Herniated disc: Update

[bikinpunk 10+ year member]

I made a post about my herniated disc last week. I went to my neurosurgeon yesterday and my x-rays look the same as last year which is a good thing. He's sending me back to physical therapy (but I'm going to a legit one now, not the Chiropractor's version of one). I'm getting another MRI just to make sure nothing has changed, but I'm pretty hopeful that everything will work out for me. :thumb:

Now, the crazy part. Yesterday I went to lunch with some friends from High School, one of whom I work with. He picked me up and asked how my back was and I told him about going to the Neuro later that day (yesterday). A co-worker of his asked what happened, and I got to yapping about it. I said that it started off as just stiffness and that's how herniated discs usually surface, then the pain gets stronger and eventually you get numbness and pain in your leg.

My friend said that his back had been hurting him (he's an all-around athlete) and I suggested him getting it looked at just in case. This is the e-mail I got from him this morning:

"Hey man how is your back. Mine's not so good. My orthopedic surgeon says it is a bulging disk so he sent me a steroid pack, some muscle relaxers, and suggest that I go to therapy."

I suggest you guys pay attention to your body if your athletic (or even not). You never know...

No problem.

Of course, I'm sure you don't do anything other than trash-talking on the internet, and I'm pretty sure it's hard to injure yourself doing that. Maybe just your "online rep". I'm pretty sure you're safe. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

"I hope you have sons. Beautiful, handsome boys. Articulate, educated, and athletic. And I hope they have their legs taken from them, so you can know what this pain is like."

at least I'm not so lonely that i create innumerable threads about mundane life experiences interesting to no one.

It's rather pathetic that you have no one but interwebz 'friends' to share such commonplace and banal personal anecdotes with.

Lonely meaning bored at work? If so, then you are 100% correct, sir.

Me getting paid while typing this > you whining about my post count.

Irregardless of your current locale, a quick glance at the threads you create indicates you have no one to commiserate about lackluster events with.

Look, man. Honestly, I don't want to get into an e-war with someone for something as silly as my "lackluster" threads. Chances are, if we knew each other there would be none of this garbage going on. I'm simply bored at work, and waiting on someone to get back to me about some information so I post while I wait. I don't see why you have to take some kind of personal offense and make it your goal to go after me just because you don't like my threads. Hell, there's plenty of threads I don't like here and I don't go in and start going after the poster. That's a pretty lame thing to do and a sorry attempt at an ego boost, IMO. I know that I have a lot of threads per day some days. Most days I don't.

You average 16.19 posts per day.

I average 3.85 posts per day.

Let's drop it already.

You said all i do is trash talk in the interwebz; i figured that was a compliment and you wanted to see my mad skillz.

Also i win, because you are scuuuurrred of my epeni.

Lol. I'm not scared of an internet war, I just don't see the point. I used to get all heated and into it, but when it comes down to it, it's only 2 idiots fighting over some lame stuff most of the time that doesn't matter at all.

I just like calling truce before things get out of hand and you (the poster) spend a day on trying to belittle someone.

/e-war
