Hi everyone: I started barefoot running three years ago and after a year had to quit due to cervical and low spinal stenosis. I had the cervical discs replaced (three level ACDF) and I have continued to walk barefooted (five miles this morning) and I am without cervical symptoms. I ran on Sunday, downhill on thick grass, about a kilometer, and then spent three hours in the car driving. My neck was and is fine, my low back did not like it much, but has settled down enough to do the walk this morning. I like to walk, but LOVE to run. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with running on top of lumbar disc disease? Dr Robert
