Seldom is recovery linear. It seems that it gets a little better one day, only to backslide a little the next. On average it's getting better, you just may not be realizing it at the time. Manage your pain as perscribed. A lot of people try to "tough" it out, that's a mistake. They hold off till they can no longer stand it only to find the pain pills aren't working and they're needlessly suffering. You want to stay on top of it the best you can.

Well said! :msp_wink:

Brad, Nik, your oh so right.

As much as I hate to be doped up, and treated as a toddler, I have no choice. Without the medicine, im in pain and worthless. With the medicine, at least I'm not in pain. Lol.

Just gonna have to Give it some time, and heal up.

I don't know if i am the only one who noticed it, but she is smiling!!:rock: Between you being doped up and her having all the power she might start enjoying this too much. "I said take another one!" But honey, I just took one. "i SAID TAKE ANOTHER ONE!" At least she is smiling! Hope you stay smart, take it easy, heal up.

Hey Wiggs if you take to much of that stuff she'll have to sit you in the corner and let you slobber when you get goofy. That's what LP wants to do to me.

I hope you get better everyday it takes time. Please take it from a fool do what they tell you if not you'll not like it. Just ask me how I know!!!! Take care and hollar if we can do anything for ya.

Dang Wiggs!!!

I'm late finding this....

First off OWWW!!! Don't DO that!!
Just looking at the spinal shot hurt.

Heal quick and heal well, and keep checking in.

Dang..the thought of some three martinis and 9 holes for lunch Doc, whittling on my spine with a glorified dremel gives me the creeps.
Man that sucks!

Stay safe!

Hello Wigs,

I too just found this thread and am very sorry for my late attendance. Your mri was pretty bad to oversimplify it! Great to read you are back on track again!

Best wishes!
