• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Hope its not a ruptured disc. Im recovering from surgery myself, but Im still ryde'n

I had never had back issues before, but started having extreme pain in my left butt-cheak going all the way down my left leg & foot, couldn't hardly walk even & Percocets did nothing for the pain. After 2 weeks of waiting on Drs appointments & finally a MRI, thats when they discovered I had a ruptured disc inpinging on my Sciatic Nerve causing all the pain. Mine was the L5-S1 disc & my only permanent fix was to have a surgical Laminectomy of the disc & that was 17 days ago. Still not able to work, no BLTs (Bending, Lifting, Twisties) only thing I can do is lay on the couch, walk a little further every day & now can ryde the Spyder again for short distances :bowdown: I was going crazy with not being able to ryde every day, BEST THERAPY IN THE WORLD :yes: I start physical therapy on Wednesday & hope to be good enough to make it to SpyderFest, slated to potentially return to work May 1st:clap: I hope yours isn't this serious, but if it is, my only option was for an Epidural Spine Injection, but they said that would usually be a temporary fix, at best. If I can offer any suggestions or advice, just PM me. Teddy & I will keep you in our prayers :pray:

Nothing much worse than back pain.... especially Sciatic Nerve pain... OUCH....

I herniated 2 discs and had the pain down my leg for a long time... NOT FUN.

I was able to fix mine with physical therapy, traction, etc.....

Try anything before getting cut!
 
Forgot to mention, you may also want to see a good Chiropractor

I did go to a chiropractor before opting for surgery & it did help, some, just not enough to relieve my pain substantially. Not knowing your particulars, I'd suggest giving it a try & hopefully it gives you some relief :pray:

Yeah--- I did that route too... and it does help...... the key is to catch it while it's only herniated.. not ruptured!

Not doing stupid things helps a bunch... don't lift and twist... EVER.

I love going to Chiro.... always feels great afterwards......
 
I've been going to a chiropractor 2+ times a week for almost two years now.
I can actually move a bit today. Laying down on my bed helps a lot.
 
But riding season is here... :shocked: You want to make sure that you'll be okay for stints in the saddle...
Feel a good deal better today. still a bit tender at times. but I feel almost normal at the moment. The muscles in my back feel very elastic. Like when you play with a rubber band, just stretching it and letting it loose. Thats how it feels when my muscles contract and loosen today. Was able to climb on my spyder pretty easily this morning. didnt go for a ride though. Should probably put it on a battery tender. Its rare if I got more than a few days without riding. been almost a week now.

Oh.. and I know a lot of people will hate me for saying this... but this year... in Vegas... riding season never really ended if you could deal with the cold.
 
Glad to hear your start'n to feel better

:thumbup: Take it slow & easy & hopefully you'll be back in the saddle in no time :2thumbs:
