Out of Action
« on: October 19, 2013, 05:29:24 pm »
Well I'm going in for surgery on Tuesday . Lower back has 4 ruptured discs, neck has 1. That's in addition to the 3 I had done in my neck already. You gentlemen enjoy the rest of the riding season. I'll be reading about them on the forum. It suck's getting old.






Thanks Guys, Bob

Good luck! Thought I was bad, only have one ruptured, I'm going in in three weeks. Look on the bright side, you will be better after the surgery than you have been in years!!!

How does it feel a month after surgery...hopefully the procedure will improve your mobility. I has my surgery 10 days ago and I can't believe the amount of pain I'm in.  I'm a little bit better every day so that's good.

Please give me good news!

Ouch. The L1 in my back ruptured in 2007. Scary as hell, one day I discovered I was limping and had almost no strength in my left leg. Fortunately a cortizone shot and 6 months physical therapy was all I needed.

The doctor said no lifting, bending, or twisting for six weeks. That's hard to do! I was able to get out for a few says of hunting. Just sat in my treestand for a few hours. Son did everything for me. It's so relaxing just sitting and daydreaming about a new 1100cc Honda.
