Got two bulging discs 5 years ago (L4/L5). Have impingement on my femoral and syatic nerves.

I ride a desk for work and do hobby farming to stay active outside of work, and work part time as a first responder (EMS)

I have a cane for bad days, and meloxicam for really bad days/weeks.

Doing CPR sucks, running sucks, basically most excersises suck. I can’t pick up my kids as much as I’d like, and I am having a hard time convincing my wife to let me try bull riding… doing to much gives me nerve shocks down both legs from by butt down to my heels.

But, I push through and try to stay active.

I’ve done physical therapy twice, both times made it worse. Tried a chiropractor, each visit would give me about 45-60 minutes of relief after the procedure.

Long car rides are about the worst. I’ll be bent over almost double getting out. During isn’t bad, it’s the straitening out afterwards.

It’s getting harder and harder to make things smaller, but they are making things thinner now, which means they can layer them, thus increasing density.

It’s a facinating ride.
