Way to keep going. I have the same issue (I am 76) with degenerative bone diseas in spine. I have an old herniated disc from playing football as a teenager.

I can walk 3 miles but have to do on side of road as found the concrete sidewalks just to hard an brutal. Do you hava access to a pool. Walking against water is a great exercise and it removes the weight issue for back problems.

I really like biking also. Stay positive as wow at 85 you are still doing great!!!
