Hi all,
I've been diagnosed last week with a herniated and sequented disc in
my lower back... (S1/L5).... Symptoms are numb foot and weakness in
calf muscle.
Trouble is... I've got 16days in Alpe d'Huez booked from 22nd Dec.
Has anyone skied with a recently injured back like that? Only thing
I'm nervous about is a fall which may cause permanent damage.
Talk to your doctor.
With that said, I've been skiing with a ruptured disc for 2 years. This
year I will stick to the intermediate runs because of a worsening
condition
since July. Skiing has not been the source of increased damage to my
back;
but I've skied carefully.
Is the worsening condition your back or something else?
