Sorry to hear that Leemond. I'm afflicted by two herniated discs in my lower back, which take on a different form of Hell every day of my life\.I also have a tarsal coalition in my left foot, and now my knees are starting to go because I've had to rely on them so much more than most people. In short, I'm falling apart. But I try to remind myself however bad it gets, that i could be in a MUCH worse situation. I can still go for a jog, ride a bike, kick a ball, etc.
