    I'm sorry you're going through this, and so glad you're improving! I have degenerative Disc disease, which comes with occasional long term pain/ numbness/ weakness of my back/ left arm. I'm thankful it's not legs, or my primary arm! Wishing you continued improvement! Beautiful pup!

    When you’re describing what nerve damage is like…I now get it because for around two months I’ve got a pinched nerve in my shoulder. Not comparable to yours but if I somehow trigger it in getting a huge whammy of flash pain, it doesn’t just hurt I also feel very weak, my arm seems weak and can’t move as much.
    It’s frustrating for me at moment but at least I can run though. Great to see your progress. Can’t imagine how frustrating it is for you being limited.

    18 months on my trapped nerve ( in my back) anterolisthesis is still there, my leg from knee to ankle is still numb, not painful, just irritating!
    This time last year I could very slow walk/ jog 1to2 miles, no strength in my leg ! Cycling I couldn’t cycle over the motorway bridge without bottom gear, I certainly couldn’t stand on the pedals. Hospital just dismissed me saying it would get better in a year or stuck with it forever ( I am 73)
    I went to sports massage, which helped a little, the went Bowen therapy and acupuncture which definitely helped build up my strength. By last summer I still struggled on hills on my bike, I could run slowly for 5 km. I built up my strength cycling over the summer and could cycle 80 miles no trouble unless there were big hills 😂 I could cycle slowly up Cheddar gorge, ( we live near there)
    I entered the Grizzly in March this year, ( 20 mikes 3000ft on the coast) trained from November building up to 16 miles walk/ jog/ run 2000 ft over the Quantock hills, leg still numb! No pain, just irritating.
    On the day of the race I decided not to trust my leg, I was worried it might be too much for it, river crossings, shingle beaches etc, so transferred to the Cub run which was only 9 miles and 1200 ft ! I really enjoyed it, glad I transferred as it was a very tough day in the mud.
    I am getting there, hoping to get back to cycling again when the weather improves as this seems better for my leg, a few Audax rides 100 k hopefully, running through the winter has helped, I get back ache, road running, I found using poles and Nordic walking helped a lot on the off road hills. So! I am left with it!! I can’t decide whether to go back and ask for more help if there is any!! But not sure any operation might make it worse/ more risk and anyway by the time they got to me I would be in my 80 s😂😂😂
    Keep on working, great to watch your progress as I feel similar to mine ( but worse) ! Best of luck with it all! Sorry for the long post, it’s helpful to write it down to see my progress !

    Great to see your progress fella and so nice you’ve been able to enjoy moments pain free for a change! You’ll soon be rocking those shorts from your 20’s with pride 💪🏼

    Great to see that you are doing better. I'm also a little better myself, can walk on my heels better but still can't do it on my toes although I can maintain my weight a little bit if I do a negative rep. I went to a consultation with a local surgeon yesterday and he was adamant with surgery but I'm still not sold on it, I want to save my back as I'm into bodybuilding. My fitness went to crap for the past few months but I started walking more as the weather has gotten better, now I look like I don't lift even though I can bench 225lbs with ease for 8reps. I hope we recover both, I'll be watching your progress. Cheers mate.
