Pinched nerve

This thing is actually great.   For 60.00 everybody should own one.  And you can't even cast a shadow on the door at a doctor's office for that.

 

Definitely put a stop to my sleeping problem.   5 minutes of this and I'm sawing logs.     

Trust me.   Get ya one ! 

It's gotta be better for you than gobbling pain pills and muscle relaxers.   👍

 

I'm not so sure that the full moon isn't making it worse.   I've heard people that have migraines suffer worse during the full moon, and I always thought that was BS......but I'm starting to believe when you have an ailment of this type there's something to that.

But what the hell is a doctor gonna do?   Prescribe me the same pain pills that I already have ? 

Well they helped me with physical therapy.
 

I don’t do pain pills. I’d rather be in pain that turn into the person that pain pills creates. I can guarantee you that I will never be addicted to pain pills.

They tend to forget to tell you just how bad the constipation can get when you are on steady diet of narcotics.

If there is anybody here that should have been addicted to opiates I'm a candidate.  But nope.

I've had seven orthopedic surgeries and had to take them for while after each of them.  To me at least, they really don't stop pain they just make you not care.  And also not poop.  The anesthesia does that to me too.  Terrible problem to go through but worth it to get well afterwards and still be able to live a normal life.

Hate those things.  And what they've done to a large swath of our country.

Pharmaceutical drugs are bad news. When I was 17 I saved a girl's life that ate a fistful of Quaaludes and tried to swim across a strip pit.   If you're familiar with Quaaludes then you know that a "fistful" is only 3.   They don't make them anymore.....for good reason. 

If I get a severe laceration, get shot, or break a bone then I'll go to a doctor/hospital right away......but I don't like the idea of going for some inconvenient ailment so that I can be medicated.   I grew up in a house that had the latest PDR on the coffee table, and prior issues on the bookshelf.    There hasn't been a truly beneficial medication invented since penicillin.....and they couldn't even leave that one alone.

Sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do, no doubt.    Especially when you work for a company that will just replace you if you're absent for a period of time.   

The human body has amazing healing abilities though, and I am a firm believer that if you can allow it time to heal itself then you are way better off.   Personally I'm more comfortable trusting that then I am trusting "health professionals".   And nobody can fire me for not making it to work, so......

They was giving me some medication to cope. It was much better dealing what was going on in my mind then dealing with the medication.

Oh geezzzz. Next thing this group will be reading is: “Damit guys, this massager worked so good that i strapped it to my winkie and holy heck, my back is cured. My pecker hurts like hell now, but the back is fixed.”

Very next thing we will read “holy moly, my willy hurts so bad I actually “prayed”for it to stop, or for god to rip it off”.
