Ps. Like Jennifer would also like to know where the neurosurgeon studied in the USA.
Also if you havent stopped riding and lifting weight, need to stop. Lifting weights may have caused some of your issues. When you are better, find new isometric exercises ,perhaps plank, but no more bilateral flies with weights, they will flare you up everytime. I do all my upper body work laying down with my alone totally out of gravity. Had to give up my 10 speed and only use recumbent bike in gym. Like I said, have to adapt, fusion is not always the best answer. Read " Watch you back" a dr talks about the oversold business of fusions.. jm1

I stopped riding in October 2022 because I couldn't due to the pain.
I ride an exercise bike at home for 15 minutes a day when my pain is not too bad.
Just 6 months ago I used to ride my Pinarello F10 Dogma DI2 bike anything between 60 and 80km without issues.

Also I haven't done gym since the problem started in August 2022.

I am only doing a slow light walk which I struggle with. It is not pain fee and I must make sure that I walk slow. I also wear a soft collar when I walk.

How do you do your upper body out of gravity. If I lie down my pain is at its worst. When I stand I feel the least pain.
