Sorry to hear that. Have you tried all medical avenues or waiting on anything else? I went private recently and financed the cost, so I recommend that if it's an option at all. 

The former. I'll come out and potter for special occasions (read: twice in the last year, both at Rad ), but my back problems got ridiculous so I'm limited to somewhat tame MTB on a full suspension bike now. The result is that it's quite a bit better in general, but as soon as I push too hard it kicks off again.

I've joined all the ones I can find, and check them regularly. I'll have another look through though!

Does that mean you're not riding, or just isolated from the groups?      They decided they weren't interested in playing ball with the UK government's law. I can't remember what it was called, but it's been in the running since the Conservatives, and Labour pushed it through. Online Safety Bill, or something. So any forum hosting pictures, all gone.  I read a post on reddit not long ago along the lines of, "what gets put on the internet stays on the internet, and look how wrong we were". Google clearing old cache, Internet Archive struggling to keep some items online, who'd a thought?!      Anyways, thanks for the updates. Nice to see familiar names pop up. I guess the death of the desktop computer helped kill forums too, with phones requiring far too much effort to cross post, link, embed, etc. The ability to post clips instead of videos did help devalue the content, so a partial reason why I lost interest I think as well. I did have a few goes on some modern mods not long back, but those short rear ends just kill it for me, I can't even ride a short rear on the bmx without going all over the place. 

I'm pretty sure it was 1025mm / 375mm rear / 25mm bb / 72* HA. That's the one I rode and favoured over any other Inspired geo.  Truly a steal at that price. Enjoy!
