:)Hi there my dear friend!

As a friend it hurts me to read about your pain issues,not only backproblems but headaches too..not good at all.But when i read this "for me to be more straightforward with the doctor"..well then i think your barking up the wrong tree...if you would have choosen to say something in line whith for me to be more straightforward with the MYSELF..well then i think you are moore "honest"to yourself noshow...Think and REALLY think about this and then answer me..Are you totally honest whith yourself?

Why i ask is because I know for sure that we humans always choose to take the "highway of life"instead of maybe checking out the "dirtroads"in life.It's always going to be easyer to ride the 4way lane highway then going driving on the tighter moore narrower roads...but you tell me were do we learn moore about "life"about ourself...going the easy way or the moore crokked way?

And now tell me in all honesty,what have you REALLY been doing when it comes to taking care (read REHAB)of yourself...poker does NOT count;)Walking with your son YES..what moore?

When you honestly can look at yourself in the mirror and say,i've been trying EVERYTHING in REHAB and nothing work..well then we talk moore ok.But i know brother that you are as stubborn as me and my whole family;)and that's means ALOT...it took me moore then 8 years of finding myself when it came to REHAB..stubborn as i still am i do stupid things and pay a high price...last time it took me 3 month in a wheelchair with enormous pains...meds and so on..now touch wood,i haven't had any of that now in moore then 2 years,pain yes but not as bad so i can't walk.

And i've just found The Remedy...10 minutes of streching my Gluteus Maximus and hamstrings in the morning.I bought a Cannondale Recument bicycle (Bent II)costed me an arm and half a leg but it's worth every singel bath...i can go for everything between 1-3 hours on it and yes i'll feel sore,very sore sometime..but it keeps me in desent shape mentally and physically...http://www.roadbikereview.com/Channels/RoadBikeReview/images/products/product_291182.jpg

So now noshow i want you to find out what is good for you,yes herbs can be good but NOT the cure for sure.I think you have to rewire yourself somehow and start totally fresh.Start with things like loosing some wheight,eat moore healthy,meditaion is great stress/painreleaver,atleast for me.Try ANYTHING you haven't tryed before..and go for it 100%,have a plan..and stick to it..Mr.Stubborn;)

So let's see now what you have for an answer to this,STOP,THINK and ACT..then answer me...HONESTLYLike i said/wrote before...i read you like a open book and you ARE NOT HONEST WITH YOURSELF...whitch is the biggest problem to overcome..the rest is a walk in the park.

Take care now and big hugs from us all here..we got a spare room if you want to come and vistit us sometime..door is always open here..well not for the cops;)atleast until i harvested everything;)
 
terrible storms

We are having terrible storms here. I am actually un-nerved enough that I can't sleep. So I will do my best to answer. I am sure your right. I haven't been honest with myself, and need to do more. Everytime I do more. like visiting family, and driving long way. Or even go for a walk with family. I suffer badly for it. Usually a few days in bed.I will write more when I can. That is it for now while I think. Tornado sirens going off time to leave...Ns
 
BLB

We made it thru my friend. We had a tornado pass thru just a few miles from me, and the main bulk of the storm that threw out the tornado went over me. I will be responding more in depth. I really didn't have the time last night. I was worried about the storms, and even awoke dreaming I was running from multiple tornados. Was the shit tho in my dream when I saw that cow get picked up, and thrown by the tornado. Feel bad for the cow, but he wasn't real. Will be back in a bit...Ns
 
first

BLB,

First let me say this. No matter what you do, or say. I know your a friend, and care. So rem that too please when I respond. I am not going to be rude but some may be negative in a way. I know you care, and wish to see me do better. I know it is getting worse here as it is getting colder. So this type of weather is not usual this time of year. Eitherway I know I have told you it isn't as easy to say as to do. We could have the same surgery, and the body reacts differently. The headaches are due to compression issues within my neck. My other issues the lower back as you know. Rem the day I told you about going to the park with the family? I spent two days in bed for it. Now I drove part of the way to see family. Part of the driving, and most of the riding. I spent half the time there sleeping, and the rest awake in bad pain. I am not on the strongest meds, but when they don't even feel like they help. I know it is bad.

