Yes, that would be cool. It would probably take me a month to get there, or longer, lol

But, if you know of any good physical therapists or massage therapists, it might be worth it bigsmile

That's good.

Eric has a good idea, do you have a decent shower head, or one of those massage kinds?

It might not be as easy as that, but it wouldn't hurt.

Yes I do, which is great for muscles, not so much for a ruptured disc causing the left shoulder pain and tingling and numbness in the hand.

no stu it won't stop the deep pain but it will relax the muscles that are tensing up due to the pain and making it worse

Nope, I've had a headache for days now. Dr. Wackadoodle better give me my meds... or I don't know what I'll do or happen.

is there a reason why they can't or won't repair it stu?
i know fusion of even one is a huge reduction in range of motion. but is was night and day after mom had it done and she was actually missing the 1st one they built it. and she mostly has been trouble free since and that was back when i was a teenager. tech is way better these days

Yes, my orthopedic doctor said that with the advanced stage and aggressiveness of my DDD and arthritis that the next disc down will just blow, which it's going to do eventually anyway. He's afraid it's just a loosing battle. I have two more blown in the lumbar which causes great pain down my leg and has in turn screwed up my other leg from having to compensate when walking.. I'm almost back to using my cane

Stu, have you gotten a second opinion? Maybe another doctor might have a better prognosis.

Medicare won't cover it... even if he did, the others are just going to blow in time.. it's not worth the effort or money.

J, I can't tell you the number of doctors I've gone to over the years... it's always the same. I told you what the final outcome will be one day. It's just something I have to learn to live with and do what I enjoy as long as possible. Hate to sound negative about it, but I've pretty much given up.

just have him install a zipper at the same time to make it easier to install the next ones that give up. anything that make an improvement is worth it. and who knows you mind even qualify as a guinea pig for some new technique of material test
