Eugene @Spike188 . look into infrared light therapy . Sports medicine is using it post surgery to aid in oxygenated blood flow to the area promoting heeling of the blood starved nerves from being compressed for so long .I recently bought one for my back and one for my wrists. I am hoping to avoid surgery . These are the ones I bought . I did not get the top of the line ones until I see how it works . I can tell you , the warmth it generates feels so good that if thats all it does it was worth the investment .

Amazing the gadgets they have nowadays. I’d like the heat from them. Would be nice to have a pair of coveralls that would heat top to bottom. Maybe they do,

Wishing you a speedy recovery Eugene @Spike188
(With as little discomfort as possible...)

@Spike188 My wife and I have both had that done. Throw the shovel to the back of the shop and forget about it for now. Thank goodness for our tractors to get the snow cleared! Hope you heal up quick.

@propane1 I used that piece of PVC pipe on the blade of the 446 last year and it worked really good, even in gravel. By the end of the season it finally broke so I need to put a new piece on here pretty quick.

@Spike188 Good luck with the recovery. Another source of infrared light is going to Florida for the winter. It has the added benefit of being 70F.

I took the afternoon off and worked on my tractor. The rain within the past 24hrs left us with 58F weather. This is about 15F warmer than it's been lately. Last week I pulled off my deck and put on the Johnny Bucket. I'm planning to improve the wire harness I made last spring. Today I worked on replacing the TCV inline flexible joints, looking for a hydraulic leak or two and cleaning in the tower and TCV area.

Spike speedy recovery to you. Dave let us know how the red light therapy works out for you. I’ve read many articles about how the surgery worked for awhile then the pain came back. I also am starting to experience the numbness, which I experienced today after peeling 10lbs of potatoes for Thanksgiving. I really do not want to get the surgery done and am looking into the red light therapy. Harry
