I would say about 7-8 years now? Time flies. I'm 34 now and am in decent shape. No symptoms sounds promising! For me I get the back pain (relatively painful at times) and numbness and tingling down my leg. Pretty clearly that can be rather difficult to deal with at times. Playing hurt or dinged up is one thing, but the numbness is a whole other!

I just find that staying in shape is key. I know the other poster mentioned yoga and I really should take that on as well. I find that core exercises make a big difference and between those and some active-release therapy I had my best pain and symptom management.

That is awesome if you can recover to 100% though! Honestly though, even with symptoms you can still do things. Just buckle down and work through (IMO). Expect to be stiff and walk like an old man after hard sports, and it is what it is!
