I saw some friends in Walmart today & they asked about my neck. Told them it was pretty much healed now, altho I have to watch that I don't pick up too much weighty things. Later I saw them & they asked me who had put the 12 packs of soda in my cart, lol. I told them I'd had to do it & the wife threatened to tell my mom, lmao. The neurologist really, really wanted to give me a shot of Botox in my neck, but I knew that was only going to block the pain & I was concerned that I may further injure it and not even know it, plus the Botox would wear off after a while. I figured out that he really just wanted me to spend the money on that - $700, at least - instead of trying the meds at a much cheaper price for me. I decided not to go back to him when he wouldn't renew the meds (after he told me he would) and thankfully the GP didn't mind giving me the meds. He's a really nice doctor & has also prescribed that new drug Chantix to help me quit smoking. It seems to be working - you take it for a while to build up in your system and it decreases your desire for nicotine. I've noticed I don't want a cig as much as I used to, even when I'm under a lot of stress, which was a really big trigger for me. I've chosen my quit date as Thanksgiving weekend, since I'll be home with my parents & they don't allow smoking in the house since dad quit several years ago...So wish me luck!!

I don't like meds as they mask the pain and don't fix the problem. See, a pinched nerve is the disk pressing on the nerve. To fix it, you have to get it off the nerve, and that's what a chiropractor does, by manipulating the spine. 2 sessions and I feel a lot better, and I'll see her 3 times this week and probably 3 times next week and it should be all better. She charges just $25 a session -- I bet if it went through insurance it would be triple that :( Some doctors only believe in meds. I don’t like meds as they mask the pain and don’t fix the problem.

They claimed it would do more harm than good in the end. Altho the GP did suggest I get a deep tissue massage done on my shoulders, as they are so tight - he said he'd never felt someone's shoulder muscles as tight as mine...But then I finally got better, so never did go do that. I just can't afford another medical bill right now - am still paying off the neurologist. I asked both the GP & the neurologist about going to a chiropractor and they both said ‘NO!’

Ice does help a bit but being cracked is what moves the disk off the nerve.

The only thing that helped me (besides drugs) was time...and I mean like 4 months! And even then, don't pick up anything that weighs very much, or it will kick up again...

The only site I have is the Hairy MILFs Blog (http://www.hairymilfsblog.com/) but older women content isn't easy to find.

I am that apparently somewhat rare 50+ year old man who prefers women my own age. Am I just missing them or is there a distinct lack of hirsute models born prior to 1960?
