Your humble host has managed to pinch a nerve in his neck and is in considerable pain. It’s funny, I’ve always prided myself on a fairly high tolerance for pain. But while short term pain, like smacking my thumb with a hammer, is easy to shrug off, anything approaching chronic pain, like the last 3 days of neck pain, makes us a whimpering baby. How our wounded guys tolerate it without becoming utterly strung out on drugs is a miracle. I’m not a big fan of pain medications, but, apparently, I am a big fan of whining.
At any rate, I’m probably gonna take the rest of the day off.


Don’t let Sox know, lest he finish you off for the insurance money!
That would be a big plus for the revenge part.
I feel your pain. I had a pinched nerve at C5/C6 back in 2004. Had a disc removed and the two fused. Just had the back fixed, where the spinal cord itself was being compromised and have L5/S1 fused after another disc removal. You can paliate it for awhile, but you will eventually call on the services of a Neurosurgeon. That’s the only permanent solution, alas.
The plus side is you have the opportunity to get narcotics afterwards. Just don’t let them plug you up as a friend had happen to him.
Hope you feel better soon, Brad.
