So, got over the pseudo mumps, got past the nasty cold, got past the stomach virus. New Year's day I went to pick up a magazine off the couch and there went the lumbar. Went to the Chiropractor today and left hip is over an inch above the right one. Will need to get adjustments 3 times a week for the next month. In the meantime, I am eating Ibuprofren like jelly beans and will have to ice the backstrap tonight.

Sucks to be getting old. Went up to Estes park over the weekend and could barely walk the two blocks around downtown without moaning like an old fir tree in a strong wind.

Not exactly the best way to start the new year healthwise, but at least everything else in life is going okay.

Yikes, makes my back twinge to think about it. Best wishes on a speedy recovery.

Enquiring minds now want to know:

"What magazine?"

Just be glad you're not a horse!!

You are really starting to scare me! Is this what I have to look forward to?

How you heal soon, friend.

Good Luck on a speedy recovery from the back injury. I share your pain. This "getting old" crap ain't all it cracked up to be. Guess it beats the alternative though.

"...eating Ibuprofren like jelly beans..."

Me too. Mine are 800mg. Hope you get morebetter soon...

"...Is this what I have to look forward to?..."

Oh yeah. I could tell you stories that will curl your hair (you lucky dog, you have hair)...

Ben.... you are really casting doubt on my plan to die at a 120 from an overdose of 20 year olds. Knock it off, get better.

Amazing how one can pick up heavy things all day an no problem. Then pick up a quarter from the ground and become a walking lowercase "r". Good Luck

I know you know this already, but it bears repeating. Watch your daily and accumulated total dosages. NSAIDs are really tough on the liver, and it's surprisingly easy to get to a toxic blood level, where Really Bad Things happen. Take care, my friends and fellow chronic back pain sufferers.
