Just wondering how many (if any) riders are diagnosed degeneration of the discs, particulary lumbar, and whether you are still riding and how you manage your pain??
Ive ignored sciatica for years, even the numbness, but slipped disc following a relatively minor incident at work last saturday, and been in agony since.
Seen chiro, who was not happy to manipulate until MRI, which I paid for myself Thursday. Being out of action with 4 horses in and 3 children to care for isnt really an option.
Im currently feeling super sorry for myself... mainly because I cant get away from the pain, but with the thought that my riding days are over, and my job at risk (nurse)... I just need to hear some positive stories.
