2015 in the books

2015 was a great year for my back.  No issues with it at all.  I increased by cycling with my local cycling club and put in just shy of 4500 miles on my road bike with no back problems (or crashes) this year.  I have started training for the 2016 American Birkebeiner 50k (~31 miles) cross country ski race in February.  My goal is to just to finish without dying from exhaustion. My back has not limited me at all.  I am still cautious about lifting heavy objects, not due to any pain, but rather just a mindfulness of protecting my M6-L so that it will hopefully last for many years to come.  I'm still grateful everyday for the surgery that gave me my life back.

    Happy new year and thanks for the update! It's great to hear how well you are doing with the M6L. I am grateful to you and the few other bloggers who did ADRs in the UK for posting your journeys. Good luck with the Birkebeiner.

    Happy to hear that your back pain is doing well.
    Just some recommendation, have you considered having any osteopathic treatment?
    From my experience I have seen great results on patients having such problems as you do.
    There are some works that really prove the results after a treatment with osteopathic techniques if you are a bit suspicious about it ;)
    Some examples if you want to have an idea about what I am talking about:

    Hope it´s useful!

    I highly recommend you this book that Alan said, is written by F. Ricard and it could be very helpful. It is called "OSTEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF THE LOW BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA CAUSED BY DISC PROLAPSE".
    All the best!

    Hi Tim,

    I'm not sure if you are checking this blog still, but I would like to speak with you further if possible.

    I would really appreciate an email to bryce.schultz@hotmail.com and to touch base further about the M6L
