MARYLAND TACOMAS

Tweaked a disc in my back… Dr thinks a herniated disc may be messing with my sciatic nerve on left side. Started an Rx steroid remedy and had an MRI yesterday… mornings are horrible after sleeping flat all night, takes a few hours to loosen up. But with any luck, I’ll be back on the lake with the pontoon Saturday with fam and friends. I’ll just be captain… make the kids do all the grunt work!

 

So I have heard! It has been on my mod list for quite some time, finally decided to take that $400 hit.

 

I’ll pray for ya man!

 

I feel for ya! I had that awful sciatic nerve pain for a year. Physical therapy, 2 different chiropractors, pain meds, 2 rounds of nerve blocker injections did nothing to relieve the pain. It took surgery for me. I worked up until the day of my surgery. I am not gonna lie to you, there was mornings that the nerve pain was so intense that it brought tears to my eyes. Felt like my right buttock & leg was being stabbed with a hot knife. My neosurgeon & chiropractor told me my back was extremely tight & compressed which caused the disc to slip. They recommended that I keep doing hamstring & back stretches to keep my back loose & limber, I do them every night. I hope your pain isn't as bad as mine was.

 

So my leafs have had a squeak ever since I went to Rausch. I've done a bit of research on here and it could be a number of things. I'm planning to rotate my tires tomorrow anyway, so do we want to take bets?

 

Yea man… that’s exactly how it’s been! Feels like someone is trying to rip a hot rope from my calf muscle, through my knee and thigh muscle and out my hip. During the day, full of meds I can manage and get around ok… but in a seated position it comes back no matter what I’m on… and the mornings are hell too! I get outa bed and want to drop to my knees, but I know that’ll make it worse. My follow up isn’t until the 11th. I really hope I get some relief before then!!

 

No bueno! Get yourself to a chiropractor. Steroids are great for a short term solution. Try these exercises to help.

 

My pain was constant. Stand, sit or lay the pain was awful. Of course the more I stood or walked the pain increased. I was in pain 24/7. Pain meds didn't offer me no relief at all. I'm glad to hear the pain meds are offering you some relief.

 

Good to hear. I haven't had any rain yet. I hope to get the tailgate seal on tonight before I leave tomorrow so I can how it does with a dirt road and dust getting in there.

 

Mine squeak occasionally. It’s usually one one the rubber saddle isolators. I spray some silicon spray and it usually works. I also keep the leafs coated with Woolwax and try to spray between the leaves.

good luck figuring it out

 

Report back on how it does with dust. My bed is very dusty without any seals.

But to be fair I did some dirt/gravel driving + a cross country trip and I don’t think I ever cleaned the bed lol

Does anyone live close to york PA or go there a lot?

 

Good morning MD.

 

A while back my wife’s car ran into the garage door frame with the side mirror and busted it up. I can replace it for about 150 but was curious, if I trade it in should I expect that damage, which is noticeable, to have us lose out on more than 150 in the trade?
