Loading after neck surgery?

Foot powered down spring return. Easy day.

Yeah, theres an idea. Hydrulic up & pedal down. I kinda doubt a sping would extract a case from a sizer without a little help.

I feel you OP, two and a half years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and they removed my c6, replaced with someone else’s bone and bolted it in with titanium. My pain was gone almost overnight but recovery was slow. I didn’t get into the reloading room for a few months. The chemo pretty much took the want out of me anyways. Now, I live a pretty normal life day to day and am considered in remission.

The rest of the story. Physical therapist promises she can whip me into shape in 2 months. Until then I am exercising, and looking forward to loading again.

You mention a lot of restrictions, might want to consult your doctor or physical therapist.

FWIW - I got diagnosed with spinal stenosis that my neurosurgeon deemed inoperable (Choose your parents carefully) which forced early retirement three years ago.

Sporadic back spasms that dropped me to my knees was almost forcing me to stop reloading but neurosurgeon and physical therapists both were optimistic that I may improve my condition to resume activities of daily living, including reloading. With physical therapy that brought me to near tears (And I laughed through Army boot camp) with endless planking, I have happy news that back spasms have stopped and now I guard my back/lower back/neck with utmost care.

One of many reasons I chose the adjustable top Husky bench from Home Depot was being able to infinitely adjust the height for comfortable and well supported sit down reloading I do with an office chair that supports my back well - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...-unlimited-budget.912629/page-2#post-12474182

What I found was even though I set the bench at comfortable height, some times I need to adjust the height a bit more to be comfortable. Perhaps this will help with your situation.

Please share your thoughts.

Recoil when shooting a 12ga may cause issues? Hope not. The 410 can be a big help, if shooting skeet.
For rifle, strap on recoil pads help .
