My Story

[willy]

Yuengling works, though I am more of a Jack or some Pussers Rum man now, or for the summer a Sundowner (Plymouth or Bombay gin and a touch of tonic). Losing my taste for most of the beer for some reason the past several years. Probably because of my mis spent youth 8) drank it like water.
Parish what ever I need to stock the coolers with consider it done brother.

Parishht,

Take it easy and do what the doctor says for now. *If that doesn't work, find another doctor!

But it sounds like you did the right thing. *My friend Chad just had 3 vertabrae fused together in his lower back with titanium rods and pins. *He says the pain he had before is gone. *He just has to take it easy for a while before doing anything too strenuous.

He's 33 and I'm soon to be 34. *

Actually, a couple of years ago I went to have an MRI done due to this popping noise I'd hear sometimes when I'd swallow (spit that is). *Well when the doc saw the x-rays they left a real serious voicemail on my answering machine telling me I'd better get there asap!

When I got there I was freakin scare to death. *I was like, how long have I got doc? *But the MRI had shown where 2 of the vertabrae in my neck were out of place. *They wanted to put me in a neck brace and schedule surgery. *Since I had NO pain and have NO pain now - I just can't see doing that. *I've opted to take it easy on the neck until surgery is necessary. *I may be screwing up by not having the surgery - who knows. *

But I think my wife might leave me if I did have the surgery lol!

if i ever injured my neck my old man would be gone in a heartbeat,lol

;D :D ;) :) 8) :o :P ::)

BR,
I am taking it easy, I want to go on the V this summer.

Probably your verts are out of alignmenet and not pushing the disk into your nerves, hence no pain.
Just be careful, any strain could push the disk into a position that you don't want, that's what happended to me.

[Blue_Runner]

I'm sure you'll be back at it before you know it. We're lucky to have our V's and I'm sure yours misses you.

I will definitely be careful. ;) And thanks for reminding me. Sometimes I forget.

Thanks LESTER, I was in South Beach a few years ago,
maybe that IS what did in my neck.

All my doctors tell me they are glad I never smoked,
they say I have a much better chance of healing faster and better.

I am bigger, because my vice is eating big portions,
but I am a firm believer in eating foods that are high
in vitamins and minerals.
Especially the vegies high in calcium.

Also Parish I don't know if anyone told you but dont take any anti inflammatoris like Advil etc. they prevent the bonding healing of the bone structure.
If you need anything take Tylenol
