I have ridden or raced since I was 12 years old.  125/250 intermediate.  Last year I woke up one morning and I fell to the ground in pain.  My whole lower body went numb.  I wasnt able to move.  I went to the emergency room and had a bunch of scans and xrays.  What they found was l5/l6 herniated disk pressing on my nerves.  They said it wont require surgery.  I wasnt able to walk for 3 months.  It has been about a year since this happened.  This happend without even being in an accident.  Anyway, I just picked up a blown up 125 for REAL cheap and my plan was to throw a new top end in it and sling it off.  Now Im thinking I might want to keep it.  (I sold my yz250f last year)  Should I just go for it and ride?  I am still not able to run, jog, or do any jarring of my back.  Doctor says stay away from bikes.  (dont they all?)  If I just stick to trails and just go on fun trips with the friend to the desert should I be fine?  No Glen helen practices, no LACR practices.  I miss hitting tripples and big hits, but if I just stick to the trail riding and desert riding i think Ill get my fix.  What do you guys suggest?  My parents say now way.  Im 26 and would rather look at others suggestions.   Thanks, Shane
