Thanks. My sciatic nerve is very angry right now. I hope I can walk in the morning and drive…
I am with you. Have had back surgery and problems for years. I constantly have to get out and walk and stretch on any long trips. I have a gel pad I bought at Walmart that really helps me. Hope it doesn’t get the best of you.

Yep. Had an L4/5 fusion in 2016. I was really good until last couple months hoping I don’t have another disc deteriorating

Have fun and safe travels!!!

I've had back problems for years too. Even though I love the seats in my Ranger and they're super comfortable my back is killing me tonight. I've already popped 2 Aleeve and have the heating pad all fired up.

I use the heated seats year round. Probably more for my back than for heat in the winter. Heated seats are pretty much mandatory for me now.

I noticed one hiccup today from Ranger. After cruising a while when I hit some stop/go traffic it had weird low gear low rpm shifts. Loving the gas mileage. I’m not a speed demon..set cruise at 72 most of the day.

I had the same in 2019 and truly hope I never have to do it again. It was necessary, and helped immensely with the pain, but I don't wanna go through it ever again.
Take good care of yourself as long as you can!
