Random stuff - the anything else thread

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I don't mind where it's put, but I don't have a fatty liver or gastro or GERD problems, and I don't take cannabis products. I suppose we could have a back problems thread but then it's all starting to get a bit ridiculous I think that random people discussing random issues and random ways to address those issues sits pretty well in a Random Stuff thread.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Cheers spouse of scouse, pain relief is what I'm after these days.
My doc back in CH (well, one of them) said that my back was basically buggered - to use the technical term - and very much pooh-poohed my question regarding a potential spinal fuse; I only mentioned it as I remember that it brought my mum back to life big time after so, so many years of absolute agonv.
She worked nights for years as an auxiliary nurse in a maternity wing offshoot scary monster building about 5 miles off the main hospital, but it was in in our village, so her commute by bicycle was do-able, kind of.
But my doc said no, not for me.
Good that you discussed the use of CBD with your doc. It can have negative/nullifying effects when taken with other medication.
Hang on, I just re-read your post, you said "Surgeon is trying to avoid another spinal fusion." Another? Is this related to the car smash of a while back?
Even if you declared yourself horse, best count me out of the shoot squad, my eyesight is really not up to it.
Late thought: Would this sub-discussion be better placed in "Fatty livers & gastro thugs" ?
I'll hit the report thingy and ask nicely.
Even later thought (when in the report thingy page): "Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts."
So I didn't.

Gawd, your poor mum. Nursing is so hard on the spine, I'm glad she finally got some relief. The scary monster building sounds scary and, well, monstrous!
I had a cervical spinal fusion after the car accident. My entire cervical spine is like your back, knackered, and every fusion you have further weakens the levels above and below. Think of it as degenerative disc disease on the fastest speed setting.
I would never ask anyone I liked to shoot me. Neigh.

I think my dad's back took a year or more to fuse on it's own after his car accident. Because it was happening naturally he and his doctor didn't opt for electronic fusion, but he had to wear a brace until it was finished.

That brace must have been uncomfortable for him. Great result in the end though.

Four years, dear lord I thought my 3 year fight with the insurance company after my accident was bad!

Have "hefted" the CBD/back issues discussion over to here.
