That's a walk in the park. For over the past 10 years I've been prescribed 4-5 Norco 10/325 a day, 2-3 Soma 350mg, 2 Gabapentin 300mg, 4-6 Tramadol 50mg, 3 Ibuprofen 800mg blah blah blah, and other stuff. Yeah, I know why my guts are fuct up.

For anyone who likes to read medical bs. Here are my MRI reports on my lower back and my neck I found not long ago. These of course are from 10 years ago. Things have gotten much worse since then. I'm hoping to get new updated MRI's this year as well a new Nerve conduction study on my arms and hands. I even got a couple MRI film scans if anyone likes that stuff. I do find it a bit interesting.

****, we're going to need to start another thread for our whining and crying about our boo boos. :happy175:

That's about the same as me :(

Im a little more messed up at the lower levels. The L5-S1 one has exploded the inside is on the outside:whymewhyme: But everything else is more or less the same.

Its too bad you had surgery or the non surgical maintenance techinques would be more effective.

I actually lucked out cause they wont operate cause there is too much damage and I function fairly well for whats wrong. So they figure the surgery will just cause more pain from scar tissue and then it will just relapse in short order any way.

That's kinda whats happening with you heh? They operated and now its basically just doing the same thing again except this time your disc height is collapsing because there is less material in the disc since they snipped it out ?

I was all gung ho for surgery but they refused me and then after the fact learned that im actually better off not having surgery. because even if you have surgery statistics show that you will be worse off than in the first place 8 years later which then requires more surgery and by the time their done with you, you have no disc left and they want to fuse your spine together :Insane:

You could try something like this. Although I don't know if your supposed to with having surgery and all?

This thing will actually decompress the discs in the lumbar region. It helps me a lot!

They make one for the neck too or you can get them both in one unit.

You'll need the entire front clip with core support, the wiper linkage and wiper posts (73-80 have the cowl as part of the hood, so the wiper posts are different than later squares with the separate cowl). You'll also want the "anti-decapitators". They are little button head brackets that lock into the hood to keep it from shearing the cab (and your head!) in a wreck.

Here is a thread with more info:
