Flying with a herniated disk?

My mom just found out that she might have a herniated disk and she has nonrefundable tickets to hawii for a wedding. Will it cause more problems for her if she flies with it

Flying is not a problem. But the problem lies with her movement of the back and the stress to the back If it is more it will give her pain, and restriction of movements. You have not mentioned how long she is having this problem ? You said that she might have a herniated disk . It might be Myalgia also ,Better consult the doctor.

many people with herniated discs are able to engage in all most all activities. However, some have intense pain which can inhibit activity when they initially develope the herniation.
Some might find that sitting makes them worse, others might find other postures make their pain worse.
If your mother is not bothered by sitting, the flight should not pose a problem.
If,however, sitting bothers her, I would recommend using medications as prescribed by her doctor and standing and walking often while on the flight.
