Getting old sux's...

[NCC-1701]

I'm falling apart. I have had a sciatica that has been killing me for over a month and not getting better. Luckily the sciatica pain goes away to a tolerable level after I warm up in the mornings. Yesterday I developed a severe stiff neck and last night I could not sleep at all. I have had no sleep due to both pains. I am extremely tired at the moment waiting till 9am to go see a doctor. I'm down to my last nerve.:issues: Today would be a good day for me to get road rage...:D

Yes it does! :yesnod: Physical therapy was able to eliminate my sciatic nerve pain and neck pain due to degenerative disc. Now if I could figure out how to fix the carpel tunnel other than surgery.

Sound like your nerve issue is more severe than what I had. :sadangel: Hope the doc can get you fixed up! :seasix:

I had my wrist splinted for 6 weeks. Worked pretty good for me.
Was actually able to work with it on. FWIW.

I had the same symptoms about 3 years ago with my back. Took about 3 months before it got better. Oh yes, getting old sucks.

I now go to a chiropractor every other week. I've had no pain since going. I also wear custom orthotics inserts for my shoes. The chiropractor said I needed them to get my alignment back in my spine. With the tweaks he does, it really helps.

Wish to hell I could find some relief.....spine..... some time ago I went to a hand/wrist specialist as my left wrist and two small fingers were hurting like mad, he gave me a shot in the joint, needle felt like 2' long....but all pain was gong by time I got outta there.....amazing, and it's never come back...so far....my right wrist is numb in the same two fingers though, but they say it's from my elbow region, not the spine....

I have it from just above my left hip, all the way town to my calf. Exorcise makes it tolerable. But I feel it everyday. I just deal with it.

THAT has been the prime spine pain for me since over 1/2 century ago.....

but now it will switch sides once in a while....and lately the pains are just in the lo back, not so much radiating down the leg.....

little over a year ago I went to the ER with severe attack, they gave me a happy pill, maybe a shot, they could have shot me with a gun, for all I know....that's when I found out my spine is junk....

The older you get, the worse it gets. Just wait until hypertension and anxiety start kicking in.:shots:
