Thread: I quit..

hang in there

ShilohRed, I don't feel that you were complaining as much as reaching out. Let us pray for you and that will help. I for one, have a lot of pain at times. Mostly arthritis and pain from old injuries. I still get to fish, but after rough water days, I feel it for the next few days. I wish I could take away enough of yours, so you could have a fishing trip. God bless you and if you have hung in for 19 years, you are man enough to hang in for more. I believe God only deals out the tough stuff to those that can take it.

Couldn't have said it any better than that dp. Amen and prayers sent.

I have had back problems for many years myself. My L4 and L5 are both bad. I was lucky to find a great chiropractor that has kept me from having to have surgery. I still have some issues from time to time but I am able to do most things that I want including fishing. You may want to try to find you a chiropractor in your area and try it before surgery. It has worked for me and I just wanted to pass the info along to anyone else that it might help. I wish you the best.

Just do what I do when I can't fish....pick out somebody here and smack em up side the head and make fun of em. I can't say it helps any, but it does make me giggle. And giggling is good for the soul. I suggest G. He's an excellent whipping boy and could really use tuning up more often.

Hope your pain eases and your not as done as you think you are.

Guy's thanks and prayer is the best. God does answer them may not be in the way or time we want. But he hears them and sure will answer them in his way.
I have had 2 surgerys both failed. Back pain is not that big of an issue, its both legs and feet that is killer. Thinking I have had 22 nerve blocks over the years. Some helped but the last 5 did more damage then good.
chiropractor Been going to one for over 12 years. I was in a wheel chair when I started going to him. With in a month he had me back walking. I go from 3 times per week to one time per week. They have been on vacation the last 2 weeks. That is one reason its been so bad. This am got in and he put needles in my back and stuff. Feel some better can stand up and move some now.
Thanks for everyone letting me get this on my chest. It helps at times to just say it out loud. That is what has me going today. I will not give up. But man days like the last 5 makes you wonder. The last few months been taking Oxycontin 80 MG a day and fast acting pain meds also.

Again thanks for the prayers.
