Here's another revelation for ya.....as if everyone hasn't heard enough of my BS already..... Those giant bottles of 500+ generic ibuprofen are about 50% duds. I'm certain of it. The next time I get out I'm grabbing some Advil or REAL name brand stuff. When I take true ibuprofen I feel the relief come over me in about 15-20 minutes. But half the time I take that generic crap there's little if any relief at all.

You should have seen me doing Ketchup's shifty hip technique this morning 😂 My wife was like "What in Christ's name are you going through in there?!!!" I think she thought I was masturbating. 😂

Sorry. Oct.1-2 We're actually going down Thursday to Sunday. Thanks for catching that. 👍

"Common sense" he says 😅 Piper, if there was ANYONE on earth that could quickly fix a pinched nerve..... they'd be more famous than Sir Isaac Newton. THAT is what "common sense" SHOULD tell you. Hell I know how to "fix it"......Lop this €£¥π√π√ leg off and throw it across the road with the fish guts. But I'm not quite that desperate YET.

I have big Rubbermaid totes that I throw all extra gaskets in. They seal up reasonably tight, and the lids have rather heavy items stacked on top of them......but it doesn't matter. There will ALWAYS be gray spiders in them. Luckily my bride isn't freaked out by smallish spiders, so it's always HER JOB to go gasket diving. She says they aren't Recluses..... but bygod they are too ! It actually doesn't matter to me if they are poisonous or not.....they are SPIDERS and that's where the line is drawn. But WHY would a spider (any spider) want to be in THERE. Living things need substance and there's nothing to eat in there ! I guess it's just a place to hide and screw. A spider whorehouse with no bar or kitchen. Whatever, I wish they just didn't exist. Whoever "created" them was an idiot. 🙄

Oh hell no! The last thing I want in my life is to be stoned.....and in pain. I mean, what a buzz kill ! 😣

I tried the old pinch between the thumb and forefinger trick..... didn't work. Us wrench twisters have a muscle there that's probably denser than most guys biceps. 🙄

I've tried everything short of hanging myself from a tree by the neck, and nothing but constant motion gives any relief. As long as I keep moving I'm ok, but let's face it......a guy has to stop and rest occasionally or he'll eventually just flop over dead. When I recover from this I should be in good enough shape to kick all your asses at once. Chuck Norris style. Going on day 4 of 18hr. shifts. If I'm gonna be in pain regardless then I might as well be making money ! Right?

Well I have a powerhead rebuild to finish up, and another project to begin on tomorrow. But I'll have Sugarbritches make the call and see how quickly I can get in. If they say "c'mon up" then I'll break away and go.

I will brother, thank you. 👍

Left hip, middle/side of butt cheek. If I try to squat down that leg gets about halfway and then just goes uncontrollably limp. It's gonna cause me to topple over like a retarded gal in high heels if I'm not careful. Walking up stairs is pretty sketchy right now. Gotta put a death grip on the rail ! As long as my knee is locked straight I'm strong and steady.....but bend that knee and it wants to just toss me.

Alright, I'll give it 2-3 days, and if no relief then I'll break down and go. Here's the thing though......if I do and it doesn't help, then you'll say "Well he wasn't a GOOD ONE then". 🙄 The one I've been to twice in the past is supposed to be really good..... according to everyone around here. And he might be...... but the fact remains that I healed up in the same amount of time that I would have, if I had never gone to him in the first place. This kinda crap is SO irritating!

If either of you show up at the flyfishing shindig Oct. 2-3 please bring me some of that bee jiz. I'll have fly's, food, beer, whiskey, weed, and/or cash. 😉

Only if you believe in them. I think it's like religion. So see @BilletHead it IS all in your head. And faking it doesn't work. Pass that plate of crow over here again before you devour the last piece. 🤟

I'm on box #2 👍They do help.

Don't say that, it depresses me. Cuz right now I am the biggest poosay in the room. 😂

I know exactly what brought this one on. Earlier this summer I was kicking a wheel chock out from under a trailer tire and tore the tendon that runs heel-to-toe (Plantar-Facia or whatever it's called). So all Summer long I have had to favor that foot. The foot is fine now.....but the price for THAT is THIS. And OMG it HURTS ! 😭 This getting old BS ain't for sissy's, I'll tell ya that !

Ibuprofen takes the edge off ok, but I'm not comfortable with taking 4 of them every 3-4 hours. In those doses it ain't exactly good for your organs.

I've given chiropractors a try twice in the past. My review was that you can go to one and feel lots better in 3-6 days.......or you can NOT go to one and feel lots better in 3-6 days. I'm not convinced that they do anything other than put on a puppet show. If one could prescribe me a fistful of Tramadol I might consider it.

That's what Piper and my wife keep saying. But by the time I recover from that procedure wouldn't I have gotten over it anyway? It ain't like he's gonna pass a magic hand over it and put me back into paradise immediately.

Great! The mighty dove hunter feeds me crow. 😥 😅

'Which one of you witchdoctor sonsabitches is sitting there with a Wrench doll and a handful of hat pins ? OMG have mercy PLEASE!!!!! You're killin' me. 😣 What can I do? I'm doing double doses of ibuprofen, the pain patches, ect. I'm kinda ok as long as I'm up moving around, at least it's tolerable, but as soon as I try to sit and rest it's unbearable. Help!

Y'all just love to scrutinize every sentence poor ol' Oneshot posts, don't ya? 😅 If you paid that close of attention to MY posts you might actually learn something revolutionary. 😏
