Back Pain
 

I am intimately familiar with all of these symptoms, both with my wife, and to a lesser extent, myself.

Do not discount the power of chiropractic through all of this. Also, Flexoril is a wonderful, wonderful medication. I use it to relieve simple tension and stress PRN.

Good luck. We're all dieting at our house, so I understand the issues involved.

"You know what bitch? You better back the fuck up. I mailed it on the 2nd. The post office must have lost it. SO FUCKING SORRY. I mailed Rho's disc on Monday. So if you don't get it this week, JUST WAIT LONGER. I copied Rho's disc on to my computer before I lestened to it, JUST TO GET IT OUT ON TIME because I didn't get it until 2 or 3 days before.

So unless you feel like me skipping your ass altogether, quit yer bitchin."

this is a direct quote from OC to me. wow, that back pain must REALLY be bad.

Get thee to a chiropractor. Most insurance will cover. They will want you to come 3x per week for three weeks then 2x/wk for 2 weeks then 1x till you are dead. Just go along with their plan but you don't need to come back after the pain stops. Sounds like a classic pinched nerve. They will relax the muscle with electrodes and adjust your back to give the muscles a chance to stop spasming (most likely the source of the pain). After a few of these, you should start feeling some relief if its what it sounds like.

I've been to the doctor for back pain and all they do is throw drugs at it. I hate that.

And staceyv - I won't discount your issue with OC but I have a major problem with your post in this forum. You can communicate with OC via email or PM and there is already a place where issues related to that topic can be discussed - your post does not belong in this forum, imho.

Beestie, don't ruin this for me! I was looking forward to a good flamewar! :)

How's that? :D

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Not the place for this StaceyV, do yourself a favor and edit your post, you can reply to it in the original. Let's keep the peace here because both of you will regret it later.

And when the fuck did I become the voice of reason around here? Must have missed a memo.

P.S. I like you both thats why I want you to kiss, make up and stick around. We don't need 2 more idiots starting some other suck ass forum with the other 2 people that actually hang out with them.

And oh yeah, about back pain, I don't deal with it much but when I do I am a very unhappy boy. Nothing like nonstop pain to make you pissed at the world.

What was GOD thinking when he designed us anyhow? And once you get old enough to really get into the back pain, then the knee thing starts to kick in.

Not only that, but we want to watch, too.

For young people, how do try to prevent back and knee pains?

we want to watch
 

Yeah, that would be a bonus.

Man, I was *SO* disappointed with that link.:haha:

When I was 16, I screwed up the discs in my lower neck (7th & 8th), and suffered for 2 years with my hands going to sleep any time they were above my chest, like driving. Then a guy I met took me to his chiropractor who gave me a quick adjustment and in 5 minutes I was cured. Shazam!
Fast forward a few years, 300 miles, self abuse and a couple motorcycle accidents and I'm hurting again. I go to 3 different Chiropractors and get treated, twice per week, for months. They did heat, ultrasound, poke and prod, but no help.
I contacted the guy that took me to the chiropractor origionally and he told me to find a graduate of the Palmer School in Davenport, Iowa. I contacted the school, got a listing in this area, went to see him. Yeah, Shazam, baby. ;)

Fess up. You don't give a good goddamn about whether or not they make up. You just want to see them kiss.

Lift with your knees, not with your back, and get on welfare early so you never have to work, particularly by doing anything that involves heavy lifting.

Well, Onyx, I can understand why you've been irritable. Even as I write this, my boyfriend is laying in bed with an ice pack on his back. I just gave him 3 aspirin and rubbed this Swiss stuff from the health food store all over his back. He is not exactly Mr. Sunshine himself at the moment. I'll forgive you if you forgive me.

Sorry, I do really like them both for different reasons, and if they don't knock it off I'll show them what pissed really means. That said, I would like to see that, what like you wouldn't?

I like OC because she's a tough, beautiful, intelligent chick...I do NOT like the purple thing.

I like Stacey because she's open, stupid, kindof hot and sticks around when she gets ripped on.

I feel for you OC. About 3 years ago I fucked my back up at work. When to a chiropractor and all, but 3 years later I still deal with pain on a daily basis. Some day the pain is low enough I can ignore it and other days I cant move without a huge amount of pain shooting up my back and down my legs. I never filed a workers comp claim and I wish to god I had. I buy those ThermaCare back heat things all the time, and sometimes wear them to bed. God I love those things, often 10 hours later they are still putting off heat. I wish you a speedy recovery because I know how shitty back pain can be. Hope you feel better.

Deal! And I sure hope you feel better soon!:)

stupid:confused:

Sorry, not in that sense, stupid meaning you went overboard with your personal problems here when you first joined....actually you seem like a fairly bright chick, but made some STUPID choices.

Didn't you notice I called you hot too?

you said i was "kind of hot" and onyxcougar was "beautiful":violin:

Oh cripes, ok, OC is the kind of girl I'd like to get to know and bang all weekend.

You are the kind of girl I'd like to party with and bang all weekend.

Is that fair enough?

you mean i'm the type of girl you would use for cheap sex, and you would buy OC jewelry and take her on vacations, right? i am SO insulted now, you BASTARD!;)

HA! I wouldn't buy either one of you jewelry, and if I ever take an actual vacation I'm going with my buddie, my dog. I would have cheap sex with both of you however, that is if I can get my wife to buy into it.

Better late than never
 

Sorry I'm a little late on this thread.

I have to slipped disk in my lower back from a car accident a few years ago. My back will spasm every once in a while and I can't move without extreme pain. What I have found that will get me to start walking again, immediately, is to do back stretches. It get's me to a point where I can walk and get on with life without extreme pain and I can get through the day.

I now do back stretches everyday to get it into top form. Since my wife left, I decide that I would get it back into shape and start getting an active life going.

And on the side note, I'm free for any banging that needs to be done. But truth be known, I rather just take a girl to the movies and walks through the park than any "banging.". Yeah, I'm pretty pathetic right now.

Re: Back Pain
 

Ah, I have a great suggestion for that: belly dancing! Yep, I said belly dance. Trust me, doing certain dance exercises will strengthen any back and any tummy. I can PM you with some ideas, if you like.

I was told to lose 100 pounds, start controlling my PCOS (to help me lose the weight and prevent diabetes) and start walking a mile a day +.

What is "PCOS"? And yeah, you don't wanna have diabetes. Take it from someone who's had it for 11 years. :p

No, it's ok. Thanks for the info.

I haven't had a period in well over a year, but that's because of me being on dialysis. I don't miss it one bit! LOL.

I heard somewhere that PCOS makes it very hard for a woman to conceive. Is that true? And if so then you were very lucky to have been able to have as many kids as you have.

Keep your weight down.

Exercise regularly - especially exercises that build a strong core - abdominals etc.

Sit in chairs with no arm and no back. You will learn to hold yourself erect using only your core muscles.

Good luck.

You sure it wasn't from "christening" the new bed?:blush:
