Re: The Getting Old Sucks Thread
Nobody knows anyone who used to have a bad back. I feel for those of you who are in constant pain. Mine is more of an annoyance than pain. My T4 is locked and it creates this uncomfortable feeling of needing a crack that is unattainable. And I've tried just about everything.
I used to get relieve by contorting my back and getting smaller cracks in the area. That gave me temporary relief. Now I need to do it almost constantly, my wife see's me working out in the yard and says I look like I have Tourette's |

Re: The Getting Old Sucks Thread
I've seen multiple chiropractors. I went through months of PT, doing all of their exercises and I bought a table so I don't hunch over on my laptop. After 2 months the therapist suggested a pain block as she has done everything she can. The block didn't help.

Re: The Getting Old Sucks Thread
Oh yeah, finished my last radiation treatment for my prostate cancer last Monday. A sometime stressful situation that has been going on since November is finally over. I'm going to go out and have myself a summer.

Re: The Getting Old Sucks Thread
In a 4 month period I was diagnosed with hyper tension, diabetes and prostate cancer. All while caring for my wife after she got her ankle replaced. Worst spring ever.
But it wasn't as bad as it sounds. The blood pressure was fixed with meds, the cancer was a breeze as far as cancer goes. The diabetes was a temporary thing, I was always pre-diabetic and I just got careless. By just cutting out soft drinks and the 3 Oreos I ate when I first get up I have dropped 20 pounds. Had I known that's all it took I would have done it years ago. I figured I'd have to give up beer, invest in kale and take up jogging. |
