of a herniated disc injury that make my statement a very fair assumption.
