I have been reading about treatment for my back problem and I saw where it was mentioned that people can strengthen their bones by diet and medication. This PA that prescribed the back brace for six weeks didn’t mention anything like that. I’m wondering if it is even possible for 81 year old men...

I posted about my back on a defensive carry forum and was surprised at how many others have back problems too. Some of them are a lot worse off than I am so far. The reason I say so far is because of the fact that I didn’t really do the kinds of things that you would think would cause a...

I just got up to use the bathroom like I do five times a night and I noticed that I didn’t have any pain while getting out of bed and hadn’t had any pain all yesterday evening. I believe in God and our Savior Jesus Christ and am constantly praying for miracles and have received many. I’m hoping...

I know what aggravates my condition and causes pain. I have one of those molded plastic chairs like the kind the used to stack up on the sidewalk in front of discount stores. Hard to get out of an easy chair because I sink down in them. I try not to sit too long and stand up and walk around...

The back brace that I was issued does a good job of keeping my back straight while standing but it is cut too low in the front to use it to while sitting because it pokes me in the front when sitting. Hope that they can make an adjustment so that it will still come down as far in the back but...

Yes! I loved watching that show! Mrs Buu.Kay. Great cast on that show. RIP sweet Hyacinth.

What kind of tens unit do you have? From what I could find some massage and some have electrical impulse.

ER doctor put me on a Lidocaine patch and muscle relaxant and scheduled me a visit to see a back specialist. Can someone tell me if I can use a balm on my back in between wearing the lidocaine patch for 12 hours. The patch is supposed to be worn for 12 and then removed for 12. I have already...

Felt like the stretching was the answer but the pain and stiffness has come back with a vengeance. Plan on calling a pain doctor Monday and will be taking pain meds and using a muscle pain balm in the meantime. The pain must tire me out because I am able to sleep for a couple of hours two or...

That’s why they use machetes and knives and clubs. Maybe you should be comparing the number of violent deaths or people killed with any kind of weapon. Yes! PEOPLE GET KILLED EVERY DAY IN THE UK JUST LIKE THEY DO IN CHICAGO BUT NOT WITH GUNS! I get so tired of seeing all of the smug comments...

Thought I would do a follow up on how my back is doing. I have been taking naproxen - two 500 mg morning and evening. My wife has been rolling CBD liquid on the affected area three times a day. I found out what the affected area is called it is the gluteus medeus. Those muscles right at the top...

Looked up tips on how to prevent my mouth from getting dry and cruddy by morning. One suggestion I saw was to take a dose of vegetable oil before going to bed. Then I saw where people use oil for what is called oil pulling. Seems like when using oil for pulling you leave an amount of oil in the...

After reading this news account I saw two different stories about teens who used machetes to kill other teens from accounts being reported from the same court system. Looks like most of these cases are tried at the Old Bailey. Looks like a lot of cases are tried at the Old Bailey because it is a...

Okay will do! My younger son used to stretch his ham strings when playing soccer!

Thank You! I don’t get up and down off of the floor very easily at 81 so that complete version looked like it might be real challenge for me! I came home and carried everything inside and my wife said maybe I should take a muscle relaxant. I looked for and found an old bottle of them that were...
