Alex thanks for posting as so inspirational. Myself just 65 with cervical spurs and nerve impringment, and spinal stenosis, also some fused cervical discs on own, and have had herniated disc, healed on own a few years back. But horrible lumbar back pain. Discs are narrowed badly. MRI today and seeing neurosurgeon and spine doc. I have been active all my life weight lifting not as heavy as you, also mostly machines not free weights, was a runner average 3miles I'd say. And Aerobic Dance Instructor and choreographer before nursing and ran til age 58. Now just the bike riding six miles only. After my consult on the 16th of May will see if he wants to do shaving of bone spurs in neck to release the impringed nerves. If so think weights possible again? Thanks Phillipa
