Heh, I was even beyond the chiro's skillset. Had a pantload of epidural shots as well (try having a needle directly pierce your sciatic nerve, you will no longer fear anything this side of hell, and shall have earned my respect) but I just had to let it settle itself out. Some days I can walk just fine, some it seems I can barely gimp myself to the ibuprofen. It is a lot better than about 5 years ago, though.

Have you tried a chiropractor yet Sam. I had the same problem about 30 years ago. Had two surgeries on my neck and shoulder. No relief. Finally went to chiropractor and I'm fine.

Chiro got me back up standing straight. I love mu chiro. Not in the biblical sense but love him all the same.

Yes & No. I have had my Chiropractor work on my arm & shoulder. Both my regular MD and the Neurosurgeon have both told me NOT to let a Chiropractor anywhere near my neck issue. And my regular MD is a fan of Chiropractors...

From laying brick so long I developed a pinched nerve in my back that made my left arm and shoulder hurt and ache constantly. Had two surgeries and nothing. Was getting steroid shots in my shoulder every three months. Finely seen a chiropractor and within 2 weeks I was pain free. I go every 6 months now.

Your issue is not something I would let my chiro deal with.

I am monthly. He calls me butter back.

I believe in them. My chiropractor was a nurse for years. So I trust him. But he has kept me up and running.

Yeah, the timing on all this sucks.
I am the only person that can handle this. The other sales people that are working for me right now are "order takers". I inherited them from a company that we bought. I am hiring 4 more "real" salespeople 2nd quarter this year, but that doesn't help me now.... I will be hiring these people, so I know I will be able to find some quality people.

Most bricklayers as they get older have neck and back problem. My shoulder will hurt every now and then. But over all I'm pretty lucky. My legs are my weakness. Hip replacement and knee replacement. Plus my right leg was crushed and they had to replace a lot of the bone. I'm a cyborg on my right side. I set off airport alarms. TSA hates me!

Roofers are the same way. There is a couple of crews of Amish roofers I see at my Chiropractors pretty regularly.

Did that happen at the steel mill???

 

[Snapdragon]

Home safe and sound. There was a light glaze of ice on the roads. Just west of the IL/IN state line on I80 I saw about 8 police/fire/EMS vehicles. In the midst of it I saw a little black car, flipped and smashed beyond recognition. Praying for the driver, because I don't know how he/she could have gotten out of that alive.

 

[Birds Away]

Happy you made it, Snap.

Holy crap. Loading mags takes forever. Loading to capacity or near capacity eats up about 400 rounds.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

Sam, have you tried acupuncture?

One reason I'm so over pistols. I ****ing hate loading mags.

Yes, but I fill all the mags at home and do no loading at the range. It has its plusses and minuses.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Nope. Waiting to see what the Surgeon says this Friday...

Have you ever tried them with vanilla pudding mix?
