My Doc despatched me for that check as a result of a follow-up MRI of my head after my October bike crash confirmed some signs that are most likely age-related however she desires to rule out different prospects. So now I must do a check of higher physique nerve response in case something may be getting pinched within the cervical space. I don’t have too many signs within the neck, I’ve good mobility (I do some stretches each evening), and I don’t have any tingling or lack of power in my palms. So I anticipate to do okay on that check (Might 7) however we’ll see. My neck does get stiff after too lengthy using on an upright, which is why I desire a recumbent for lengthy rides.
I now have identified osteoarthritis in two areas, and beforehand needed to have hip replacements due to osteoarthritis there.

All of those circumstances are most likely regular age-related issues, however I imagine in doing what I can to gradual performed the march of time.
