Warpath and your back in your M2

[KAYE RIVERCITY]

Hows your back doing on those long trips with the M2 Showhauler?.....any different than your other Showhauler?....geofkaye

Actually, the M2 rides almost as good as the FLD did and the FLD had the air ride up front. The last seats I put in the FLD where much better than the seats I have in the M2 right now. The M2 is much more stable with the 14,600 lb front axle.

As long as I am riding my mountain bike the back is all good no matter what I am driving.

Since my problem came at a early age, the doc's opted for partial disk removal. But that meant a longer recovery (3 months) and I have to make sure I always exercise. With this procedure I have complete mobility. My back will let me know when I am slacking and I need to kick it in gear.

My father had disk fusion and his recovery was much faster than mine. (6 weeks)

Make sure you go to a highly recommended back surgeon, and go for it. If your in pain like I was the surgery was the best thing ever!

My MOM was a physician and she always said two things: "Never go to a Doc you don't know personally and don't let them cut on your back or brain unless there is NO other options".....Pain I can deal with-have a very high tolorance- as I grew up involved in a lot of rough and tumble situations-including getting shot when I was 17.....'course that was then and this is now- but I'll just have to go at it a little slower as I get older.....and the women have to be skinner-and not so inthused as they used to be.....I just like to exchange info with others that have back pain/issues to see how they are doing as I know what works-WORKS! and what doesn't work-try something else.....keep safe....geofkaye
