We were glad to have to have a couple left over painkillers for him that night so he could sleep through the pain but they are no more than a temporary stopgap. The chiropractor was the solution.
I cant really take them as they make me so nauseous. :bleh:
Ive been doing weights to help build up that area and have been having less problems. :victory:

Congrats. Good for you. Resistance training often helps greatly when it comes to chronic (muscle) pain because often times a bad back or neck or hip is because certain muscles have become weak and therefore the body needs to rely on other muscle groups to "pick up the slack." This overcompensation often results in muscles that are overworked leading to a manifestation of pain. :victory:

That's pretty much what my PT said... Word for word. :victory:

HAHA. You can guess that I've been through the paces myself...one learns these things when you have to battle chronic pain. Glad you're feeling better.

I accidently deleted ALL my PMs from the inbox. :shamefulcry: It wouldn't have bothered me so much, except that I trashed a very precious PM. :puppydog:

You need to save the important ones. Ive remembered thrice in five years. :beaten:

I did that once. Don't you save important ones to the savebox??

*Edit* Great minds think alike, Evie :)

THERE'S A SAVE BOX?!

OMG! So there it is. I clicked on it, and apparently I knew there was a Savebox in 2007... I guess I'd forgotten. :shamefulcry:

I used to love them but they don't work with a colostomy. :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead: :shakehead:

Likewise. :victory:

The camera place I've been going to for almost 20 years is out of business. :puppydog:

I knew this was coming, they'd told me about it last time I was in there back in November. Since everything's gone digital and people can make their own prints on their pc, it's really put a hurt on them. Still sucks to see the place empty though.

There are many, many casualties of this recession.

It REALLY sucks! I still run a darkroom at work, and it's REALLY hard finding a photo paper/film/chemical supplier. There just isn't a demand for those resources anymore. Really sad.

I don't think it's the economy as much as the technology. I remember when I bought my first digital camera from them about 4 or 5 years ago. The guy said, "These things are going to turn us into dinosaurs." Looks like he was right.

Point taken. The evolution of technology has been the "sunset" of many businesses and products.

Same thing with slide rules (> calculators) and phone booths (> cell phones).

Visiting the RMV, the wait times are just insane. I downloaded the forms online, printed them out and filled them out. So why do I have to wait for those that come unprepared and have to fill out the forms on the spot, shouldn't they have to go to the back of the line when they're done filling them out, instead of just 'cutting' in front of people. :grumble:

You want them to wait in line twice?
