| Permit  Joined: Apr 2012 From: Richland Washington I Ride: 1981 CB 750f SuperSport | Lumbar Disc Microsurgery ? Going in for this procedure tomorrow. L4-L5 herniated. Anyone have this procedure before ? How was your recovery ? How long has it been and how do you feel now ? Took a couple weeks off work to get better. |

| Training Wheels  Joined: Oct 2011 From: Bonney Lake I Ride: 07 CBR600RR, 06 Ducati Sport 1000, 13 phantom | I had a lamenectomy done 10yrs ago for a buldging disc and stenosis on my L4-L5. The operation worked well for 4yrs and then the pain gradually came back. I have been putting off a spinal fusion for the last 3yrs and my riding has suffered. You should do well, just remember to do your core excercises. Oh yeah, you may not want to cough or sneez for the next week or two. |

Micro surgery walking in 2hrs running in 2 wks. since surgery years ago numerous 10ks, 3 half Marathons and one full Marathon. Was I fortunate? Hell Yes! Is this the norm? No but not uncommon! Follow doctors advise and do core excercises. |

| Training Wheels Joined: Oct 2006 From: West Richland, WA | Donato, I know this is off topic a bit but could you give some insight on the core exercises you had to do. Might help old timers like me avoid the surgery and anything to help strengthen our bodies is only going to be good for our motorcycle riding. I finished a 6.8 mile leg of a marathon relay on this last Sunday and hope to run a half-marathon early next year, so I am interested in your core exercises. Thanks in advance. Strom |

| Licensed  Joined: Oct 2009 From: woodinville, wa I Ride: '02 Triumph Sprint ST | Glad to hear of your successes. Ten years ago the doc told me I'd be fusing my neck by now (because of the pain), but my only problems so far are controlling arm numbness while I sleep, although I did have a weekend recently where I basically could only look straight ahead (because of the pain). As many of you say, the key is keeping up the strength, and since I've been very, very lazy this summer it seems to be paying me back. I'd rather not have my neck fused, as I expect it would impact my riding a bit. Time to get back to the gym, dammit. |

I raced 1 month after the surgery, which was too soon.... But didn't crash, no drama. Within 3 months I felt like a million $$$ Still rockin 2 years later. I would just suggest follow the doctors recovery program, why risk it? I wouldn't again... |
