Well, my back has reached a watershed \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
Even though my back pain has gone, I’ve been struggling for the last week with sciatica-type pain in my right hip and sometimes right down to my ankle. Tonight I’ve come down to Somerset for a hastily arranged physio appointment and Ivor has started talking about other causes for my ‘hyper-mobile’ lower back. My core stability is much improved but still I am having problems, my SI joint jumping out even if I sneeze! \u00a0We’ve discussed various possibilities, most of which I can’t pronounce let alone spell!<\/p>\n
So, it’s weeks more treatment to see if it settles down or get a scan and find out what is really going on,\u00a0then consider what other treatment options might be on the table as\u00a0I’ve\u00a0been off the bike for the best part of 3 months already, all told.<\/p>\n
Not one to mess about, tomorrow I am hoping to be booked in to the Somerset MRI Centre, near Bridgwater, to have an MRI scan of my lower back.<\/p>\n
Got to pay for it but an easy decision – new rear wheel or an MRI scan…..New wheel not much good if I can’t ride a MTB.<\/p>\n
I’ll try and get some downloads of the scan onto a memory stick for those of you who can read the things!<\/p>\n
