Chef Jim Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 No. The last time I didn't piss myself. I spotted. Getting old sucks. But look at the bright side, all you know of Hemet is the sign on the way to Palm Springs.

Steely Dan Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I had a car accident some years back that left me with disc problems in my lower back..... Well last monday I am getting dressed for work....bend down to pick up my work shoes and BLAM.....my back goes out and I fall on my face...... - Couldn't get out of bed (for anything yuk) for like 4 days - ER shoots me full of demerall and tells me to follow up with an ORTHO and physical therapy (Great...takes about 2 weeks for me to get a appt around here) So here I am using up all my sick and vacation time trying to nurse myself back to health and not doing a good job...and a friend of the family takes me to a Chiropratic (never been to one before) that charges $25. a session. He puts me on the table....and I am fricking lop sided......he says....lay down flat. I respond with "I am laying flat" He sees the problem immediately....one of my bulging disks had moved in a way that it was pinching a nerve in my back.....basically making me invalid. He works he way up to it and cracks my back and the pressure was instantly relieved...he did a coupe of other adjustments on me..the whole thing took like 15 minutes and told me to see him today. I left there able to walk....very sore but back on my feet. God I hate laying in bed. Awesome! Chiropractors are fairly controversial. I guess you're a believer now.
Chef Jim Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 There's a sign? Oh I'm sorry. It doesn't say anyting about Hemet. I thought it did.
GG Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Welcome to the herniated disc fraternity. Now you too can start a crusade of telling people to take care of their backs after car accidents, because the symptoms won't appear for a year after the accident. But seriously, consider acupuncture. It's the only thing that worked for me so far. No surgery yet.
BuffaloBud Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I am a diabetic.....I found out a while back when I was trying to go back into the military (National Guard). I have to check my levels every day, take meds, and keep a healthy diet. While working out a less frequently (I used to be a 5 day a week guy.....was down to every other day now) one thing that I stopped doing that I should not have was the stretching that my PT said would keep my back limber and strong. I should not have done that and i paid for it. Give yoga a solid consideration. I've been in class a couple of times a week for the past 2 years and my golf game has improved greatly. Not that it was great to begin with, but . . .
