Well,having some serious back pains the last few days I said fuck im gona be a pussy and go to the doctor.

Doctor told me I shoudn't do eny lifting or enything involving the back for 2 weeks.And if it gets worse it coud become easy 3 months injury.

So looks like so far my season is not so bright.

[chronic]

Facet joint strain?

[Noel]

I feel for you.

[mcdub]

Wat sucks more.Monday im picking my stuff up and cant hoist it in myself.Wich is a real bummer,the day of my bday I can't hoist my motor in.

[Maverick_ZOO!]

damn , i almost got the same problem, will probably go to a doctor soon... one thing, how do i get rid of it? just lay down and rest in two weeks or what?....

[mcdub]

He told me to rest and not to lift heavy objects.

Oh well this monday I have 2 engines to pick up.Fuck the doctors orders.

[Rodmunch]

Yeah, fuck em! They're only doctors, what the hell do they know???

[rush]

Yeah, fuck em! They're only doctors, what the hell do they know???

:rofl:

So true, seriously dont fuck up your back. It can totally wreck your quality of life when you get over 25/30. Seriously.

I fractured a spinal column :wavey

[lucky13]

See a chiropractor that is medicaly inclined (as opposed to hippy inclined) and get some treatment. Regular doctors are chodes. "here is some pain killer, now take it easy."

Also, what Rush said,.. coming from a 28yo with back issues.

I am on the verge of selling ym trials bike due to back pain. I was only able to ride about 10 times last year and this year who knows.

At this point my back is completely jacked by the time I leave work (computer jock) and I cannot ride. I am taking muscle relaxers and anti inflamatories everyday but things are not getting better. I am still waiting for results from my doc but I think it may be time to hang up biking for good.


Maybe I will buy a cruiser and go riding with my wife.

[Sir_Crackien]

man i'm dreading the day when i can't ride the way that i want to any more.

good luck to you guys and your back problems:thumb:

[Giant1118]

maybe you people should exercise a tad more...just an idea

[needabike]

I feel for you bro, 2 weeks into my ski season i broke my back taking me out for 3 months just to heal it. I'm now 4 months in and still in physio. I'm really hoping i'm not building my new bike for nothing...

[mcdub]

Who are you ^^^

Dan it was beutiful all day,ass fuck coudn't call me to go ride eh.

[Tanner]

I tore my erector spinae and the doctor said...just rest. Really. It took 8 weeks for mine to heal properly, but it's worth every second I didn't mess it further. Just do a lot of stretching, sleeping, take it easy.

[mikeschiavone]

I fractured T7 and T9 years back. I went a week before getting it checked out, the first doctor missed the (numerous) fractures, the second doctor told me to just rest, and the third doctor (a spinal orthopaedic) put me on arthirtis medication and told me to take it easy for a few weeks and informed me of excercises to help me.

Get a few opinions from specialists. Give acupuncture a try. Everything you do utilizes your back, especially all the autowork you do. Play it safe.

[mcdub]

shit having lifted maybe 7 times 2 diff motors in a day.Im getting read for the pain to come again soon.

[MegamoMidwest]

great idea mcdub. great idea.

I fractured a spinal column a long while ago. it wasn't ALL that bad, it just restricted me from doing a bunch of stuff for a while
