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? The worsening condition is my back leading to overall musculoskeletal problems in addition. Apparently the problem is arthritic in nature so the disks are degenerating leading to rupturing. I'm not supposed to ski anymore, as of last Friday, but I don't think I'll stop until I can't get out of the truck. I'm too young to live like a debillitated 80 year old. Hopefully my plan to ski the blues conservatively will work out. |
