I've noticed a lot of Swarmers are broken-assed mother fuckers. Scoliosis, bones fucked up, all kids of injuries. I know I'm not the only one who hurts. I'm curious what you other buggers suffer through, and how you get throught the worst.
My back is permanently wasted. This week has been a real dog for pain for me. I've been unable to walk for the last few days or do anything but crawl and cry, today being the first in five that I could even sit up and type at all, and that's only because of the 16 vicodin, 12 darvon, six topomax, 6 -1000mg ibuprophin and a half pint of whiskey with eight beers that allow me to sit upright and whimper out a brief snivel online. Rosie is at her wit's end. I want to be dead rather than keep going through the pain, but keep going on for the sake of those around me. Surgery is not an option. It will only get more intense as I get older.
Where is the hope?

Goat, My wief has similar back trouble though not to the extent that your describing. She pops the pills with some frequency, but also sees a chiropracter and gets massage therapy (real deep muscle massage, not touchy-feely massage). She seems to benefit from it (though it can be expensive as it's not covered by insurance). Don't know what avenues you've tried; you've likely been there, but when it comes to pain, I figure whatever works for you, go with it and don't tie yourself down to conventional medicine if it's not working. Acupuncture also may have benefits. Try every remedy available, and if you're still suffering, well, then you can always shake your fist at the sky and wait for the stars to be right. Hopefully the Great Old One will be merciful and take us all quickly. Unlikely though. Fukcer.

I dont know where you reside beachgoat but I have similar back
problems as you.Scoliosis,two partially crushed discs.......
If there is
one of these near you I would go to it.You get 60 visits for free.Then they
want you to buy one of the beds ($3,000).I swear by these beds.You
feel %1000 percent better after laying on one of these for an half hour.

I've tried over the last five years all kinds of things, but not this. I 'm about 250 south and north of La and san frn, 100 north of santa barb. That's a long way to travel in pain. Also i can't seem to figure out exactly what they're selling, but it doesn't look like worker's comp will cover it. (moot point if it works!) I'll look into it. Thnx!

I destroyed my back when I was 19 on the job. Tried to bar off a 7000 lb bundle of rebar by myself with a 8 foot bar...
Workers comp claim was denied as my Dad owns the company.
11 years later my back goes out every 3 - 4 months and constant pain everyday. Mine is muscle only, nothing to do with vertebrae etc.
Best thing ever though, my Fiance bought me a vibating office chair last Christmas, I can drag my ass into it sit their sobbing with it vibratin' away and I shit you not, 10 days average recovery time is down to 4 or 5. I want to make love to my chair but dont know how.

You dont have to buy the bed.They just want you to try the bed out,
( you get 60 visits)and then they hope that you like it so much that
you will buy one.
Here is the bed
The first link I posted just took you to a list of available Migun centers
in various states.I have been to the one near me 5 times and I have to
tell you that it was fuckin awsome!!
When you first visit the place,they will have you fill out a really short
paper,then you watch a 3 minute video,then you lay on the bed for
34 minutes.(it seems like 10 minutes cuz it feels so fuckin good).
After your initial visit you dont have to fuck around talking to anyone.
Just go in,find a bed,lay down and enjoy.
I know I probably sound like I am selling these but man these fucking
things rock!!

I don't sleep well. I always lay in bed for an hour and a half before I fall asleep, tossing and turning. I just can't force my mind to shut down. When I wake up I usually have a headache, my back hurts, and I'm tired throughout the day. It sucks. I wish I didn't have to sleep at all.

because you're alot younger than goat who's back problems stem from a life of labour, I diagnose that you're sleeping and back problems comes from your over-wanking.

left ankle : metal plate and 14 pins (brokeun fibula)
dislocated left middle finger
calcium deposits in knees a.k.a (swellknee)
left eyelid stiched together + 8 fun novocaine shots
upper lip stitched together
chin stiched together
I also am convinced that every joint in my body pops.
Pain varies from day to day most of which is mental.

i have a crushed disk, i get periods (1 week-2 months) where i can't turn my head, and pain radiates down my arms. i am sure most people would be bedridden, but i am used to living and working with it. my knees ache so bad, i can't sleep. and like sexninga, my mind whirls at night, i wake often during the night, lucid and aware of my timeline, my decaying family, and the knowledge that those in my life are rapidly disappearing. today is my son's birth date. i know what to do for my pain, much beer and many bowls.

my knees fuck with me. They pop every time I breathe, it seems like. And for a long time they never hurt, just popped all the time, cracked when I walked up the stairs, kneeled, etc..
Now, If I sit on my knees, or kneel down, or sit indian style for too long (5 minutes or so) the joints get really really sore and I can't even walk for around 2-3 minutes. I'm not sure what to do about it, but I'm really worried about the future seeing as how I'm only 24.

My major dammage is all in my head. Physicaly I'm in better shape than a lot of guys half my age.
I smoke, drink gallons of black, hi-test coffee and my diet sucks.
About 15 years ago I had major arthritis in my back and knees. I was in constant pain for about 5 years. A friend suggested that I get some Reiki treatmens so I gave it a try. After 2 treatments the pain went away and the arthritis did too. It hasn't bothered me since.

Reconstructive surgery on my left knee twice (ACL) means I can't bend it very well anymore. Still play football though.
I got these two big ass bumps on my foward from when I was a kid. Looks like I got horns growing out.
And I gotta get a screw implanted in my jaw for a fake tooth. |

Senor Smoke, while that bed may work great, I’m sure its the same device they strap you to in Alien Abduction Anal Probings. But hell if it stops the pain then jump right on.

Sometimes my neck and upper back get a little tight from working at a computer and pushing a mouse around all day long, requiring me to get a theraputic full body massage once a month or so.
And if I wank more than three times a day my winkie gets a little sore.

I used to live in this house in Dublin with 3 or 4 Irish. The landlord had been to America and learned how to be sleazy. When my lease was about up, the landlord started showing people my room while I was out and lying about it. I didn't know what he was up to, but suspected the worst, so I took my shit (I was backpacking, so I had very little shit) and went to stay with this chick out of the city.
One of the dudes I lived with called me, worried that I was trying to skip on the last rent payment, and threatened me with reiki. He said he was one pissed-off dude and that shit would work across the atlantic.
If it helps to fill in any blanks, this guy, for his 30th birthday, went and hung out with a tree somewhere in a park, and came back and told us he met a man there who was, and I'm quoting, "thousands of years old!"

OMG REALLY?!!!
The only "pain" I experience is similar to straydog's - my knees pop constantly, and it worries me. I also have messed up throwing arm from too many attempts to throw people out from deep left field.
Remember kids, always stretch and warm up.

I suffer from subconjunctival hemmoraghing, where my eyes get terribly bloodshot and I get tremendous eye strain/pain (and an accompanying headache) if I focus any more than a foot in front of my face. Fortunately, episodes are short lasted (a week, tops) and few and far between (only a couple of times a year at this point). My eye doctor has no good explanation, other than possible eye strain due to computer work. Stop hurting me you fukers!
