How did you hear about the site?

of course i did

 

yeah, im gonna stay on ice and heat tomorrow, aint gonna go back to work till monday. i really hope that i aint gonna need surgery though. hopefully, rest and ice/heat will loosen everything up.

 

u hardheaded bastard!! u are NOT LISTENING to a word i just said!! if u go see a massage therapist then we wont have to hear u bitch!!! what part of any of the words i have just spoken in the prior post do u not comprehend?? lay off the pain killers and go do somethin about it... otherwise im just gonna sit back and laugh bc u obviously like pain

 

whoa, whoa, whoa.....this is your last post there youngin........

of course i did

besides....been to a chiropracter....twisted every bone in my upper body, and couldnt get my left side to do anything.

 

oops......i missed that post completely lil sexy!! sorry! why dont you head on down this way and fix it for me??

 

i am takin deep DEEP breaths... ...u better be lookin up people 2moro! all u need is 30mn! dont pretend like yur pinchin pennies bc u have already blew too much $$ on idiots that like takin it! i get a little touchy when it comes to dr's i hate them!

 

honestly, im hardly ever at a dr., as i dont like them either. pain pills/muscle relaxers do nothing for me either. but...........i got a shot in my hip yesterday that made me sleep for 7 hours.

 

unless yur payin me for gas... a place to stay... $$ for me missin out on weekend pay and compensatin me for my time to work on u... i doubt im gonna be able to make it... even though by the time i leave u wont have any numbness or tinglin left. my dad had the same thing happen to him. he was hurtin worse while i was workin on him but within an hr it completely went away and he aint had a problem with it since

 

ok, you can stay where you are............i aint gotta lotta $. im gonna call some places tomorrow and see if i can get something done.

 

be sure and find one with several yrs exp in deep tissue... and make sure u ask if they know "trigger points" bc there are several that need to be worked on for whats goin on with u. they are mostly in the forearm and upper arm to the shoulder. and they need to work on yur levator scapula muscle to relieve tension on yur nerve ... if they dont know all this... dont let them touch u!

 

is the same true for where my nerve is pinched......between the g5 and g6 vertebrae, and runs the length of my arm into my fingers?? if so.....cool. i need to find a massage therapist.

 

07-do you guys mess with that main nerve like that? I would just let it un inflame on its own-you got a HOT nerve there pal! Time can do wonders! A few days is all.

 

um im confused... there is no such thing as a g5 or g6... there is c1-c7... t1-t12... L1-L5... & sacral... if u are referrin to yur cervical vertebrae then they can relax the muscles causing the impingement. that is what we do... or excuse me, what the ones that know what the hell they are doin and care about what they do. u can always ask them first before they touch u. if they seem confused then leave. i wouldnt want someone to work on me that dont know what they are doin

 

we dont mess with the nerve at all... that is not our job. we only work with soft tissue that surrounds nerves. we relax the muscles causing them to relax and keep it from pinching. most of the time its from muscles bein too tight/strained. and the whole trigger point thing doesnt touch nerves either. if its inflamed u would be able to tell... but then again a nerve is never inflammed... just muscle tissue is

 

maybe we should start a thread on pain management

 

I dont mean to overstep here but it is my understanding that the "spinal" nerve tissue can swell due to trauma, causing itself to be "pinched" in between the vertibrae.

 

yeah, that sounds right... the nerves i was referrin to though are the ones that branch out through the muscles. theres no way we could ever reach the ones yur talkin about anyways. i guess theres so many different ones/bundles to refer to... guess we all shouldve been more specific

 

OK I got ya thats why I stuck my big nose here cuz he pinched that particular nerve and it's shooting referrred pain and numbness thru his arm/hand network he's too cool to be sufferin

 

I searched "tacoma forum." This is where I ended up.

This place reminds me of other forums I'm on where the regulars here all dick around with each other instead of being super serious all the time like I've seen on other forums. Much better environment here than other places.

 

awww.... thank you so much for the compliment tacoark. I think you're special and pretty too
