similar issues to yours (but only the back). Had surgery on L4-L5 and L5-S1, the latter back in 2007 (at that time I was 37, first one I was 33). Before the surgery was getting bad leg pain. Now it's more middle/upper back. Hasn't really stopped me from doing anything. still work out a few days a week and play bball once a week. But has gotten worse the last few weeks. Could play but am resting to see if it helps. Was told before second surgery (which was less invasive than first) my spine was a mess and eventually I would need a major surgery. At time said could be a couple years, a decade or longer so we'll see.unfortunately my man. Im mid 30's, i have nerve root impingment, 3 bulging discs, 2 herniated disks, degnerative changes thoracic through lumbar, stenosis, all kinds of issues there. Ive also had 2 shoulder surgeries, 3 knee surgeries, and a hip. So ortho wise, im not your guy! Along with other health issues. Whats up with your back?
One knee surgery right out of college but a freak accident. Shoulders hurt but again no surgery and doesn't stop me from anything.
You "win".
