I'm 33. Cool, thanks for the ideas, I've got lots of stuff to try. I did try a chiropractic and after several sessions with. I relief he told me he couldn't help me.
All you young guys work on your posture, lifting and bending techniques as soon as you can! I never thought I would be as back as I am at my age. I feel like I'm trapped in the body of a 70 yr old! If I don't make serious changes soon Im almost positive I will be in a wheel chair by 40!

I was rear ended by an 18 wheeler and shoved underneath another back in 09' and lived to tell about it. I was slowly dying and the insurance company was trying to finish me off with pills. Since I could not move or go anywhere I decided to learn everything about the spine I could and save myself. You are your own best doctor. I've tried almost all of the remedies but what I learned most was something called an atlas specific adjustment. I had a torn spine, two herniated discs, a bulging disc and spinal fluid leaking into my bloodstream. I am now at about 95% of what I used to be. First I will cite one of my sources. There is a medical book called The Subluxation Specific, The Adjustment Specific Volume 18 by B.J. Palmer. In it I have found information that when presented to spine doctors (and trust me I've seen MANY) they just stare at me in bewilderment. I went to Sherman College of Chiropractic a couple of times to ask some of the professors if they had read this book and I started to share with them the importance of your C1 atlas and its proper foundational position. This book is so amazing that I would compare it to a eureka moment. What E=mc/2 is to partial physics, the atlas is to the human body. If you want to know more just hit me up.

A quick note on checking your atlas can be seen through a byproduct of its mal position. Stand in front of a mirror and relax. Look at your shoulders but look at your skeletal position. Is one shoulder higher than the other? Also look where the trapezius meets the neck. Is one muscle higher or about the same? This can determine the amount of time your atlas has side slipped from underneath your cranium. Your atlas has something called the transverse process on its lateral sides. You can feel them just below the mastoids of your cranium. Just google a picture of the mastoid, it will be an upside down horn just below the bottom of your ear. At the tip of the bottom of the horn you should feel a slight bulging when you press into it. If you are ok they will be even but if you have lower back pain, migraine etc this will be a sign that your brain stem could have slight pressure on it. Of course it takes a lot of practice to see if your atlas is misaligned and there are MANY other things to look for but if you visualize the spine as a giant "Jenga" you will see that if you head is actually leaning to one side then your shoulders will compensate by lowering to one side to make your head straight and now after a day/lifetime of leaning to one side your lower back is worn out and if you put pressure on your "Jenga" a disc can bulge out the side. If you can correct the balance the body will heal itself.

So fusion isn't an option? I would see another doctor (or two) just to get another opinion. I have an unrelated injury where one doc told me surgery wouldn't help and two others who said it would never heal without surgery. I'm opting for surgery. All I'm saying is get another opinion just to be sure.
If it were me I would seriously look into whether or not fusion would help and would find a doctor who specializes in minimally invasive techniques. At that level I doubt you would lose any mobility at all and a lot of doctors are using some awesome minimally invasive procedures.

Did you have the fusion? My research shows that it's a good way to address the pain, and a good way to blow out more discs. Eliminating one joint puts pressure on another. Then you frequently reinjjre until you have 4 or 5 fusions, at which point it stops because you can't do anything at all any more.

I am a diy guy. Thought I was invincable. I believed that crap the doctors spewed about you knowing your body best and etc. it was perpetual frustration until I was dx with neuro problems.
Now I'm not talking about addiction excuses. I'm not sayin you're helpless. What I'm saying is that when you have a neuro problem, and you leg pain is originating from your back, which is influenced and increased by your shoulder, your making decisions based on bad information. There's nothing wrong with my leg.
Finding a good sports medicine doctor is worth it. The guy I recently found and like is a chiropractor but the full body posture approach is what I like.
It's hard to figure out what is wrong with bad signals. A good doctor will tell you what is wrong, and if he does a good job and do your homework, then hopefully you can fix some of those bad signals, feel better, and hopefully take back the decision making reins.

I've never had fusion. Since my job is prototyping the newest cutting edge spinal implants and instruments I hear of countless success stories of patients who have our hardware implanted in them. I'm sure our employer is never going to share the negative outcomes so I realize it's all biased. That being said, seeing what i make would lead me to talk to a surgeon who could give me all of the facts about long term outcomes from fusion. I'm not saying whether or not it's the best way to go since I'm not a doctor and every case is different I just know new techniques are making the surgery far less invasive so recovery is much easier. getting a few opinions is always the best way to go.

This is what worked for me but theses types of doctors are hard to find.
I sent him a text regarding this thread, he said he would take a look. I really hope that his rehabilitation gets him to where he can ride again!
You usually want to hold off on surgery as long as possible. It can't guarantee that it will actually solve the pain. I'm your age and at 25 was walking with a cane into my PTs office. Working the transverse abdominal muscles has helped out a lot. It never seems to fail that when I'm lax on taking care of my back and body that all of the sudden my back pain gets a little worse...

Seems that the recent work on my left psoas and other hip flexors is helping emensly. Its odd to me that my previous doctors didnt bother too look at this sooner. Its no wonder why it hurts to stand up straight, when my hip flexors are extremely tight so i hyperextend my back to stand up. This new doctor is fixing that, without a knife. Ive been feeling pretty damn good recently after wanting the knife for a long time.

Telling you guys. You need to find a rolfer and do a 10 series. @Vumad - what your doc is doing for your hip flexors, the rolfer will do for your whole body.
