    Have not posted in over 4 years

    I used to post here and the mens forums but got beat up pretty good there when I dared to talk about the elections. Even though folks here in these threads are quite a bit more easy going (it seems that dealing with health issues tends to temper us) I simply didn't want to deal with ppls...

    How not to feel guilty with chronic pain

    I get this. Its a work ethic that dies hard in our minds. I still work with all my physical issues but I know sooner or later I will lose the battle and not be able to work. Its hard to go from taking care of business at work and around the house to doing only what you can tolerate. It doesn't...

    Constant Back Pain

    There comes a time when you may find yourself at the door of a pain management clinic. I know folks how suffered for decades that finally went and gave the old college try and they are anywhere from not any better to out of pain. Ask you doctors about that path.

    Coping with illness

    Honestly...PT is getting tougher each visit. Now I know why I quit it yrs back but I need to increase my range of motion and strength. I additional pain has made me very short and somewhat intolerant of things I think are wrong. That's not to excuse it but I simply recognize it. There is a...

    Thats IT...He is good! No matter how "bad" it gets, He IS good. Today, this week, this month, this school year has been hell.