Now honestly what have I done? Not a whole lot. I have done walks, and the park. I even force myself to go out, and do some shopping. Everytime as said. I suffer for it. Just the trips to the store are bad enough. I was in the situation recently where I had to stand for three hours. I can't imagine working for eight if I couldn't stand for three. Anyways so do I feel honest with myself? Yes I do. I know you don't know everything I have done, or tried to do. I do get out, but find it very hard to do much when I do get about. Not to be funny. I have a hard time putting on my socks, and wiping my butt. It leaves me gassed. Could I lose some weight? Yes I could. Yet even so I never had the troubles like I do now until the surgeries. One thing to consider is this. As for going outside. The summers here are brutal. I as a kid would go with my mom to visit relatives in Central America. The summers there are nothing like here. There they are okay. Here they are so brutally hot it is insane. I am worn out. I will try to write more later if needed...Ns
 
noshow..i do understand you 110%...How the heck do you think i feel when i can't have sex withmy wife because of the pain i get AFTER..and i like sex ALOT..but now i don't find it attractive at all,my wife yes, but me getting in bed and now for a fact what price i have to pay..hmm i do it but it's not like before.My wife do understand me but it leaves me incomplete as a man...5 minutes standing,yes 5 minutes is inuff standing for me and i'm a wreck,slow pace walking in the mall,same there..Getting up in the morning to do my streching works wonders for my stiff/acing back..i think i found out what's working for me,have you tried diffrent things to help you out noshow?

Walking,okey that seems to work "sort"of okey for you,make it a habit..and don't overdo it.
Standing in a line so you can get a "good deal",well why didn't you prepear with something to sit on?

"Part of the driving, and most of the riding"..riding as on a horse or what?And why did you do most of the driving when i guess your wife could have done that?

noshow,i'm in the "same"situation as you,but at the same time i'm have not been walking in your shoes..but you HAVE to find something that is good for you when it comes to try and help you out..But if you're not willing to listen i'm not going to want to peptalk you moore..It's your body and most of all it's your life..if you don't think you're "worth moore of trying"well that's up to you..you know that i care and that's it.

It took me 10 years to try and get my friend/and chairman for The Swedish Spinesupport Group to realize that he was hooked on painkillers and that he had to try and stop that otherwise something in his body is going to break.Well guess what happend this summer,he was force to call the ambulance in the middle of the night...terrible stomachpain...due to he eating to much painkillers,it killed his stocmack too...but not the pain.1 month of detox he is now on half the amount of painkillers and feeling much better...But like i said it took 10 years of me trying to tell him to slowdown.He admitted just recently that he knew that i was right and he was wrong but he could not stop on his own,the body had too

So now you now what you're up to noshow;)can you take 10 years of me giving you a hard time,if so be my guest..Honestly,noshow..you can find a way that helps you,try the "dirtroad"and see if you can find something that helps you and you family to a better life.

Medical Cannabis,yes can be to some help,but like i said before,not the cure.What you need to do is,in my eyes,sit down with your doctor and be honest,and you tell him to be TOTALLY honest with you.Make a plan together with him,stick with the plan..evaluate..change some things maybe,stick with it..And my personal favourite is this:Meditation,yes it's awsome to learn about that inner power we all can unlock if we are WILLING to try something new.To lay all eggs in the doctors hat/pam it's not the right thing..you do the driving but he reads the map,not the other way around...that's my take on the doc's roll in you're life.

So this said i wish you all the best in you're way of finding something that might help you to a better lifequality,but be honest to you're self first..that's the nuber uno thing..belive me i know firsthand..been there done that..did not work in the long run...

