Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on here in a while, but two weeks ago I had surgery to remove part of a disc in my back that had ruptured into my spinal cord. They had to go in and physically move all of my nerves back to where they were and sew them into place.
Turns out, the disc had probably been ruptured for about a year and a half and I had been riding motorcross and hauling hay and lifting weights the whole time. The doctor told me that I could have been paralyzed pretty easily. He also told me it would be a good idea to never ride again. That is pretty hard for me, since I am 21 years old and I now have two discs in my lower back that as the doctor says "look in the MRI about like a 45 year old's."
I was wondering what advice yall could give me. It really bothers me that I might have to give up something that I am so passioniate about. Anyway, just thought I would see what you all had to say!
