Pain Clinic kicking my butt!!

Some of you may be aware, most are not...

A couple of years ago, I was injured, at work, and compressed C2, C3, C4 in my neck. Since then, it's been a heck of a time.

Well, for the past 2 weeks, and the next 2 weeks, I've been involved in a Pain Clinic that very cool, though very painful, at times. The Pain Clinic is M-F, 8-5, for 4 weeks. I come home exhausted and usually in pain, relax a couple of hours and them am off to bed!

Because of this, I've NOT been able to get my R2R fix, which has been VERY disturbing. Today, I'm feeling a little better, so able to log on for a bit. It's great to play catch up and read everything I've been missing out on!

Anyway, for the next 2 weeks, I probably won't be very active and apologize for my inactivity, the past 2 weeks. I can't wait to get back into participation here, but will have to wait a bit longer, unfortunately.

Good luck with the therapy, it's amazing what today's technology can do. Hang in there and we will pray for a speedy recovery.

I hope it all pays out in the long run for you and you are pain free soon!

Thank you both.

Due to the injuries, I will probably never be pain free. I'm just hoping for a reduction in pain, to allow me to function better, and carry on a more normal life...lol.

I injured my back in the Navy 20+ years ago

My best advice is to do what I should have done long
ago and don't try to just suck it up and keep going.

I did that for Years and finally just a couple of months
ago I gave in and finally got the handicap tag and all.

All I was doing was making it worse and living in more
pain than I needed to. I was only hurting myself.

Bill, thank you so much, for your offer to help. However, I'm on the other side of the state, in Spokane...lol. Would be a bit of a drive! Luckily, Angie's really good at helping out with the tanks. I'll admit that they have suffered, from diminished maintenance, since my injury, but are still doing well. Maintenance is still done, on a regular basis, just not AS regular...lol.

One week of pain clinic remaining. I think I might survive!
