Some days there just is not enough Coffee or pain killers

[Greg Dent]

Doesn't happen very often but when I wake up with a stiff neck man it really screws up my day. It almost always goes into a head ache. I know its from my pillows and I am working on fixing that problem.

Greg believe me, I have alot of chocolate and pain killers too. That is my whole physical world.

[Greg Dent]

Ha Ha maybe thats the problem no chocolate. Hmm. LOL

even though we have nice weather during the day, it has been rough pain wise the last few days. I haven't slept hardly at all because my lower back is having fits and the pain radiates down my legs, I can't even sleep on my back due to the pain. I have only one side to sleep on and when you do that it makes your arm go numb. I am not sure what is going on for the pain to be so much. 

They said that Kansas and Oklahoma have had earthquakes lately, I wonder if some kind pressure in the atmosphere is involved with that. I know when the barometric pressure changes due to rain then my joints start hurting.

You are like a live barometer Deena!  I can't wait till the constant pain you and others endure will be a distant memory!  I think I finally got the meaning of the scripture we associate with not ever having to recall painful memories/never brought to mind.  They will not be wiped out entirely.  We will just not have to be plagued by them, causing anxiety and resentment.  Even now, my alarm clock goes off EVERY morning at 4:30 am.  I still set it for mornings that I am off because I LOVE to wake up and KNOW I can go back to sleep.  The mornings that I have to go to work I lay there and think I wish I could stay in bed just a little longer.  Now I get to.  If I slept right through without the alarm I would miss that wonderful feeling of turning off the alarm and languishing in bed longer.  Heres to you "recalling" the pain in the new world as you mount your beloved horse and take off to meet me and teach me how to ride!  Love you guys!

I have been enduring a pulled hamstring for the past 2 months. The treatment calls for staying off your feet with the leg up for 6 weeks ..... but, since I do not play professional sports, I do not make millions a year so I cannot afford to sit home with the leg up.

It is going on 2 months now .... doesn't hurt like it used to, but still a ways to go.

Awww, John.  Maybe you could sit with your leg elevated and Glen could sit on the floor in front of you and you could massage his neck and shoulders while Greg shares his chocolate with us and Deena could nap easily in the company of all her loving brothers and sisters while I fix dinner for you all since there does not seem to be a well body amongst all of you!

Awww what a nice visual. lol. I do like my feet rubbed, any takers. haha

Deena, that reminds  me.  My husband went to cosmetology school on a rehab program once.  I would kill me if he knew I said that.  Anyway, he went because, like I mentioned it was a rehab program (state made for hoping he would quit drinking and take up something that would provide a living for him).  Anyway. at that time being the person that he was then, he thought that school was in the afternoon, (no getting up early) and how hard could it be (he hated school) and what would be so bad about being around a bunch of women all day?  At that time he was in his prime, we had just met, he was a very charismatic  schmoozer, and women were really attracted to him.  There came a part that the class was going to have to do a foot massage and they were going to have the FOOTBALL PLAYERS from Kansas University (KU) in Manhattan, KS come to their class for massages.  OH NO!  No way was Rick going to massage "some big, burly jock's feet!"  So he told his instructor he would just take an F and be done with it.  She suggested he give one of the girls (classmates) a foot massage for the grade.  He was alright with that.  So he said if he was going to do this he was going to pick out the prettiest girl in class because surly she would have NICE feet.  So the day came and he got his supplies together, sat at her feet, tested the water and asked her to place them in the bath.  She did.  Then he had her take them out, put them on the towel he had on his knee and went to dry them.  As he began to put the lotion on them she goes "Ouch"...":What's wrong" he says--was I too rough?  "Oh no" she says "You just hurt my plantar wart" HAAAAAHAAAAAA!!  If you could have seen the expression on Rick's face it would tell the whole story.  That's what he got for trying to pick out the prettiest girl!  PS if you ever see him don't mention the cosmetology school...He likes to think that never happened!

 

I don't mind rubbing your feet!  I just want it in return.  Why does it never feel the same when you do it yourself?  I do have very nice feet!  No warts, callouses, corns.  But remember "all feet that carry the good news" are pretty in Jehovah's eyes!

Well i wound up having to call my boss and beg forgiveness but there was no way I could go to work today. I apologized and she said she understood. I haven't had a migraine this bad in months. When I get them it gets bad and this one was bad. I was ready to puke from it. I went back to bed about 10:30am and put a big cold pack on my head. Took  me about 5 minutes to fall asleep. Just got up at about 3 pm. I am still not feeling that great but at least i dont feel like my head will explode. going to lay low. Maybe a Cubata or 2 or 3 are in order.

Sorry for your pain Brother. For 6yrs now. I have been on Coedine & whatever will relieve pain. I do take a break from the pain pills. But find it works most of the time. I have slip disc due to an epidural that went wrong & The discs in my Neck have been affected too, Sometimes I find taking fish oils helps & glucosamine they help I suppose lubricate & repair the cartlidge & recently I discovered Lyrica A nerve pain pill. From the Drs. this helps too. I have suffered on and of with Migraines too. But Also swimming in a warm Pool is great. Relieves the pain in the body & in away your body is kinda floating in water so its a good stress relief. 

I also have on hand these Wheat pillows. you can buy them online or in a Chemist warehouse or a Silly Willy's bargain Shop.

 

 

 

Some come with Lavender & you heat them in the Microwave for 2 mins on High they are affective

Rubbing Lavender oil on your joints helps too.

We wont know ourselves in Paradise.

I too have been having this problem and I am reviewing pillows myself. Let me know if you find anything that works.  There are so many pillows out there that supposedly will help with neck pain, just hard finding the right one.

If we get together and start teasing, I can't swear that I won't say something. You will have to remind me, so funny. I will certainly rub your feet too!

My second daughter has gotten migraines since she was 4 or 5yrs old, it was awful because her head was on the cold linoleum and I was trying to move her and she kept telling me don't move my head off the floor. Once she got sick she slept for 24hrs and then felt better. She still has them as and adult but not as often.

I get severe neck pain that goes through my eyeballs. I have to lay on ice to numb as much of my neck as possible to get some relief. 

[Greg Dent]

I have not had one like this in 6 months maybe more. It was awful today. I am feeling better but I still feel pressure in my head right now. It turns my stomach and I just feel like garbage all day. I would rather have any other kind of pain in my leg body arm than one of these. I have had pulled muscles that hurt less than one of these migraines.
