Older regular injured rider seeking advice.

This the US, we have no health care. Even if you have insurance, it's all just a money racket. 

I took today off work just to ice it all day.

Tell me about it. Family of five and my monthly almost matches my mortgage. Not any mortgage, a DC area mortgage which is heartbreaking without the added insurance costs.

Or have a friend help on the other tests.

 

Unless they are ready to die, no friends of mine will be cramming anything into my dimples. I guard my dimples closely. ???

I was just about ready to stop my activity in this thread.

But I feel obligated to make sure riders do NOT get the mistaken idea that euc riding has been or ever will be linked to si injury and especially causal regular riding. Euc falls and accidents are a different story. But any person doing any sport or activity can get a si injury from a fall or accident. DO NOT attribute MY isolated si ligimate injury to General ridership!!!

In fact, that was EXACTLY my forum inquiry... has anyone during regular riding have this si injury happen to them? 

Not one person has came forward to report this to be so.

lt is clearly my euc that did this. However, I rode to excess, even during painful days and had a history and contributing factors. 

Sometimes ya just don't know till ya ask. 

Result: Euc gets a clean bill of health. Idiot, not so much.

I hope I will get better. Walking would be nice.

Enjoy ur euc, just be alert, polite and watch where the he'll you're going!  

Walking is nice. Any activity is better than none at all.

Cram what into my...? 

I iced it all day, much better. 

I tend to agree. Much more likely the weed pulling from last week caused my back issues than riding IMHO. Took a few days to hit me and seems like it got worse over the last few days. Weak back.

The Wizard is back.

Ninebot one c+. 2000 miles. 66 years old and still a living every single last second.

Flying through the air, gliding down the streets, sidewalks, bike trails and hilly bumpy dirt paths in the middle of the woods!

Yes, I had quit posting as I had to quit riding.

I had a year off after having spent a great deal of it in bed and in pain.

Turns out that my SI Joint pain eventually forced me off all recreational devices and activities.

It also exposed me the stage 4 cancer that was growing in my SI Joint and pelvic area.

Treatments hospitals drugs etc.

I am ok. I am responding very well to treatment!!!

Sooo, what of my beloved Robotic Unicle Drone and my riding days???

After using a cane and walker I couldn't chance any fall whatso ever. So I started biking. Eventually my health improved so much that I invented a SEAT for my euc and learn to ride seated all the time.

I still use full protective gear and even wear a 4" thick 16" by 12" foam pad chest protector.

I have had many a spill and 2 or 3 cut outs. One at full speed hurrying across an intersection. I really went flying on that one and scared the whole intersection, rolling and flopping up the hill.

Anyway, I posted to say... where theres a will, theres a way.

I'm still out there, I just ride seated.

The Wizard.
