I'd go with what Dave says. I have a set of exercises to do now from the physio, but not been able to do them since injuring my knee. My issues, from breaking my spine, are reduced mobility in my hips and lower back. I've got to do them or I'll not be able to ride, or indeed, end up like my mother in law (a term my wife uses).

So it's not just this thread that's going down the pan
Other peoples problems do put your own in perspective. I was reading this this morning.

"I'm a little bit broken," she said.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live, she added: "I've got some dodgy discs in my lower back and neck. I've had four major knee operations. I'm in the chiropractor every few weeks and it is quite tough. Sometimes you think 'was it worth it?' but instantly you say it was worth it.

[QUOTE 5398508, member: 9609"]Good luck with that hope it doesn't show anything too bad, as you will no any symptoms below the knee are not good.
I have an ankle that will go all pins and needles / numbness and I take it as a big red flag to be super careful for a week or too. (its a narrowed foramen with bony growths that squish the nerve)
best of luck with it.[/QUOTE]
I'm having my whole spine MRI'd this afternoon and he's referred me for nerve conduction tests as there are some unclear nervy things
Apparently I'm more 'interesting' that 'just' my lower back history

I hated the nerve conductive tests, I think the person doing them was a sadist 
I'm gonna push back on that, as much as my back will allow. Only the road bike, boyo. Might try the mtn bike later this week...

[QUOTE 5399837, member: 9609"]scary things reading MRI results, I guess you have had them before so you will know they never sound good even when they are not too bad.
Mine sounded like the end of the world but i'm OK ish now.[/QUOTE]
Indeed, but I won't be doing the reading. One good thing is I'm not in as bad a state apparently as most of the patients he sees who are under the same rheumatologist as me!
MRI done, lying still on back for 45 minutes was very uncomfortable, and half my left hand went dead!
