Great write up and advice, Alex! Thank you for sharing. I also burst my L4 in my early 30s - and would echo the previous comment on lumbar support. PT was my solution to stop the pain within the first year, but longterm behavioral + posture changes are important, too. Nowadays I'm very cognisant of how/where my elbows meet arm rests, how long I put any weight/forward leaning onto a desk, and make sure I move my leg positions (I have a tendency to curl my legs and feet under the chair like some sort of coiled snake 😅). Wish you all the best on your path to recovery!
Excellent insight and analysis, Rich. If Valve can jettison Windows from the "PC in the living room" future Microsoft execs are trying to press release into existence, it will be quite the coup. All the more a surefire strategy when Microsoft's only tactical levers seem to be raise prices and/or fire people for AI bubble stock moments.
