We spend more time discussing things that aren't real more than real stuff. At least most years. I still can't believe we haven't had a region wide 6-12" yet. I mean wtf man. It's a disaster. I just had back surgery and can walk without pain for the first time in years. I can't wait to shovel some snow 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to shovel some snow Back pain is a bitch. I had to get an MRI back in 2008 due to chronic sciatic nerve pain (I didn't know what was going on other than a hot knife stabbing my hamstring daily). Mod degeneration of L3-4-5 and impingement on my sciatic nerve. I've managed it for 10 years but at some point I'm going under the knife too. Next step is steroid injections and when they stop working I get to have fusion surgery. I'm actually much better than I was in 2008 but that's just because of phys therapy/weight loss/posture etc. There is no real cure as I'm sure you already know. I'm surprised I've made it this long without steroids. The weird thing about nerve pain is exercise like biking/hiking/swimming provides relief. My days are numbered though. I'll keep buying time until the inevitable. It's my own fault though. Between football as a teen and being a ski bum in my 20's I did some damage.

Good luck to you because I know your pain...my nerves were crushed because of collapsed discs plus stenosis and I also had a cyst. My spine doctor said how are you walking...I'm like is that what I'm doing lol. Get the relief man...its wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been successful so far just by being smart about it. According to my doc/insurance I have to get the injections next before anything else. $900/per even with decent insurance and they may not work at all. Getting old sucks man.

Between football as a teen and being a ski bum in my 20's I did some damage. No regrets Much of it is hereditary. I went 32 years between my first laminectomy and my fusion. The fusion is a big deal, but it did work. My heart leapt for joy when I read Leesburg's post. You can see the relief in his writing. Much to thank God for this Thanksgiving. Leesburg...don't you shovel too much snow just yet. Slow and steady makes it. BTW, I still wear a back brace to shovel. Cuts down on fatigue if nothing else. Good habit to get into. ETA: I've haven't seen many success stories with the standard steroid injections. But it's simple enough to try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 @Bob Chill and @leesburg 04 A good friend of mine is a contractor and had off and on sciatica pain (mostly ON) for years and recently had an in and out procedure by this doctor back in July. The results have been amazing. It might be worth looking into for your pain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svxSUKVddo0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m working nonstop with none of the exercise, and terrible diet too the last few months. Bodies are very resilient. They can handle a lot of abuse and still snap back even when you're old. The most important thing you can do is eat right. It's more important than regular exercise. Never try and fix everything at once as it's not possible. Humans are serious creatures of habit. Start by changing things one little thing at a time and it will all fall into place. I'll be in SW CT for the holiday later this month. Starting to think there's a chance for some snowfall while I'm there. If so I'm logging it in my yard's seasonal total. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I should probably too... but each time I start for like a week or two by trying to eat well or go for walks... I derail myself with either fast food or a bunch of noodles and mac and cheese or eating late at night (after midnight) and then deciding that I can go for a longer walk on the weekend or the such 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if 2009-10 walked through the door, there would be some who needed a place to panic and give up. Doesn’t the room usually open by thanksgiving? A couple of ugly model days and the place will be rockin like last winter. We are always on edge here in the mid Atlantic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amplifying cold with a relaxing block makes me think the period is ripe for a coastal/Achambault type event. I'll be up in SW CT so my temporary climo will be greatly improved. We'll probably start seeing some digital fantasy storms as leads shorten.

Well the NAO certainly has had some problems keeping it up(the heights, that is) over recent winters. If I have to settle for EPO erection, I will take it.

CAPE Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Speaking of Ravens, what a matchup tomorrow. Watson is great, but Lamar is just as good(maybe better), and plays on a better team with better coaching.. Ravens are the better team, and they are at home. Unless they come out flat, or get sloppy and turn the ball over, they should win this game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
