hey matts..havent kept up on the spine decomp technology. i recall the drx9000, but there was some controversy around that. kaizer brought in some non-surgical tech, but i cant sem to find it. perhaps they had the 9k and removed them.
Steve I haven't read the entire thread but from someone who could write a book on dealing with pain, I hope you can find some comfort very soon.
When you do write that book, Rick, on pain, Lord knows you've been thru more than 99.999999999999999% of pain ridden authors versus Life.... Only 1 Question, can you break out the stick figure art, for the cover, and every new Chapter Page, too, hopefully with a gallery of stix pix in the middle of that Novel........ speaking of pain, hope your not in any....... and doing well......!!!
I am my friend, the shoulder has healed nicely. and with the exception of a bad right knee (putting off surgery as long as possible) All is well in Ricky land. My very best to Kim.
Thank you... short version... constant extreme pain in my feet, told I have plantar faciitis in both feet by my PCP, inserts don't help, soaking with epsom salts don't work, I have a high tolerance for meds and don't feel effects from most... while I weigh too much, because of this foot pain, I can't really exercise to loose weight and feel like it's spiraling downhill... I was asking about the copper/magnetic braclets and totus talked about KT tape... I'm not diabetic... but the pain every day is tiresome... Thank you again
Damn Steve, though I know for pain I have to say I've never experienced that. I hope you find some comfort soon my friend.
Thanks... some days I end it taking two Tylenol and 4 ibuprofen and then when I wake up I repeat... last night/this morning was like that... and it doesn't do much of anything...
...hammer, fwiw, as far as pain, and though it's technically not a pain reliever, I swear by Aleve which is an anti-inflammatory. I ruptured a disc about 10 years ago which caused pain along the sciatic nerve. So now if I know I've got a day of work around the house or if I know I'll be on my feet most of the day, I take 2 Aleve and I'm good for 12 hours...but if you do take them be sure to do so on a full stomach and with plenty of water.
Same as every other pill I've taken... I feel no benefit from it... I've found the most benefit from the 2/4 method I mentioned...
