  and if you can walk, and it is better in 3 days, it's probably a pull.. a pull - let the body heal it.. with rest.. treat with painkillers/anti-inflammatories like aspirin, ponstan, indocid.. the salicylates.. those are very effective..

  you'll be fine soon..

  is it possible to have both a blocked and pinched nerve, albeit different nerves but in same area, say claves, hamstrings etc?

  dunno.. just know what they're checking for..

  i had a pretty messed up back which required surgery in the past...

  btw.. no soreness after bowling 4 games yesterday.. spinning with a 10lb ball...

  in a few weeks, i figure i'll be strengthened enough that i'm going to try using my old 14lb reactive ball again

  I dunno I think the zapper is fantastic for pain relieve :x

  yeah.. it's good stuff..

  it tricks the nerves into not feeling the pain and also the electrical charges help short circuit the bits causing muscle spasms..

  at least that's what the physio said

  you guys probably saved a lot of dough with that zapper. i went for physio every week for about 6 months and all they did was zap electricity thru me.

  don't think my injuries were that extensive - it was only 6 months. and each session was only 30 min. just that the bother of going to and fro.

  i think im having insomnia.. tossing and turning on the bed from 1am-4+am and then waking up at 6.30 feeling refreshed...

  6 months is pretty intense for an injury...

  is it? i thought it was pretty normal. guess they had to do it till it was at least 80% of what it was. even know, when i flex my foot, the "injured" one doesn't go back all the way as the other. but good enough for me to continue living.

  none of the typical "causes" of a blocked nerve applied to me. guess it's one of those random events.

  ciao!

  all would be well if a truck ran over my mad boss.. a few times..

  i don't even need a truck to run over her.. a really fast bicycle would do

  it's bad karma.. but hey.. i'm honest

  Your boss must be really annoying that you are constantly cursing her....

  Not sure if anyone remember me talk about my boss from my previous employment when I was still working there.... Anyway, just got news few weeks ago that she got the sack.  Apparently one of the clients put in a formal complaint against her.
