Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The leg cramps from deydration I experienced today while riding, I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

Was thinking about the call of shame at one point, but then decided to HTFU and finish.

The pain didn’t slow me down all too much.

So, I looked into this a bit.

Neither our local pain neurosurgeon nor anesthesiologist had heard of the concept and the term "toxic annular tear" yields nothing on a Pubmed search, which is not a good sign. I have to say, I didn't find the video particularly convincing and what Dr. Mork seems to be describing in terms of symptoms is localized low back pain, rather than radiating symptoms referable to a problem with a particular nerve root or roots.

Maintaining due humility in the face of something I don't understand, the only advice I can offer is proceed with caution. I'm still happy to review the records, FWIW.

sounds like a witch doctor procedure.
I'm all in!

I think in one of the three parts or another video he mentioned it applies to radiculopathy(sp).

When you're desperate you want to believe anything. It is only minor surgery so i thought it could be worth looking into. Might not be offered in the Atlanta metro area or not be approved by insurance.

Thank you for checking into it. Proceeding with caution is good advice.

You gonna be one of those A-holes on the MUP who wears ear buds and dances to the tunes so you take up the whole path, can't hear other traffic coming up behind you, and then do random pirouettes?

Totally understand the desperation part and skeptical humility is the only appropriate attitude for an internet kibitzer.

Initial run across the carpet indicates that Rollerblading is not "just like riding a bike"

I should've gotten knee/elbow/wrist pads.

Wish me luck...

The incident that got me off of riding on MUPs was encountering a young couple who had obviously just gotten their rollerblades - they were very tentative and the skates kept trying to get away from them and dump them. They decided this was a great way to walk their dog. With an extendo-leash. The dog was in the bushes on MY SIDE of the MUP as I approached them, so the extendo leash was strung completely across the path. I had to go off the path, AROUND the dog they couldn't control because they could barely control themselves.

Ooof, 1/3 mile. Tibialis anterior on fire much of the time. This is gonna take a bit of getting used to.

I imagine my last time was 1997 or so. I rollerskated at a rink in 2007-ish and did pretty well, so I kinda thought I'd get right back into the swing of rollerblading. I used to ride down stairs forward and backwards with ease for cryin' out loud!
