At age 81, in late January, I seriously injured my lower spine (again), causing a period of extreme pain that ended when I had surgery (microdiscectomy) that eased the pain from a herniated discs in lumbar4 and lumbar5 (L4-L5, L5-S-1) that painfully squeezed the root nerve from L5 and resulted in neuropathy in my right leg and condition know as drop foot.
Since then, the nerve compression has eased a little, helped by my walking and bicycling. More to say about this, maybe. But it looks like now that I can't seriously run again without re-injuring this region, making it worse than it was.
