what is the actual diagnosis of that called?

cords reports said degenerative disc disease

That’s crazy shitty dude. Is there a fix? By asking i truly am hopeful for some bionic scientific what-evs (that’s official speak) for replace or adapt or something?!

Looks ugly, Lano.  Are they going to fuse the vertebrae or something?

had a bit of a read about it here:

Interested because I have a back condition myself which presents itself as stress fractures with a bulging disc. At the age of 16 I was told ‘no weight bearing activities, no activities with leaping/bounding (snowboard jumps anyone?) etc….but I have been able to manage it fairly effectively.

Hoping you can, too! Who are you seeing about it? A physio?

Hey, yes I was told I can snowboard as long as I don’t fall or do jumps hahahah.
At this stage I am trying to find a good sports doctor to see what I should be doing to ease the pain and not to injury it further.

This is what rheumatologist told me

No running
No weight lifting/anything that is putting pressure from my shoulder down I shouldn’t be doing it.
No more soccer
he even told me not to wear a backpack to get my self a wheel bag, ( No efen way i am going through city pulling back with only laptop and few other things in it).

and all other bunch of things.

yeah it was the sports physician that told me those things. I would see one of those and also take the scans and previous information along to a physiotherapist and get an opinion from them as well.

Doctors and physios etc.. All apply learned knowledge that is mostly based on less than 50years of scientific knowledge.

Do what feels right and YOU feel comfortable with.

I would rather live to 50 doing what I enjoy than to 90 in a wheel chair doing what medical professionals tell me.

I do believe most ‘medic pros’ would wrap everyone in cotton wool to treat injury instead of considering the patients life requirements.
Life does not equate to doing nothing because of injury. It’s about adapting so you can continue to enjoy living.


Hope you find a solution soon.

Tore my ACL last weekend playing football. Jumped up for an uncontested header from a corner and must have landed funny. Hurt like hell and my header didn’t even go in (just over the bar)...No snowboarding for me for a while. :-(
