Please help if you have any info, 10 years ago I was hit from behind by a car while on a street bike.The MRI diagnosis was a mild to moderate herniated disc at the c4-c5 innerspace.Best Doc. I could find (on who had surgery himself) said unless pain gets much worse donot get the operation,no contact sports,lift just light weights if working out.I have pain sometimes on own but always after riding.Pain I can deal with it usually goes away or gets much less after a couple days.My worry is this,just bought CRF 450 and I am riding motocross tracks and trails after years of not riding.Am I taking huge risk of being paralized if I take a big fall,is there a collar or brace available.I have returned to the sport that I love but do not want my young son to grow up with disabled father. :eek:
