will casual motocross riding make degenerative disk worse?......it feels better when I ride?

So called casual motocross riding (3-4 hours/wk) should not make degenerative disks worse.  It is strenuous heavy lifting repetitively over time that causes this.  It occurs over 10-20 years.  It may seem like motocross riding makes it worse b/c you might go over a bump and jar that impinged nerve.  You should get a lumbar spine MRI for further evaluation.  If necessary you can get a lumbar spine disc decompression, surgically.

No way, even if there were 100X or 200X drives, the centrifugal force on the CD itself would not be great enough to cause the disc to shatter.  Perhaps if the disc is already damaged previously in some way, a bad chip/scratch or wrinkled label might be enough to throw the disc off balance inside the drive which (when spinning at 52X perhaps) could cause some serious damage.  But on a normal disc the speed alone will not shatter it, not even if it was spinning for days and days.

Well, there is a fairly new one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. This treatment really seems to stop a main cause of these disc problems, and I know of some persons who got rid of all symptoms within a short period of time.\n\nAnyway, it's worth trying - you'll be amazed.\n\nJust - the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. It worth even a long journey! :-)

Well, I'm sure it could, but I find it hard to believe that you held down your head for 8 hours/day for 10 years.  Sounds like you are trying to "build a case" for worker's comp.  Ruptured disc usually caused by injury.

It is more fun on a small track live.  I have been to Daytona and you can't see the whole track.  Plus, they go by so fast you only see a blur.  Small tracks are better because you can see everything.

It sounds like you have a bulging disc compressing on the layers that surround your spinal cord.  But, it seems to be very small.  Obviously, as with anything, wait to hear what your doctor says about it.

I really sympathize with you..In my opinion you have a disc problem as your symptoms are typically of it.The discomfort in your lower body is due to your nerves being injured by the slipped disc.Check these web pages:\n\nhttp://www.emedicinehealth.com/ganglion_cyst/article_em.htm\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion_cyst\n\nGood Luck\nGaurav

Disc brakes are much more effective and tend to lasst longer.  The only disadvantage is they are more expensive.

It could be anything really. Your posture. A trapped nerve. A damaged disc. \n\nHave you tried sleeping with lots of cushions to support your legs?  eg making sure you are totally relaxed and supporting any areas that feel not so comfortable? A small cushion in the base of your neck? A couple under your knees to make sure your knees dont lock in the night putting prerssure on your spine?\n\nExperiment with it and see what works.  My friend props herself on her side in the recovery position and places a cushion behind her back so she doesnt roll over, and one inbetween her knees as she doesnt like the feeling of bone on bone. Her back pain has been tons better jsut lately due to this.

Well lets see it's the best sport ever!!!!!!! Lots of awesome riders and it's super fun to do. I love Motocross, Riding is exhilarating and thrilling makes you feel the ultimate Adrenalin rush. Broke my scaphoid(wrist) in a slide out corner, but was worth it. Freedom... as it is a bike, and you can go super fast as well as jumping these machines to unbelievable heights. I've try ed all different types of bikes for ex. Honda 80cc,200,250,Kawasaki 100,and the latest bike I've ridden is Yamaha 450F. This bike is way too big for me but it is still thrilling to try out.My Old bike was a Honda 200xr and it was a great learning bike. But I like to jump and you need better suspension. So I'm in the midst of buying a new one. For now I ride My mans Honda 250cr for fun. This bike is too hairy for me , as I'm not that big of a body type to ride such a beast. If you ever get the chance to go to a show you should check it out you wont be disappointed. You can always rent bikes as well, but make sure you wear all the protective gear.Enjoy and let loose:).

You need to pack it very well.  Make it almost as hard as asphault.  Your drivers will apperciate it very much and you will have better racing.

Yes it can. Since it does not seem that it was treated, the damage to the disc was increased through continued movement and lifting (if you did any lifting). Left untreated it is possible that the disc degenerated over 2 years. 2 years is a long time to walk around with a ruptured disk in your lumbar region.

If you can afford the upgrade and ride competitively, it's a good move.  If you are a casual trainer/rider, you won't see much difference in the results.\n\nGood Luck!
