sdkx500:
I have had reocurring back problems and I have been laid up for a couple months now.  I didnt even crash (this time) I just started hurting sitting at my desk.  I was wondering if any of the rest of you have had any problems and if you found anything to help.  The doctors say I have degenerating disks.  Im only 31 and I dont want to give up riding.  Im starting physical therapy but am looking for any other help others have found.  

Thanks,
T

Bingo!

I have degenerative disc disease as well (I'm 37).  The best thing you can do is a lot of cardio and lift weights; do a lot of abs and low back as well.  If you keep you bodyfat low and build up all the supporting muscles, you'll be able to ride.  Just make sure you start out  light, keep the reps between 10-15, and do at LEAST an hour of cardio 5 days a week.  I just got a 2003KX500 bored to 525 and ported with the suspension set up for me perfectly.  As long as my knee holds out starting it, my back has been fine.

I have a bad lower back from work and havent gone to a doctor (dont want surgery or to loose my job),I have good days and bad days.The bad days are from doing to much,or not sitting straight,or sitting to much,I have found what I can do or can do and pay for later!Streching and laying on a hard flat surface helps and if its real bad,ice,mucle rub and have my wife massage it, as a last resort advile or over the counter back pain pills.Rideing isnt a problem and even lifting weights helps,but I try not do use positions that dont support my back(like squats or standing bent over rows),but stretching is the best thing for me.Its up to you if you want to go to a doctor and have surgery,but I choose to live with some pain and be carefull in what I do and how I do it!
