Funguy

I had L3-4 fusion 19 years ago when the anterior approach was still in it's infancy. Since the stress then went to the next level down, I tore the disc at L4-L5. Rehab PT was not very helpful until I found a trainer who specialized in rehabbing backs. Then 3 days a week for 2 solid years (I missed about 3 appointments) - I had a great body then and was "relatively" pain free. Who knew chronic degenerative arthritis was then going to be a problem? Would i have surgery again? YES - given the problem (spondylolisthesis - slipping vertebrae). But since the arthritis I am in some degree of pain all the time; I've had numerous pain management procedures, each helps a bit, and I accept it. I simply live life not allowing the pain to control me but the other way around.

As Rudynate said, "Been there, done that!" Fusion, later on a discectomy for torn disc. Albeit lower spine but the principle is all the same. I would do ANYTHING to avoid surgery. It is extremely common, usually resolves with meds such as Meloxicam. Having also gone the route of gabapentin (Neurontin) I would try to stay away from that as well - a great propensity to screw up your memory while on the medicine at the higher dosages. I would also consider rest, heat, even ultrasound. If having an acute episode, consider ice to the neck, followed 24 hours or so later with heat. As i see a pain management specialist for chronic pain, I am well-versed in the options and, from experience, tho pain relievers do relieve the pain, they do not get to the root of the problem - nerve irritation. You need the anti-inflamatories. Sometimes if Meloxicam at 15 mg does not work, also try adding a muscle relaxer such as Flexeril or Soma (carisoprodol) - either may make you drowsy so please do not operate heavy machinery. Always let your doctor prescribe for you. If symptoms continue you may consider specialized physical therapy with traction to reduce to compression. Good luck Gman - I do feel for you. Funguy

As I said, wowzer! Actually, I'm going to stick with my Japanese Clovers, tho 2 pair, cross-connected like an "X", not looped, could be extreme fun! Nips can be so tasty. I'm afraid if I get too hungry, esp. with a nippy-niner, with the magnetic balls I might then have to go to the DENTIST for a removal. And what dentist, WG, would be that discrete as to not laugh when the problem is explained?

OH GOD!! I just got back on the grid after 2 weeks away and I am so blown away I don't know what to do next! (actually I do, but that's private!)

Jackpot, WG. Avvertimento for sure. Too bad there's no sound. Now I really don't need my double expresso to get up - I'm already there!

Oh God! He's doing it again!!

Notice how the tiger hits that meat right in the center!

I wasn't so sure about that action if it was a dildo , BUT, WG, a TENS unit tingling, stimulating, pulsating on the "constant" setting. Shocking, I tell you. Just shocking!

+3 And the link - Yes, indeed, sir.

Reminds me very much of something I did just recently!

Anal, huh?!

LOL - I didn't want to say anything but remember Parkay Margarine with the 'fresh and creamy taste"?!

odm! (omg)

As above…the pic is an hors d'oeuvre…a small morsel. But then the link. Yes, yes, yes, but…I think I might prefer a well-lubed hand instead of the flashback. IMHO only.

Add wowzer! Also, in #3, don't you like how just as the picture repeats there's that little jump as the nipple is touched! I'll just rest my eyes, thinking of #2 in the sequence.

Yep…black is the better color!

Yep…I'll go with that!

How are you doing, WG2?

Oh yeah! Black, too, but only if really tight!

Of course, you would. Have fun later! Remember la mosca sul muro!

That's really too bad. I retired 16 years ago at 50 (back issues), got bored, and now i'm back working 5 days a week and I love it! Of course, no more hospital rounds, no night call, work only when i feel like it but that turns out to be all the time.

Come to think of it, RSully, why wouldn't they say, "Oh I like….." but some just don't. I'll be curious how many escorts will respond. I started a thread many moons ago about what fantasies do escorts have - not many at all responded. One would think that all of this would make us better clients if we knew.

Although I am a client, I explain to my guys that 1/2 of MY pleasure is knowing what THEY like and I ask them to tell me. That way we both have great fun. Some do but some just say they like it all and are not very specific.

happy thanksgiving to all (and you, too, wg, bvb)

Ohhhhhh, WG……..splat!
