Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / February 2006Quick question: How many T sufferers ride a bike a lot?
I ride everyday, and I wonder if the low handle bars are causeing neck stress. They certainly could be. So can you find some stretches to do after you have finished your ride?

It is sold by prescription in Norway, apparently because it is effective medicine. I think it does help the neck. I'm also sure raising the handle bars on my bike helps my neck. The doctor also sent me for an MRI, which revealed significant degeneration of the surfaces around C7 enough to cause nerve problems. So the doctor sent me to a physio, who has taught me a number of exercises to do to strengthen my neck muscles. These are proceeding. So far, unfortunately, none of this has lessed the tinnitus. It might be worse, actually. But I will stick with the program anyway, since further degeneration of my neck can't be good. Glucosamine is still available over the counter in Australia. But that may change in the future. Some good news there. Stick with the exercises. But after the strengthening ones do some stretching ones too.

But I will stick with the program anyway, since further >degeneration of my neck can't be good. i use one of those magnetic tension uprights... sometimes it cuts down on my ringing. of course after i've rested it's back. so that 'lean' may be the cause... i know when i started using a cane to walk with and it was a bit low my shoulder would be arching upward and the side i used the cane on would be where all the pain started. they always go on about good posture so it's probably a good chance it is.
