    Wow, bummer! But yes good that you can still exercise to keep your sanity and fitness over the winter! You'll be healed by the first day of spring!

    Aw, man. I didn't realize it wasn't completely healed yet.

    Vent all you like. And keep on healing.

    We thought it was and I was clear for all activities but I was experiencing some pinching mostly while sitting at my desk at work. I went back to the doctor. He ordered an MRI and then a CT. From what I understand, a normal x-ray can miss it and since I had one every time I went to the doctor, that is what happened here.

    Sorry to hear that, arielmoon. I hope the 3 months flies by for you. Spinning would definitely be a good alternative for you.

    eek! That's a long time when you just want to be "normal" again. Sucky for sure!!!! I'm sorry- I know you just need to vent and get all that frustration out. I'm glad you can still ride, tho. It's not very comforting, tho, I know...

    Ariel - Hope the time flies for you. Better wait out the 3 months, then stay hurt longer. Maybe you need to relocate to snow country so the temptation to ride is less?

    I'm sorry to hear about this, but you're smart to think long term. Three months will go quickly and you're right, it's better that this happened in the winter than the spring/summer.

    This might be a time to discover other interests/activities.... Who knows, you might find a new passion to add to cycling and horseback riding.
