The TOO dump thread
- Thread starter hickslawns
- Start date
Man when it rains it pours...............Laura was cooking at home, top burner on and then turned on the oven. After a few minutes she smelled gas and the oven was cold. She called me, told her TOO turn the burner off, open the windows, long story short we needed a new starter in the oven, $179.00. So next I get TOO another Rig and heard grinding on my breaks. Found a local shop and had both front and back breaks done, $440.00. Not what I needed right now. Truck is a 2012 and has 58,900 miles but with the roads I drive going TOO the rig that are curvy, up and down so I am not surprised but it still sucks TOO have TOO come up with that cash. Don't need it right now. Fuggggggg.
Couldn't agree more. These are "First world problems." We aren't sitting in our hut wondering if the tin roof will blow off in the next storm. We aren't wondering if our kids will starve or get medical attention in a timely manner. Life is really pretty dang good!

I got me a case of Torticollis (Wry Neck, Sprained Neck, whatever you call it).........most painful 4 days of my life after putting lids on a Jalapeno jars as hard as I could while canning. Twist lid, pop neck, and knees buckled as what appeared to be struck by lightening. I've been exercising, stretching, and applying heat to no avail. Be getting with a Doctor tomorrow (closed today) to straighten my neck and check for a pinched nerve. Its almost dehabilitating.

Welcome to my world for the last two months....
My only way to deal with it was traction and deep muscle massage....
My issue didn't seem to mirror yours as much but it was a pinched nerve.... Anti inflammatory and lots of water and stretching in between traction therapy...

Great! It's a stern constant pain...like three hot knives...one stuck in the back of the neck, another under the left shoulder blade, while the third stuck in the trap on top the shoulder. Meanwhile those muscles are jumping around uncontrollably and my nerves are on fire. I can't get good sleep for the past 3-4 nights. Being swamped at work this week hasn't helped much either. A grumpy Ben works here this week with a grimace on my face because of the pain. Seeking some help tomorrow as I'm tired of the fight.
The anti inflammatory should reduce the symptoms by at least half, I'd start looking for a deep muscle massage therapy place and plan on going at least once a week... It won't cure the issue but will also reduce the symptoms by another 30-40%....
Find a home healthcare store and ask about the neck traction that uses a water bag for the weight... It hangs over the door and you sit straight up and let the weight pull the head and neck up to relieve the pinching... I typically do 15 minutes 3 times a day and have been for the last 2 months and my problem is mostly gone... Took almost a month and a half to get to this point...
Ben this is similar to what I have been using... Primitive but works....

Just talked to my dad and my little cousin went to rehab for heroin today. Little bastard was a like a younger brother to me. He best friend died of an OD not long ago after he got out of rehab and went straight to his dealer. Little fuck has a baby girl at home too. I'd strangle him right now if I could. Always thought he was smart enough to know better.
It's getting to be we all know "that person (s)" anymore....
Sorry to hear of it but glad to hear he's seeking help for it... Hopefully it sinks in too him the path he's on is a one way to a cemetery....
