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.

Ouch, sorry to hear this. Get well soon, take care of yourself.

Aww man I hope you feel better soon, JJ. Had a feeling something was up since I hadn't seen you on in a while.

That stinks Jim. Hope you feel better soon.

Get well soon JJ!

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

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

Hope it didn't hurt to laugh a little.

Are you seeing anybody about it Jim?

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...

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.

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.

Yeah V.A. this is just a new twist on an old problem. I'm guessin' it's gonna be awhile before I can get an appointment. I know not to drink and that part really sucks, got a beer that should've been ready Sat.

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.

Hope it gets better soon and the .gov people will get there stuff together so you can get in for an appointment.

Best wishes for a quick and full recovery!
