Hi,
Anyone heard of any symptoms like mine?
About a year after getting into biking, I started getting pain and stiffness in my very low back (facet joint area). Not sure it's related to biking since the stiffness has only gotten worse. (been 3 years now). I don't really ride anymore. Back is stiff and painfull all the time. I'm 40 years old. (male)
I was wondering if anyone else had something similar?
I was riding 4-5 times/week, and doing mostly climbing. 2-4000 ft/ each ride.
Doctors took scans/xrays, and they don't see anything wrong, so they chalk it up to facet joint arthritis. But It got so bad I had to take anti-inflammatory meds which help, but something you can't take forever.
Anyone out there who can refer me to someone or if you have heard of this (if there is enough description here) please reply as I'd really be thankful.
Clark
