[RC] lower back problems - Double 8 RanchI'll join in and say that I have all five discs (L 1-5 and even S1) that are bulging. Besides taking lots of anti-inflamatories when I ride (and vioxx on a daily basis) I have found two really critical elements in making it more tolerable. That would be a saddle with a stirrup position that supports you and either EZ-Ride or Cloud stirrups. Personally, I use the Clouds since they have the broadest base for your foot and therefore provide more support. You know, the foot bone is connected to the leg bone and so forth. It really does make a difference for me. Just something to consider. (also a horse that doesn't jig/prance around a lot!). That wreaks havoc on my back.
