Saturday I woke up and my right leg hurted. It hurted good. Pain scale 1 to 10 easily an 8. So I toughed it out till Monday. I took off work,dropped off my client,then went to my doctor. She confirmed that I had a pinched nerve,but then she just prescribed me a bunch of pain killers and said that if it keeps acting up in the next 2 days to come back and she'll refer me to a back doctor.
Well,the pain killers make me numb,and tomorrow will be day 2. I haven't been to work since but I will be at work tommorow. My leg still owie but I'm gonna tough it out cause it's a real strain on my fellow workers when I'm not there. I'll call my doc tommorow so she can refer me.
But now for the reason for this post.
All the women in my life say that I'm a BIG BABY! That I over exaggerate. That men whine over the littlest pain. I haven't complained at all and although I have trouble walking I don't ask for help. Even my fellow co workers think I'm a baby as well.
Now I know it's true that men will never experience childbirth,but women will never know what it would feel like to have your balls kicked in either.
Women think that men don't know pain.
That to me is BULLSHIT!!
.....I wish my mommie was here. SHE understands.

Approach the women who laugh at you.
Quickly but firmly grasp their left nipple and twist it as hard as you can.
Laugh at the crybabies.
Fuck the ones who get excited.

I have noticed a general trend amongst men that I have known... it's never a headache, it's brain cancer. It's never a cold, it's flu, but then it'll be a chest infection. It's not a stomach ache, it's an ulcer. It's never the shits, it's IBS. Etc etc. And what is it about not being able to take liquid medicine? Why does it HAVE to be tablets??

I think that on a whole, when a man gets ill, he wants to be looked after the way his mum used to look after him when he was ill as a kid. I think women in general don't want to feel as though they're causing any trouble or being a burden on anyone else when they're ill.

I still think you're a cry baby though ;p

it doesn't HAVE TO be tablets, but they are preferable. i'd rather taste the dr pepper i'm washing it down with than the medicine itself.

the thing about wanting to be looked after like mum did explains why i usually refuse to acknowledge illness, though.

Man, I had a injury involving a 10 stair handrail and a skateboard that thoroughly fucked my foot. See pics here:





Regardless, that was about 2 years ago. I pinched a digital nerve somewhere in my foot, but it hurts worse right smack in between my big toe, and the one next to it. It sucks bro, alot of times it feels like someone is jabbing 100 needles at once into my foot. It gets so bad that I cant have pressure on it (like a shoe for instance). My nerve surgeon pretty much told me to get use to it if I didnt want to have the surgery (which has a chance of fucking up my foot worse). The cool thing is, when its not hurting I feel NOTHING in that area, absolutely nothing. I took a lighter to my flesh until I burnt my skin. I couldnt even feel the blister the next day, and it was huge.

It would be cool if they could just kill this one nerve that travels down my entire leg. It's amazing how it generates from my spine and my back dosen't hurt at all.
I'm doing the Yoga and will ask for the physical theraphy,mouse. I'm off to work. I'm gonna get sooo much simpathy......no,probably teasing.

That would not give me joy.

Pinched nerves can fucking hurt.

If its pinched between muscles you'll be fine, muscle relaxants and pain killers will have you back to normal inside of two days. If its pinched between vertabrae, you are fucked my friend. TIME TO OPERATE.

Yoga, to remove an existing pinched nerve, is insanity. Ignatz obviously hates you and wishes you permenant injury.

For what it's worth LF, I developed damn near debilitating pinched nerved-style back pain some time ago. All told, it lasted about 2 weeks. Since I'm not a gigantic pussy and I prefer to try to figure out what's causing the problem, rather than take drugs to try to make the symptoms less noticeable and since I'd never had back problems before, I started analyzing my routines and looking for things that had changed recently. I finally figured out that I had started sleeping in a slightly different position since I had moved into a new place recently and gotten a new bed. After 2 nights of making a conscious effort to go back to my old way of sleeping, it cleared itself up completely.

Since I sadly know a lot more about your life than I'd really care to, I'd say that there's at least a slight chance that you're going through a similar thing, with that experimental new brain damage reversing mask you've started sleeping with. I'd start experimenting with different sleeping positions.

These idiots, LF. All you need to do is a simple relaxing excercise that you can do while watching TV or reading or whatever.

Simply assume the pose below and hold it for about 20 minutes. Make sure you breathe deeply the whole time. Your leg will feel better in no time. Easy as pie.

Your welcome.

Yea. It felt better today. It's still there but at least I could walk further without having to sit.
I'll stay optimistic. What I did do before this happened was I took out the christmas tree and all the other christmas junk Friday night. I bet I did something then.
I always have slept on my back,but that mask may have something to do with it too.
