Pinched nerve

[dan hufferd]

It sounds counterintuitive, but riding my bike always seems to help. In about two sessions I'm feeling better.

I'm covered in work or I would come up and help you. I'll try not to drop stuff behind the transom this time

It's me.  Seems to be working even better than I'd hoped for.😲

Just have Sugarbritches kick you in the nads 3 times and you'll forget the other pain.

You've got nothing to lose but the pain... maybe try laying on your back on the floor, then bring your knees towards your chest and try to curl into a ball like a Pill Bug, then sort of roll forward and back on your spine.  See if that releases whatever is being pinched:

Another manuever that can ease back pain is to lay on your back on the floor or bed, bend your knees ~ 90 degrees with your feet flat on the floor, then lift your hips toward the ceiling as high as you can.  Hold for 30 seconds.  My father-in-law does this.

OA needs a new section for well-intentioned but potentially dangerous medical advice.

On a semi-related note, did you hear the one about the epitaph on a hypochondriac's gravestone?

"I told you I was sick!"

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?

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.  🙄

Wacky tobacky. You ever hear about Snoop Dogg or Willy Nelson complaining about body pains? 😁

Oh hell no!  

The last thing I want in my life is to be stoned.....and in pain.  

I mean, what a buzz kill !   😣

Maybe we all need to start a Go Fund Me page to get some common sense for our buddy Glen or at least another fly rod
