I have trouble with sciatica. Sitting for long periods is bad. Lifting with back not legs is bad. Walking actually seems good, easier said than done. After my wife died, I walked her dog miles per day for a couple years which was probably good, but he’s gone almost 2 years now. So I do all the bad things and none of the good.
The “standing desk” people would probably say that’s what I need to do. I don’t think standing is actually helpful, it’s not the same as walking. Worst possible thing is to sit all day at the computer then lift something heavy. I did that a couple months ago, felt like an electrical shock all down my left leg. Usually it heals in 2-3 weeks, this time it mostly did but not 100%.

ANYTHING. My disk ruptures healed after lots of ibuprofen and PT. I didn’t know they could heal. But any jumping down will put me back on the injured list. Hard to train yourself. Simple things like a lowboy trailer or the tailgate of a truck. Nope, have to learn not to do it. Can’t even hop down the stairs 2 at a time any more.

Supposedly difficult to operate on. I was favoring it and it was getting worse. He told me to stop favoring it and it would get better but likely always have a little hitch in it On Fri, Dec 4, 2020, 11:55 AM Jaime Solorza <losguyswirel...@gmail.com <mailto:losguyswirel...@gmail.com> > wrote: Some of you may know I fell off this side mount back in August...I should not have tried to climb it since I had been on bed rest from retinal operation for two months mas o menos.
