Rush thread ping to ATRW

Hi MHK !!! long time from situation room threads!

New situation ..

Pain in ones back is different for everyone & we should all be careful to laugh it off & minimize the problem.

I have severe back pain..Been progressively worse for 20 years...Onset about 40 years ago.... but I also have an active life.

Answer is lots of over the conter meds. People who say one can live with the pain, don't know what they are talking about. 20 years ago I went from moderate to heavy user. do I like this? not particularly. But I like the pain much less.

My brother who has had similar problems has had two back surgeries & both have made the problem worse. SOme get good results .. others get disasters. Running to the knife for an quick fix is not always the correct thing to do.

His answers aren't easy. If he successfully gets off the meds the problem of the pain is still there(as was addressed by several posts prior)

My thoughts on Rush is that if anything there is probably been a dulling effect of his mind / show. Heaven help the RATS when he no longer has half his brain tied behind his back...and is free from this demon.

*G*

Prayers to our friend in conservativism - Rush.. may he through this find God in a new and meaningful way... I feel certain that there will be people in his life in the next few weeks who will be there for him in the spiritual as well as medical & emotional sense.
