Here is an update of my condition. I saw my doc today and he showed me my MRI of my upper back and I have another ruptured disk in C6-7 to go with the on in my thoracic area and some bulging disks in my neck and upper back and bone spurs. I am going for an Epidural Steroid Injection in my neck when its approved.

Bob,

I feel for you man. I had a ruptured disk that required surgery a few years ago. Having the surgery was a good move for me, I have been relatively pain free since. My brother had spinal fusion after a car accident and is doing really well. So, if surgery is recommended to make you feel better, I say go for it. Best wishes.

^Get the new T1000. A more advanced model, uses mimetic metal alloy. Basically, liquid metal. Much better than the original T100.

Back trouble sucks. Take care of it, you can make it worse.

I can 'will' away the pain but I know I'm hurting when people look a little scared and I think I feel fine.

Thank you I am hoping to be able to ride soon,thats a bummer not riding with good weather. I have been using the cherry pits heating pad and that helps but when the temp drops its worse a sharper stabbing pain.

Bob I had to have to disks removed and fusion to c5-7 last december. Once the surgery was over all the symptoms of pain, tingling and numbness went away completely. I can honestly say that I feel like a new man now.

Hope all goes well for you.