Love flyes your way brother in pain..
 
foremost

BLB,

I don't want to seem ungreatful to you. I am very greatful to have you as a freind. So I say this publicly. If I gave you reason to think I was upswet, or mad, or not taking of your advice in anyway. I am sorry to leave you to think that. I am not, and I know that your just doing it for my own good.

I will read more in depth, and talk to you in a bit. I smoked the rest of that nug I clipped on accident. I have been pain free for almost an hr or better. So when I feel more up to it. I will read more in depth when not so farcked in high...lol Four weeks early, and quick dried. This good is mns genetics? All I can say is WOW!!!...Be well BLB...Ns

to add: I will reread, and respond tomorrow when I come over. I am going home now though...Ns

I know you can take my words that's why i'm not shy to be alittlebit "harsh"when it comes to try and peptalk you,okey.No hard or bad feelings from my side my friend..i'm willing to admit that sometime when i try to peptalk someone i maybe sound and act/write in a way that some people tell me to take a hike..a looooong hike..well i'm willing to take that hike with you my friend..but only if you honestly think i've gone to far..okey.
One word from you..STOP..and i will STOP..no problems..but YOU tell me first if you really think you've done everything you can to try and get better.

Anyway,got some stunning pics for you later from my Hempy Bucket NHS lady and two moore in soil all looks stunning in my eyes,you tell me what you think.Have a safe trip back home..Yours only the pain in the ass friend;)

Ok I'll try

BLB,

I'll try to address this better now. If I was ever mad. I am the kind of person you'll know if you pissed me off. Now I am not mad at all. You may be at the worst a little pushy, but I also know that you have my best interests in your heart. I have tried to do more, and I have suffered great pain from it. Yet I am still trying to do more. I am doing more than I did a month ago. Yet I can say I don't see my recovery if good enough to do work. Could it be in a year? Well maybe less, and maybe more. I am not really coming down on my situation. I in my eyes are just trying to be realistic about it. You won't hear stop from me. That is until you I feel you cross that imaginary line. You haven't, and I don't see you doing so.

I have many people I know here, and have tried to keep in touch with most. I know I fall short many times. Though I do try. I also have a handfull of those I talk to quite frequently, or more often. You are one tho that I consider a very good friend, and I appreciate your concern. So no worries here. I think as far as my injuries, and work, and all of that. You know I am stubborn as a pile of rocks. So I will come around. It is just right now not really all that possible to do to much. It is quite painful, but I can say this. When I have better days. I go further than normal with my exercise/ When I can't. I don't do much, but exist. Somedays it is harder to do much, and those days I don't push it. Sometimes thoe days I hurt badly from little things. Like a wrong move etc..Now the days that I feel better. I do like the park thing, and other family things. I am not a couch potato by any means. Just those days are when I suffer greatly. So the cycle goes on,a nd on. I feel I now when I can, and can't do something. Right now though there are more. I can't days than I can days. When my body allows I do more. Rem that day I told you about the park?, and falling into that little hole, and busting up my back(aka suspension)...lol. I spent almsot three days in bed. So I am trying, but we will see how it goes. Thank you for gving a shit. It helps, and makes a difference. Be well...Ns
 
Noshow I wish you the best. We haven't talked in a bit but I've been following the thread. Any good poker games lately?

I don't know if I mentioned this before but I went to dr and discussed my recent MRI. He thinks the course of action for me is a steroid type shot (unsure of name) then surgery and lastly replacement of my knee. I know it's not cortisone and he described it as more of a lubricant. They also noticed that my femur at the bottom is not properly aligned and that it's twisted. I'm currently talking with others who have had similiar shots to see if that's what I want to do.

Hi RF

RF,

Good to talk to you again. I do not believe that you mentioned the shot. Not sure, but what I received was an epidural steroid injection. In my case by the second one. I was in more pain than good it did. I think it actually more harm than good.

