Wow! That is a long time to live with it and gives me hope.

I don’t have the tingles in the leg anymore which is good. Tightness in calf only really occurs with a certain type of show or jogging- so could just be muscular. I’ve decided not to run / jog - only if I extremely need to due to work stress and if I have no time to ride.

I ride 3/4 times a week now - an hour each time. It helps me mentally and physically. Pilates is once a week and I have strength 2x a week. Not much success losing the weight yet - 3kg in 9’weeks.

I’m trying a lot of different treatments. Unfortunately it seems like work plays are part due to long meetings / workshops and documentation! I can’t quit work can I ? Haha

What type of surgery do they recommend at your vintage? Didn’t think they would recommend it

J... I don't know about the surgery for my case. I haven't met with a spinal surgeon yet... as mentioned I'm on an 8 week plan of physical therapy and epidermal injections. Then will decide about surgery... last resort. I've done numerous treks (5 day, 50 miles, etc.) through New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. Sure would like to have one more of those.
