What was it that caused Craig to have surgery on his neck?

like a car on lift.  Also if drinking a can of soda or something like 
that, can't tilt head back far enough to get the last bit out while 
standing.  If I sit and can lean back I can. Also, when leaned over a 
car working on something for a little bit of time, takes me a few 
minute so be able to stand back upright.


Started off with ortho doctor who did xrays.  I have arthritis and I 
guess bone spurs, some of which have grown to the point of connected 
vertebrae in 2 spots and trying to do it in a 3rd.  Have some 
narrowing in the spinal canal in some spots which could be leading to 
some pinched nerves.  This was discovered after I had a MRI.  I was 
then referred to spinal expert.  At first glance he says it appears I 
am going to need surgery.  I am not really having any other symptoms I 
have noticed except for some possible weakness in a couple of fingers 
that might be part of this.  Given I have this blood clotting deal and 
have to be on warfarin, there is really nothing he wants to do unless 
symptoms become worse.  In other words, I guess I just have to live 
with stiff sore hurting neck.


This then got me to thinking, I wonder if this is something a 
chiropractor could help with?  Never been to one or know much about it.

She's a massage therapist which doesn't help. She's on her feet all day. To 
make it worse she's all frustrated that she can't "fix herself" which is crazy 
because she always says "I can't fix you"...

That’s what contingency funds are for. When we were young we scraped to save 
the recommended six months of income. Fortunately, we never had to tap it, but 
just having it made decision making over things like this a lot less stressful.

My brother broke his heel a few years ago.  The docs said that he had to stay 
off of it for something
like 90 days.  Same story: "I can't afford to do that..."

So now he's on permanent disability.  It never healed correctly and he re-broke 
it a time or two during recovery.
Can't stand for very long, and in continuous pain.  He talks about just having 
it cut off sometimes.

Dumbass!

That sounds familiar.

Spousal unit wanted to come out to Flagstaff to see if an extended stay would 
help her arthritis due to previous experiences/stays.

Three-four days in she’s doing great, then she decides rather that turn up the 
thermostat she’s going to haul a load of wood in for the wood stove. And of 
course the result was a day or two of recovery. Duh!

I had a very stern talking-to with her about it, so that’s that, but it’s much 
the same. “I know I shouldn’t/should do something to recover, but this is more 
important so I’ll do it and just recover on the backside.”

Nope. Not how it works.

 As we age that healing takes longer and longer.Angie over-did it at the gym 
back in November and her sciatic nerve either got pinched or rubbed on. It's 
been 2 months of discomfort and pain.
Her problem is that she won't take a solid week off to let it heal. She'll take 
a day off, feel a little better and then try to do a full day's work. I get it, 
she's a sole proprietor so if she's not working she's not making any money but 
she's getting to where she needs 2 days off to put in one day so she'll take 
one day off and work a half day...
We had kind of a blowout about it this morning, she's getting worried about 
money but can't break out of her cycle. I told her that if she wants to get 
serious about letting herself heal I'll help her with the money but if she 
wants to persist with her current tactic she might as well just close the 
business. I'm not going to pay for her to follow a road we know leads to 
failure.
It's tough love but sometimes she needs these ultimatums to get her to do what 
she already knows she needs to do.

Shoulders benefit from active therapy - even after rotator cuff surgery
(which I had on each shoulder 11 years apart).  The pain is quite powerful
but the results are worth it.  I've experienced no discomfort in either
shoulder since completing surgery and followup PT.

was right. He made an adjustment and gave me a stretch for it and about 2 weeks

Re: [MBZ] Went to the neck doctor

Might also ask if physical therapy could help, though I would assume they would 
have referred you if it could.

I have a sore left shoulder that has *slowly* improved over the last two years 
through range of motion and strength exercises. It still isn't as good as the 
right side, but it is better than it was, though at times it seemed to get 
worse for a while depending on the intensity of the exercise.
