I messed up my knee from a slip and fall, I was worried I'd have to have surgery. Turns out that they gave me PT instead and I healed up for the most part. Stiff on rainy days or if I do too much walking, but otherwise I'm fine. No, the asshole, who rear-ended me and my aunt on the way to work didn't want to pay for an accident, that he caused because he was in a last minute rush to get to his company. Here's the real kicker, he couldn't move before us anyway because everyone was stopped at a 4-lane intersection. Just the thought of it pisses me off. Luckily, the pain is not as horrible as it was 5 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your doctor and any specialists he might refer you to get to decide that, he just gets to pay for it (his insurance should have). Sounds like a real asshole. I'm glad you are doing better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing what people get away with, especially in WI. In about 3 more hours, I think I will rub on my Lidocaine ointment after taking a shower. It must be applied every 12 hours.

You might want to talk to your doctor about PT though. It is usually pretty cheap and a lot of insurance companies will cover it because it does work and is cheaper than prescriptions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some friends suggested going to an acupuncturist because it's supposedly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to one, so I can't offer any advice beyond make sure they know what they are doing, after all they are going to be sticking needles in your neck.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimopoBotar Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 One time at work I had to lift two rolling barrels filled with crushed glass into our glass containment bins. Looking at our paperwork, we had about 600lbs of glass on hand and all of it was in those two rolling barrels. I will never ever do anything that stupid again. I don't know how i didn't competely destroy my back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would probably have to do my neck, back, and sides. It's usually my right side that has the most pain, when I am hurting. When I accidentally twist my right side, that's when I'm in excruciating amounts of pain and will be stuck in bed for a whole day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should do an X-ray and MRI, and see if there is a nerve somewhere being affected. Anyways, I hope you feel better, and take it easy with the shoveling, or better yet buy a snowblower. That can give you a heart attack in an instant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can give you a heart attack in an instant. I think we have 2 snow blowers but they require more force. It's faster to simply shovel snow than push a humpty dumpty snow blower. That's especially when the snow is soaked in water. We don't always get the light, fluffy snow. I'm already dreading the fall and winter as we post. Anyway, thanks!
