Could my low E2 (~10.0) have caused my herniated disc?

[JCUSN]

At only 34, I’ve somehow herniated a disc in my cervical spine. This hasn’t happened before, until I stopped TRT and I’ve been doing an unsuccessful restart. Total T at 225, E2 at 10.0.

Is this low E2 low enough to cause bad inflammation or loss of cartilage to the point one will slip a disc? It has only been a little over a month that I’ve had these low values.

Doubt it, before I started trt my estrogen levels were unreadable. I've never had any back issues except for a broken pelvis. The broken pelvis was caused when I fell from a high height when I was a bricklayer.

Im 100% sure, no.

I don't believe you will find the cause associated to low E2.
