Look at the link for Core Advantage in the post above mine. I did, I will, I need to do it, TY CFboy.
I ripped my lower back desert racing m/c back in the '70s.
All my working life was as a diesel mechanic and TENS Units kept me going during the painful times w/o medications and their serious side effects.
I still use my ARISTA 2000 TENS about twice a year and at 68 am considering a ball chair for my time on the comp. Research both.
A new touring bicycle will be bought soon with 35 or 38 tires... plus, a short travel ThudBuster. I've used the long travel ThudBuster for decades, these things really work when one is "caught-out" while day dreaming or riding at night. Consider it money well spent. Research this product.
PM me if you want more. Good luck... if you're heavy, get rid of the weight like I'm doing.
