I've been riding since 2013, after a 12 year hiatus. I'm 73. Never fast, I just like riding, rode just over 1000 miles last year. I'm way overweight. I've done 11 rides this year, starting at 7 miles, 16 yesterday. That's a little more than I did last year.
I feel fine during the rides, but several hours after I get home, the lower 1/3-1/2 of my back hurts, from lower rib to lower rib across my back. I have a known L4-L5 disc problem, but this feels different. This is brand new this year for me.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? What did you do?
There's no need to tell me to see an orthopd ... if I don;t get something pretty specific from this query, I'll be making an appointment tomorrow or Tuesday.
