thats a very nice offer thanks so much....I will speak to the doctor and get hold of the MRI's......this forum is amazing...it really is.....it'll be some time next week when I can get them UNLESS he's already passed them on to a spinal specialist I'm being referred to as the next step.....
......regardless I WILL take you up on your offer as I want your opinion of course!!!!!!!!!
......the main thing I'm looking at now is how to get round it and do some sports....running is definitely out cos it is uncomfortable as I said.....pushing off the wall in the pool is not good either......biking seems ok when i dont have to push hills i guess......
so can anyone advise me on what to avoid specifically in order not to grind the L5 and S1.....gardening, as i said is a killer....bending down etc like taking out weeds and stuff is a no-no.....funny that, as im not applying much force, its just the position.....thankfully, sitting down at work is fine, no discomfort at all.....almost like its in the perfect no-contact position or something......
what i cant get my head round is how can it be possible I have no disc left and at no point in time have I keeled over in pain etc.....could it be like the analogy of the fish in the goldfish bowl who's water temp is turned up and up over a long period of time and they don't notice it and get used to it.....new goldfish is inserted and he goes "what the f***k, this water's too hot"....well, thats what they'd say if they could talk....hahahahahhahaha....yes I am losing it......when the doctor told be my disc has been "obliterated" I even felt nausea......
