I appreciate it! Hopefully they have some more information for me so I can make the best decision possible. 

Jason, they should give you all of the information you require to make a "right for you" and your expectations / needs to make the best decision possible.

Have a friend who went through foot issues on both feet and had surgery on both within a 2-month timeframe, and he was provided all of the "best case" and "worse case" scenarios before he made the decisions.

His recovery period for both surgeries was about 6 - 8 weeks each time, and your job should also have some provisions for your expected recuperation as well. Both with time off if needed, and possibly a "medical leave" with some sort of pay.

Best of luck going forward, but I am confident that you will make the right choice for yourself.

I'm definitely going to push for surgery, I want back on the course asap. It's been driving me crazy. It's funny, I can deal with the pain but it's the lack of golf that finally motivated me to see a doctor. 

Thanks for bringing that up, Tom. I hadn't thought about insoles so I'm glad you did. I know from looking over the chart in also going to need something with some good arch support to go with it. 

Sketchers are great.  When younger a number of years ago I did quite a bit of running and developed foot/heel pain.  At first they diagnosed a bone spur but then factored in some other symptoms and diagnosed planters faciatis.  It took quite awhile to get better.  Then a few years ago I became addicted (at expense of golf) to pickle ball and got to a pretty high competitive level and had another bout that put me down for  10 months.  I did get some inserts - I don’t off hand remember the brand but some stores will fit you based on your gait and type of pronation/supination. (After tearing up my knee I quit pb and shifted to golf).

In sitting in the parking lot at the podiatrist and out of sheer curiosity, decided to look online at the chart from my doctor visit. I was told from the general practitioner that I had a bone spur and I see that bad boy.

Wow Jason - hate to see this but sounds like you are going to have a good plan soon to fix this! Good luck!

Have been having issues with really bad knots in my rhomboids. Have been going to Chiro to try to help adjust and make sure muscles aren’t overcompensating. I carry my stress in my shoulders along with 20+ years of being a linebacker… so it is catching up with me. My aggressive golf swing is not helping either.

Well today, I did some acupuncture and Cupping. I must say, I felt some pretty significant release afterwards. It is not a cure all as it will take a few more trips, but well worth it to stay in the game. You can see the big bruise where my current bad knot is.

Started having weird pain in the wrist when rotating my arm. Cracks and pops each time. Doctor Google agrees that it's a TFCC tear. Most likely minor or partial.

Did some reading and picked up a wrist widget which has been helping with the day to day while I'm resting up from the gym and the sim.

I've had more injuries from golf than anything else active that I've done.

Hopefully it gets better else I'll have to explore the surgical option. The joys of aging, ey?

Somehow pulled a chest muscle at FedEx and it hurts to do almost everything right now.

Sleep is painful as well. No sim tomorrow which I was really looking forward to.

It's probably for the best if you take it easy. I know it sucks, but back injuries have a way of sneaking back up to you if you aren't careful. I hope you're feeling better soon!

I’ve been dealing with a left SI joint issue in addition to my l4/l5 spondylolithesis and stenosis.  Have been keeping the later in check for the most part through exercise, stretching and some yoga moves.  The SI started creeping in last summer with minor discomfort while playing.  Gradually got worse. 

I started winter workouts before Christmas and it really flared up.  Then I sched a visit to my ortho for this month that had to be delayed until end of March.  Took 3 weeks off from any exercise to see if rest would improve it and visited the Chiro a few times. Started working out again and immediately flared up.  So I decided to just restart the workouts and deal with it.  Much of my workout focuses on core so hoped strengthening would help.

I probably did 5-6 range sessions in January and a few more the first week of Feb.  While some discomfort, most is afterwards and doesn't impair the swing, until the last few days.

Sat did a routine range session and was doing fine (physically) with irons and woods with about 80 shots.  Took out driver, which I tend to not transition as good as I should - second or third shot, very sharp flair in the SI and could barely stand.  Got composed, tried 2 more with similar pain.  Then hit about 20 normal drives with no disruption of swing.

Went to range yesterday - irons and woods normal.  Took out driver and again sharp pain in left SI and fell down on my right knee. Did a couple more and couldn’t fully complete the swing.  Started to subside and hit a few more, each one better, but not good and finally quit.  Ughhhhh.
