What did you accomplish today?

Bareback

Well-Known Member
I feel for ya man.
My back is still tweaked from a fall 3 years ago. It will probably never be the same again.

Doctor prescribed physical therapy but it's been my experience that those folks bring more pain than they relieve...
PT made a huge difference for me, I fill better ( most of the time) then I have in 20 years. I do hard physical labor ever day and being over 50 doesn’t help but with the therapy and stretching I can out work to or three of the younger guys. It may not be the answer for everyone but it helps me a lot.

That's great! I'm glad they could help.

After my rotator cuff rehab, I'll never go back...

I'm right there with you in the back department except there is no disk between L5 and S1 in my back. My vertebra randomly moves to a point where it pinches a nerve. I'm probably looking at cortisone shots again. It went out when I was getting out of my car to go in a store. At least I can walk using a crutch, we'd be screwed otherwise.
That sux. I never knew back injuries were this painful. The sharp pain and spasms are the worst pain I've ever felt next to teeth abscesses. I try to move as slowly and carefully as possible, but randomly I'll get a shooting pain that makes me scream out and see stars. It's like someone jabbed me right in the spinal cord with an icepick! Fucks with you mentally. I hope you don't feel this pain regularly, I don't think I could live that way...

I use a heating pad on the highest setting (close to burning) to get things to relax.

That's exactly what I've been doing! I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror yesterday, what a sorry sight it was - unshowered and unshaven for DAYS, I had a huge ace bandage wrapped around me with a electric heating pad strapped to my back. I had to plug myself in each time I moved to a new location, and unplug myself each time I got up. I had the cord draped around my neck so I wouldn't trip on it. Stinky, scruffy, pain-ridden, plug-in Tyler. Get yours today!

...Also broke, dead lazy, sigma(?) male laughs in utter fearlessness at his rival..

..or is it just a thin veneer, a simple facade to hide his low self esteem?
The alpha's nostrils flare. The air carries the plain pheromonal signature of the newcomer's refusal to properly submit. Ancient circuits deep in Alpha's nervous system align and energize. He shakes his head at the challenger: part added threat display, but mostly a self-test. Yes, his horns are up to the task that apparently will not be avoided. Endocrine gates open and slam shut as Alpha's physique readies itself for the most basic contest: percussive negotiation.

Look into muscle relaxants; esp with back probs, it's that spasms that exacerbate the condition

:clap:Okay I submit.. damn I might be getting the hots for you after all that..:hump::hump:

Lol thanks it was fun

Hormone levels returning to Sloth Factor One, Alpha slouches back to where the grazing was marginally better. He plops noisily onto the Cretaceous veldt and contemplates, for the Nth time, that if only his horns were prehensile he wouldn't have to bribe a fucking bird to pick his nose for him.
