Why

Post by jimjohson »

The reason I've not been posting much, or even been online much. I've had a new episode w/my back this time it's pinching a nerve in my left arm. Gettin' better but still hurts just to sit here and read, never mind type. Didn't want ya'll to think I've just dumped this place. Be back as I can, when I can.

Do be careful. I've been crippled by back pain at times, I know how bad it is. Mind how you sit, stand, and sleep. I got over mine by learning stretches, and being careful.
Sorry that you are in pain.

Ok, so it's just your back. Thought your wife had you tied up again. :o

Though really Jim, sorry to hear this and hope you get to feeling better soon.

Hope it didn't hurt to laugh a little. :clink:

Notice he didn't say HOW he hurt his back. Maybe his wife did tie him up, which caused the back injury... None of our business what goes on in his bedroom though... :laugh

Back problems stink Jim. I have a herniated disc in my lower back that flares up out of nowhere, sometimes pinching either leg's nerve which causes numbness, often limping, and is quite painful.

Rest comfortably, take anti-inflammatories, and stay off the booze (stomach won't like the combination). Make sure you continue the regime for many days after you feel better.
I have over 9,000 posts on "another forum", which means absolutely nothing. Mr. Beer January 2014 Brewer of the Month with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with it...

Hope you get better soon Jim!

Been fighting back problems since I was 15, so I know when the flare ups come it can be quite debilitating.

Hang in there, Jim. There's plenty of us here who can sympathize with you. If I told you all the conditions I have, you'd swear I was either a hypochondriac or a liar. Truth is, I'm just an idiot who abused my body for decades and must live with it now. I hope you feel better soon, at least for now.

I was wondering why you hadn't been posting. Hope it passes soon. Know anyone who has hot tub? That used to help ease pains when I had one.
