I'll be 57 in a couple of weeks and have some stenosis in my neck as well as lower back issues. They had me do therapy a few years ago for the neck, and it helped some. Right now, I've been doing 25 to 30 miles on Saturday and 15 miles a couple of times during the week and the neck thing is flaring up a bit. The back is great because I hit the gym a couple of times a week and work on my "core", stomach and back, as well as some other stuff.

My main neck issue now is that it hurts a little when I turn my head to the left side. I've had some tingling and numbness in my hands, but I have only been riding semi-seriously for a couple of months. Generally, if I keep shifting positions, the tingling and numbness are managable.

What are some other ways you guys deal with these things?
