While I am a big supporter of chiropractic treatment, the appropriate diagnostic tree to a long back problem is GP first, then a referral to physiatrist or orthopod depending on what you GP thinks. Shrike: I never would have guessed man. You rock. Savage: Nice peice of writing. A deal with tons of people with all types of chronic pain, and while they all suffer like you, not many of them are nearly as articulate about it. LD

2 years ago I had to get 2 fillings, 1 on either side of the bottom of my mouth near the back. They wouldn't freeze both sides of my mouth for some risk crap so I opted to get the first one done without freezing. What a messed up mind scrambling feeling... I then went on to do the second as well without freezing. Thanks guys

The moment..
That you make concessions to pain.. or to the ravages of age.. is the moment that you fall into death's grip.
Pain and the accumulated injurys of an active life will slow you down... but you can't let it stop you... Certainly some conditions may make it impossible to do certain things... but until it gets impossible.. it is possible. I have had no less than 7 surgeries on my Left knee... The last one resulted in a ACL replacment... and the removal of the cartilege pad between the ends of the bones... While this event certainly ended my Infantry career.. as it is impossible for me the run while loaded heavily ( the pain results in unconsciousness ) never the less it does not restrict me from an active life..as the ACL replacment has repaired the joint such that it is stable.. but I live with daily pain.. and after serious activity... gut wrenching pain...Nothing like bone pain..... that deep immersion in dull agony.. punctuated by the sensation of someone taking an ice pick to your knee.... But the issue is chronic..and not going to get better... so it is to be endured while I continue to live my life and do the things I love to do... Pain has a glorious way of reminding you that you are alive... and I like the reminder... as I will be dead forever.

I pack more than the average Joe everytime I hit the field, to the point of overduing it in some peoples opinions. I basicly carry the max load I know my body will allow that day, sometimes it more sometimes it's less. I'm also diabetic... now that scares me sometimes. What if I fall unconcious on the field and people don't notice I went missing. That's why I have a few good friends that I trust will keep an eye on me. I had to quite in the middle of events due to health concerns, being a very proud individual this is very hard for me. I'm not a weak individual by any means, btu I'm getting old...er and I have to accept it. Haggis, I think a few of us can... well... feel your pain.

You don't
get to middle age having lived an active life without some accumulated damage... It is the joy incumbant in aquiring more that makes it worth doing.
What I find sad... really sad.. is people half my age..in good health.. quiting because they "are tired"... or "my feet hurt" And its is beyond sad when a middle age guy carrying 2.5 time the weight ( both on the body.. and in it ) as some of these young fellas.. and suffering from some chronic conditions... can still out run.. out crawl.. out do in practically every way some of the young players.... What the heck are these guys going to do when they get to middle age... Oh wait I know... sit around and talk about their " glory days" while their nurse hooks up another Catheter bag.... what a shame... 22 and half dead already

Before the game starts, I'll pop 2 Motrin to help me through the day. The younger guys will laugh at me but one day, they'll be asking if I can give them some also. lol

The funny thing about Chronic pain
is the only thing that really makes you forget it is exactly the thing that is going to give you more...
This is why... I teach martial arts Monday, Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings... as well as doing TTAC3 activities at least once a week.. in additon to working out as much as I can... in addition to holding a 60 hours a week job... it is pain management... My hands have been broken so many times... that if I am not exercising them with wrestling, handling weapons... some thing active... they seize up and hurt like a bitch... in the second day.... Leisurely vacations... hurt The cost of an active life is arthritic conversion of the joints... the remedy is don't ever stop.

That's one of the things that totally killed my knees, including football and hockey.
I ued to fight in the good old days where it was a contact sport, not what I call "playing tag", that's basicly what martial competitions are liek now. Last time I fought was in the states and I got disqualified for actually hitting the other guy. Go figure... that's when I quit. Both of my hands are also busted big time. And I never really got into breaking either slabs nor wood. But I had a good whiel it lasted, of course now I'm paying for it, I still get in the ring every once in a while. What I miss the most are the guys I used to train with. An intense bunch of guys that were ready to take a hit as much as dishing one out w/o giving it a second tought. BTW, I'm turnign 38 pretty soon and the average guys I run into are atleast 15 yrs yonger than me and in perfect health. But they need to take a break every 30 minutes or so or can't hold a position w/o making a sound 'cause they are not confortable or in pain... Ya! Right! Pain...

Savage thats awesome write! I can't complain about any pains or anything of that nature (thank someone) but I can understand at how much I enjoy the game. My job has its stresses (like any job I am sure) but the one thing airsoft does, is take me away from any other worry for the time and I appreciate that so much. anyways keep up the good aditute, hopefully one day you will be able to enjoy life without the constant pain

"Yep" says I "I had very severe whiplash about 15 years ago and I think my new hobbies are setting it off some." "What new hobbies?" he asks.. "Umm..I'm training to enter an Army paratropper thingy, and I do heavy ruck marches and stuff, and wear 60 pounds of body armor on occasion. I also do Crossfit." His eyes glaze over. "That's your problem right there." he says. "You don't think my untreated whiplash is a factor?" I asked. "No I don't. Stop lifting heavy things, the pain will go away. Especially the body armor. What do you need that for anyway?" he says. Enlightening wot? "But then I'll get soft and weak" says I "and I won't be able to do what I like to do." "It's silly to sacrifice your comfort for your career goals." he said. He turned to go get something or other, I started laughing. HARD. MAKING IT OBVIOUS I WAS LAUGHING AT HIM. He gave me a strange look as I got up and left. My laughter continued for some time. The fact that people like that give out advice on a daily basis, that people will follow to the letter becasue they are "trained professionals" is so retarded I couldn't HELP but laugh. Savage Haggis. Never change brother.
