While browsing the website of Recluse holster, i couldn't help but notice how, strangely, there are many spelling mistakes throughout the site. I guess Recluse holster must not monitor its email account. I sent them several emails about how there are multiple spelling mistakes on almost every page of their site, but still they haven't changed them. It just looks kind of unprofessional. I thought these days, everyone knew what a spell checker was. It almost reminded me of those spam emails from Russia or Nigeria that are supposedly from your bank, but have many spelling errors. Maybe they will read this post and get the message.

He may be like me, in that he is not an "office" guy, but more of a "shop' guy, and leaves the website work in the hand of his webmaster whom is lacking english/grammer skills.
-
yeah, that's why i told him that his website designer was asleep at the wheel. If i paid money for that site i would have been on the phone day 1 with the creator.

I don't know, brother, with 1276 posts, you must spend some time in front of the computer.

Well that is over a period of years.
I also have 3 herniated discs. I stand in the shop 12-14 hrs a day. So sometimes I do have to rest. I rest by coming in and seeing what's up on the forum.
-
yeah, i know what you mean, i have L5 S1 herniations and constant back pain. i can't sit or stand in one place too long. i am now in physical therapy, but it doesn't seem to do much good. the disc is too far gone.
-
Sorry to hear that Joe, I hope PT helps.
I have the same discs, plus L4. Went through PT forever with no real success. Like you, very limited on sitting and standing, must keep moving. I do whatever I can to keep from taking pain meds, don't like them at all.
-
i am getting tired of the electric zapping of my back muscles in the PT. plus, the $20 co-pay every time is a waste. they want me there three times a week. Of course they do...
I just like to lay down as much as possible lately.
-
Boy I would love to pay $20, I have to pay Double.
Yes, laying down during the day definitely helps a lot.
Sitting and standing - enemy
Moving and laying down - freind.

Absolutely on point. That sums it up.

Ouch! Joe. That has to be excruciationg; to say the least.
-
yeah, compare it to the healthy discs above it.
-
I did; and that's quite a bit of difference.
-
I feel your pain brother!
-
I don't share your pain personally but my wife has had four back surgeries and has a Morphine pump installed inside her to inject her spine.
So I know what your talking about.
-
Oeww, sounds rough!

Joe_from_NY,
I have a similar condition. Three bulging lumbar discs, plus a lot of calcium deposits. Went to a orthopedic man who specializes in medical (non-surgical) treatment. He recommends physical therapy and / or injections. Been thru the P/T previously without much success. Don't like needles near my spinal cord.
So, I found a chiropractor who knows his stuff. On Fridays, I finish the day with a jigger of Johnny Walker Black on ice. In fact, I just finished my "prescription". This worries me a bit. I'm thinking of switching to Jim Beam. 8)

i am going for epidural cortisone injections next week. wish they made a morphine pill instead. :-/
-
Got Neurontin and Skelaxin now also Oxycodone to knock the pain down. Doctor said pain might decrease over a few weeks time.

Here you can see the squashed disc, thereby letting the vertebrae almost rub against each other. (Note the healthy discs appear with normal shape and with nice white filling inside):

Here is the disk material impinging on the nerve canal, causing lower back pain:

That looks more intense with each xray. That is much more than ouch!
