I get told its referred pain, nerves that originate from the spine and feed different parts of the body, but I never get backache, funny that...

Take it easy for awhile Neil...

I have not heard of referred pain, I collapsed once before and my Doctor sent me to see the physiotherapists at my local hospital but all they said was that it's because of my back which has fused vertebrae in six places.
(caused by a head on collision when I was 17, I was on a bicycle and was hit on my side of the road).

Because of the damage to my nerves in the lower back I get the weirdest feeling it's like my legs aren't part of me, most strange it is.

There is no cure for it but it will get worse, something I have to look forward to.
Getting in and out of my ZTT is a nightmare because it is so low.

Currently I am contemplating selling it but I don't want to, it's a lovely car and drives superb, plus it goes very well.
It has very little rust underneath even though it has done 141,000 miles and sits outside in all weathers.
But she's mine bought and paid for!
