Howdy - sorry to hear.

I have had a few ups and downs but a lot more ups lately.

For starters I’ve got into a routine of reformer Pilates (small group and personalised session last six months) at least once a week, I’ve lost some weight but not as much as I want too (I fluctuate), cycle 2/3 times a week and recently started to jog again - I had a bike accident which injured my shoulder so I could do Pilates or Ride for a month and a bit.

I haven’t had the nerve issue or issues with my legs in a while. There are moments where my back has felt tender but it’s probably due to carrying a heavy pack or sitting down too long. I started to get some nerve issues in my wrist but unsure what it was related to, which could have been desk set up, work stress, MTB set up. Hard to tell, but I am seeing a neurologist to check it’s not carpal tunnel or anything else. FYI - since I finished my project and changed projects to a new client the nerve pain in the wrist has disappeared. I was on the same project with the same client when I discovered Spondylithesis - I am not saying there is some correlation but books I have read would say there is a direct relationship between the two. Food for thought.

I feel the biggest contribution to my improved health has been Pilates, no running for a long period of time (help body recover) and stress reduction / management. Ahh also I’ve cut alcohol out the last two months and I have felt so much better
