Look up portable moxibustion applicator in amazon. It’s a Chinese remedy for pain and uses hot air going through some herb pellet . My son has been using it for a couple of years on his back after the surgery, it works and it’s not expensive.Sometimes I wish I had a Harry Potter's wand and make people go up into smoke. -
I very well might have to. My new insurance prescription plan if in totally fuckery over my doctor writing me long term hydrocodone. The pharmacy said that 7 days wile cost me $253.00 and after that they will not honor the rest of the remaining month. I have a $590.00 deductible on Rx's per year. If they are going to count this as the year and it starts again in January fuck them.Comment

Insurances are screwing everybody. Mine is going up to $440 a month for parts B and C because they say we make too much. I can’t complain my heart surgery, doctors visits and million medications and I haven’t pay a dime and I get to chose my doctors and hospitals. Try hat thing it’s only like $39.00 .Sometimes I wish I had a Harry Potter's wand and make people go up into smoke.Comment

Almost as bad as the Frigging V.A. .. How close are you to the border of Mexico? I know guys that go their and get their meds for pennies on the dollar compared to here.I very well might have to. My new insurance prescription plan if in totally fuckery over my doctor writing me long term hydrocodone. The pharmacy said that 7 days wile cost me $253.00 and after that they will not honor the rest of the remaining month. I have a $590.00 deductible on Rx's per year.

The wonderful A holes at the V.A. just gave me Buprenorphine for pain. Well that is great they work very well cept for one frigging problem. They put Naloxone in with it in the ones they dispense to us vets. So their 'Buprenorphine with Naloxone'. Naloxone is a fancy name for 'NARCAN' which is and emergency med for drug overdoses.
What the F$%K good is that a pain med with a med to negate the pain med. Holy sheeet.
I told the Dr. that is like buying a corvette and riding around with the emergency brakes on...

Wow that's really fucked up. Now that I have been on the new Rx for Hydrocodone for a few days I'm getting use to it. At first the headaches where very bad and I was pissing every 30 minutes at night. They started me on low dosage so at least I'm not having the opioid shit like deer pellets. t has decreased the pain pretty goo so far, but with it being cold here currently I haven't been doing much. I need to find me a ride to Waco for the 3 different procedures that I will be getting.

Opioids...no fucking way. They gave me one right after surgery and when it was wearing off I started shaking and feeling cold.....I told them no more..."The only other thing I can give you is Tylenol.. Tylenol it is, I saw my son semi hooked on that crap after his surgery and it was bad getting him off. I'll take the pain before I take that stuff again. I'd take you to Waco but I'm 1,200 miles away.Sometimes I wish I had a Harry Potter's wand and make people go up into smoke.👍 1Comment

For decades they said that nerves don't re-grow.
BUT if you get a nerve ablation in the spine for back pain, the nerves re-grow.
So... only the nerves that you don't need will re-grow. The others won't.

well, he will always have some pain, he's got two titanium rods and twelve screws on his back for life. Pain is better and worse depending on weather, how much he walks, what he did, etc. but some pain will always be there. The other day he said he's finally able to sleep on his side. Yesterday we were dong stuff at the Sanibel house and he was active so today will be a bad day. But he was left for paraplegic at one hospital, even the second hospital said he was questionable, it was only one very old man, Dr Green, the founder of the spinal cord center at U of Miami who learned of him being there and showed up, did a couple of simple tests and said "You will walk again". It's been what? two years I think. The private therapist we got came the first day saw him on bed and told him " If you move your toes I'll get you to walk". He did.Sometimes I wish I had a Harry Potter's wand and make people go up into smoke.Comment
