A couple of weekends ago, my lower back started tightening up during a break on a Sunday ride. Decided to pack it up and head for home. By that night, I could barely walk to the bathroom!
Next morning, I get a perscription for pain killers and muscle relaxants from the emergency room.
Next I find a good sports doctor, takes X-Rays to make sure there is no vertebrae movement (none, thank God!), so I start treatment on Prednisone and schedule an MRI.
Found out today from the MRI that I have a minor herniated disk at L5. Next step is some PT and exercise.
I was wondering if any other DRN members ride with a condition like this, or anything similar?
I just recently hit 30 and I'm already falling apart! Cripes!