With your issues. You need to ask yourself this. Will the possible good outweight the bad. If you leave it alone. How much worse will it get? Is surgery worth it etc. As well as asking yourself if you can live with the pain. How far would you be willing to go to get rid of the pain?

Whatever the level of pain. You will have to live with it, or take the chance to try, and get rid of it, or reduce it. I hope it works out for you, and keep in touch. Let me know if you wish how the DR goes, and what you decide. I would like to know. It is good that you have some herb also to help you thru this. Now rem this also. How hard will it be to tend the garden after this surgery. I know with a bum wheel it will make it tougher. Any decision you make let me know. If I can help with any ideas as to anything. Let me know. I'll be glad to...Ns

Again I have to say. It may be time for another break. I tried before, and stayed away only for three days. I had been having a bad headache. It is fazing in, and out right now. I do have one again, but earlier it was bad enough that my right eye I was getting blurry vision. It was like a line from top corner to bottom corner, and just that line the vision was blurry. It came on for about two hours, or so. It has subsided enough for me to be here a bit. These headaches seem to be getting more frequent. If anyone has any ideas. Let me know please. I think it is time for me to be more straightforward with the doctor. Or maybe ...well what I am trying to say is get my point across as to how these headaches are affecting me. He doesn't at current think they are too seriosu. Sorry I just can't function well enough to think what it is I wanted to say. Be well all...Ns

A friend of mine gets headaches like that. They are not migraines, they are cluster headaches. I don't know if thats what you got, but, I thought I would let you know. Hope you feel better bro.
 
hello

Hi Josh,

I think the headaches are related to spinal issues. Although any headaches that get bad like that suck. With mine they start in the vack of my neck. I actually have some issues in the c-spine. It feels like a disc is bulging out. Then I start to feel pressure back there, and it comes up in a small line over the top of my head, and down to the forehead. If it gets that bad. If that far it then creates tremendous pressure in the forehead along that little line on top of my head back to the disc area. Yet I wasn't liking them I wasn't as worried about them until this last one were I started losing vision because of that pressure.

I don't know if I described it right. Yet whatever your friend is facing is not fun I am sure. I wish I hadn't lost those seeds years ago. I had actually found a strain that relieved headaches well. I had an oz after harvest season I had picked up. Smelled so good, and I had a headache. Everytime I smoked it made headaches worse. So I waited, and waited. Finally I said screw it, and smoked a bowl. Didn't realize until later the headache was gone. I wish I still had it. Oh well...Be well, and I hope our friend finds thier much needed relief...Ns
 
TIME

Hi All,

just wanted to take the time to say a few words. Until I have a major sucess if it happens. I will stop posting in the poker thread. As for me, and here. i will be taking a more relaxed way, and imiting my time here. So I will have more time to heal my mind, and body. I have realized thru friends, and common sense. That I have not done for ME. If i don't take that time. I may lose all chance to recover enough than to be a fekkin couch potato in pain all the time. So if I don't take the ME time. My most important piece of me. My SOn will suffer, and that isn't fair. So for now unless a major issue comes arund. I am done in this thread. I wish it ti stay. Some links, and discussions here. Really helped me, and I think also some other patients, and pain. Thank you all who read, and if you have something to add. Or just stop by. By all means post it. Yet I will be sticking more to pmn's for the time. Thank you all for your kindness, and help. I am greatful to you all, and keep in touch friends...Ns

They did that to me too. It took a week of severe pain to get over it. I'm not letting them do that to me again.

Same for me. If it gets really bad, I go white, start sweating, often accompanied by vomiting and diarrhoea.
My chiropractor told me that he has only seen one other guy as bad off as me. He was 70. He said, "you're a walking miracle". (I've always suspected as much, but probably for different reasons.) I said, "and yet I can still pick you up and hold you over my head and throw you away". I was a bit pissed off with him. You shouldn't say things like that to a patient, he might believe you.
