L4/L5 hernited disc and degeneration

[crazycrow]

I have L4/L5 herniated disc, confirmed by MRI, physios were convinced I would need surgery but lost a bit of weight, had acupuncture and now just live with it as pain intermittent. I have recently restarted horse riding and my right leg is noticably weaker,(i still have semi-numb big toe) but the biggest problem is when getting off the horse I seem to lose all use of my legs and I collapse. It looks quite funny to watch apparently but it hurts and cant be doing my back any good Can anyone suggest what I should do for my silly leg now, and am I making the situationn worse by riding?
