cycling & back pain
I find it very interesting that so many people not necessarily in this forum, but in general start a intense cycling regimen AFTER having ADR surgery. It seems to me that cycling itself can be the cause of the original back pain. I don't know to what degree, whether is can lead to DDD or not, but I know for myself I would not be tempted in the least to start biking unless it was very casual post-ADR. Before I had my 1st laminectomy in 2001, I was one in a fairly intense cycling routine, I would go up an down a steep 1/4 mile hill up to 10 times for a workout. I had a bad fall on the ice that seems to have triggered my downward spiral, but for all I know the cycling certainly could have contributed to it. Anyone who has thoughts about the ramifications of cycling pre and post serious low back pain, please comment.
I have a couple of friends who are doing this after ADR surgery and it makes me cringe.
