Originally posted 2019-12-18 16:07:11. Went to see the neurosurgeon this morning. My tests results show some instability of the spine on top of a few other issues. Issues that he admitted were complex. First thing we are having to do is do a laminectomy with decompression. Second, at a later date, would be a multi-level spinal fusion. Part of the issue with that would be a single level left in between fusions below and above.…

I haven’t been able to get a true deep tissue massage in over a year. No offense to anyone who does them but the ones I have tried just don’t have enough pressure or whatever it is that seems to be missing. My chronic pain was…
Originally posted 2023-01-26 19:32:00. let me tell you something…. I started physical therapy yesterday and ughhh… the doc said I needed to do the “exercises” 5 out of 7 days a week. I know I had 2 back surgeries last year and my body reminded me of that too. I think my body from my last life sent a message too. I know I said previously that there is an upside to pain… just letting…
Originally posted 2023-01-26 10:33:26. I was sent several items for a review. Now I normally use my Massage Melt or Muscle Rub. But since my neck fusion and latestback surgery on Dec 29 I needed a little more pain juice lol. So now was the perfect opportunity to try some new products. This was a roll on so that was a definite plus since I don’t want to get the product on my computer keyboard.Even…
As of today it has been 7 days since I got the first set of hormone replacement therapy pellets. I didn’t start my progesterone until last night so I don’t think I can really say I have had any affects from that yet. One thing I can definitely tell you that I have seen with the pellets is that I have had a hell of alot let body aches with the pellets. I know the…
Hey y’all…Hope everyone had a deserving Christmas. The past 6 months have been kicking my ass.I’m in a different head space and trying to find my way back. Ever since Chewy passed, then my ankle replacement, I have just been trying to glide. I have been seeing more wrinkles and more gray hair all the while I don’t feel the wrinkles and gray on the inside.I started using more face products to hopefully counter the…
Originally posted 2023-01-12 09:30:37. This morning we were abruptly woken up by the dogs fighting for some reason. Now, Max, our eldest dog is approximately 16 years old. At least that is what we have estimated it at. Our daughter found him in 2007 and they estimated his age at around 6 months then. James and I have been together (as of June of this year) 16 years. So we always go off our anniversary…
I tried some dry needling today. We don’t know how much and what exactly it will help, but it’s worth a try. He put needles in my leg and in the bottom of my foot. The one that went in my foot was definitely felt lol. The others weren’t really bothersome at all. I keep having issues with the front of my ankle. I have quite a bit of scar tissue in there, so I’m…
Originally posted 2022-12-31 12:57:18. This past week and some change has been a wild one. Started on the night of the 22nd and as of right now still lingering. I woke up to my husband throwing up and wailing in pain. It was odd because it was the same exact pain and complaints from the last time he ended up in the emergency room. The last ER visit didn’t result in a diagnosis, which worried…
Originally posted 2019-11-19 19:40:50. Went to the neurosurgeon yesterday morning. For one the radiology facility didn’t make sure they put all films on the disc, ughh. The PA even said they normally do not have to specify to put all films on a disc but I guess someone decided to do it their own way, who knows. I just have to get the other films on disc and give them to him next appointment. Get…
