Alex when I lifted weights the machines before moved up here and you know where here is I know. Thing is didn't have the back pain then. As for them not wanting you for a doc they missed a prize jewel for sure.
The bike riding is what's known as beach bike so no leaning over sit straight up. But yes it does hurt after riding but worse after walking and that is slow not fast. As for the surgeon per his PA and website seems that it's PT and excercise that's encouraged. Pain meds are a no no here. I did ask about the nerve impringement told in neck usuall left side free the bundles of nerves and shave bone spurs. MRI was only cervical which surprised me as pain lumbar. But after surgery l day usual in hospital. Then the PA said some do walk at home the next day so doesn't seem like a long recovery period. Well will be two weeks til see the neurosurgeon. Running also used to be my drug what a high!!!! Walking never did the same for me. Biking at least a feeling of freedom.
But I don't understand how surgery is possible with osteoporosis also and history of herniated L4-5? Healed on own. You are simply marvelous and I will now watch the new videos. After l0der said you rewatched and recognized you right away. Look marvelous!!!!! Love Phillipa
