This has come as a shock to me as I have lived a healthy life up until now.
Hope to be back on the bike sometime soon.
Till then ride safe & stay well.
Cheers,
Jd

Hi JD. I'm so sorry to hear about you back injury. We will be praying for wisdom for those treating you, and for strength, courage, patience and peace for you and Vera. Best Wishes Pete & Chris
Thanks Pete and Chris.

I reckon we've all just about had enough of 2024 and 2025 can't come fast enough.
Kind regards to you and Vera

Hope it sorts out.
I had really bad back pain after arriving home from Mansfield, scans showed a few issues that have, luckily, so far not required further intervention.

It was pretty much under control until March 2023 (I had my "off" on the Great Alpine Road), when the impact on the road upset the "under control" situation. It wasn't until earlier this year when I went under the knife and now only suffer some pretty mild, bearable pain (no drugs needed) as long as I limit other activities - no running or heavy lifting, no gardening or lawn mowing (that's what I told Helen), only short walks, etc..
Fortunately, I can ride the push bike and motorbikes. The push bike riding is actually therapeutic - it seems that leaning forward takes weight / pressure off the back and opens up the gap between the discs. The specialist has said that it's not surprising and encourages my pushbike riding.
Cheers, chin-up, there's light at the end of the tunnel, just find the tunnel.

They specialise in this area and have a vastly greater amount of knowledge that may give you an option outside of surgery.
Anyway I hope you are able to get some good options and find a good result.
All the best mate

.... a neurosurgeon .... who had recommended spinal surgery
.... seeing a physiotherapist on Monday and exploring all other options as I would like to avoid surgery as far as possible.
.... a Chiropractor?
Yes JD, plenty of options.
There's also TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) which I previously had some success with other ailments, not sure why I didn't try last year / earlier this year. My Dad, Jim Lamers RIP, pioneered TENS in Australia, internationally as well according to the article my sister posted on the company (ActivLife Technologies) website.

The company has now been wound-down, but a Google search will find many other TENS options out there.

Hi Jonathon, sorry about the news re. the bad back. I have complete empathy, sympathy and understanding as I have suffered from lower back pain for many years - sometimes okay, other times requiring some pretty heavy pain drugs - they're wonderful at the time, but can lead to some pretty awful unintended side effects and other long-term issues.
It was pretty much under control until March 2023 (I had my "off" on the Great Alpine Road), when the impact on the road upset the "under control" situation. It wasn't until earlier this year when I went under the knife and now only suffer some pretty mild, bearable pain (no drugs needed) as long as I limit other activities - no running or heavy lifting, no gardening or lawn mowing (that's what I told Helen), only short walks, etc..

That is horrible news brother, have you spoken to a Chiropractor?

Not good at all. It is not until you have had some back that you understand, so my thoughts are with you.
Given your resistance to surgery, and I fully agree, and that you are checking all options have you thought about seeing a chiropractor?

Thanks Glen, have been advised against chiropractic treatment at this stage as it may cause the condition to worsen.

That's no good mate. Hope it comes good asap for you.
Thanks Dave.

I find it funny that Chiropractors always get a bad rap from Doctor's & Physios, yet it's a Chiropractor that I always turn to when I have back issues...and so far they have always got me mobile again. :thumbs

Mine is neurological condition which could get worse with chiropractic manipulation is the information I gathered, but who knows 🙁.

That aside I would pray that you find the best course of action and the best medical people to help you.
Catch you soon.
