Burn the nerve roots? Tried that, the little bastards grew back.
I'd have to be in a hell of a bad state to buy a Ford...I had to end up getting the fusion
Yeah, I have had it done 3 times now. The last one took quite well, haven't done one these last two years.
Months? That didn't happen with me. Biggest problem was so many years with the UK "health service" where the only option was "take brufen and hope" so the damage was getting worse and worse because the waiting list for a non-essential MRI was 2 years, so I paid for one privately just to prove them wrong when they tried to say there was nothing wrong with my spine and it was all muscle pain, and I thoroughly enjoyed slapping that report on my doctor's desk and tearing her a new one. When I moved here much more treatment and investigation was done, that's when we found out L3 is dislocated and the arthritis was firing in. So thanks to the dislocation, being a fat git and pushing myself WAY too hard on the physical side of things at work there's now 2 disks pressing on the nerves, a third almost there, with the disk at L3-4 completely squished and, luckily, sticking out more to the left than just straight out backwards (unlike the one below it where the bulge couldn't be more centered if I measured it). Add in everything from L1 downwards being riddled with arthritis and enthesetis and, well, it's not pleasant and there ain't much they can do.
I was in a bad state ... couldnt stand, couldnt sit, couldnt lay down, couldnt walk - none of those for more a few minutes without pain. Was on 45mg of perc PLUS 500mg Soma-tab every 4 hours while getting cortizone shots and using a tens unit - all for a freaking YEAR before I gave in
Yup, I'm rapidly heading towards the same, the pain is there 24/7 and only the intensity changes. Cortisone infusions are out because me and cortisone are not friends, can't use a TENS any more because the whole area is sensitized due to using a TENS so much in the past. Standing for any length of time is a no-no, can't sit for more than 20 mins at a time and even then that has to be in a specific position, and as far as walking goes, well, I can walk for miles, but on a good day I have to stop every 150 yards and old ladies complain that I'm too slow, on a bad day I need to use the crutches just to walk the few yards to the thunderbox at home.
I can honestly say that I am way more mobile now, am pain free, and feel 100000x better than before. If you’re in the States, check out the Laser Spine Institute - they’ve come a LONG way ... wish I had checked into them first; smaller incision, less trauma, and vastly improved recovery time!
What’s going to go in there?Not even mid day and I already broke something. Busted the little plastic thingy on this

The little plastic thinggy is critical to adjusting the kiln shut off temperature. Looks lile bakelite, may have been the original from the 60's or so.
Gonna go for a walk.
If the repaired part sees any heat, I do not think that will work. I've done such repairs using sawdust plus super glue, and it is not a very strong repair at room temp and will come apart in hot water.

1) Don't feed until the plant shows a need for food. Many many pics in the Newbie Growing Forum to help you recognize the signs.
Wow that wasn’t what I was expecting. Ha ha Hee hee! More like Portugal’s ceramic Penis industry.no shame there, it’s a great respected family tradition passed down from generations . I made a series of 10 different shaped ceramic Penis designed as coat and hat hooks once.
I do like a jauntily cocked cap
