Funguy

I truly sympathize.
I went thru a very long period of severe lower back pain, herniated discs, degenerative arthritis, etc etc and I finally gave up my medical practice when I was 49. I had already had 2 surgeries (fusion and discectomy) which vastly improved my condition but not enough not to be able to have a productive life.
A very good pain doc gave up on me and referred me to a colleague who was amazing. He was formally an anesthesiologist who switched to pain management. He was also against surgery for most cases because of side issues - my problems mostly turned out to be scar tissue (from trauma rather than the earlier surgeries) wrapped around nerve roots and it is just about impossible to get rid of it. He was able to do epidural endoscopy ( put a scope into the epidural space) and scrape the scar tissue away from the nerves but it never lasted.
He said the same - it hopefully will burn itself out. Roughly 15 years later it is finally beginning to ease up.
Of course I wind up taking 10 mg norco every night but that is certainly better than needing it during the day, too. That's why I sold my medical practice - I couldn't afford to take a chance with taking the meds AND working at the same time.
 
Several other things helped immensely - he had a psychologist in his office who specialized in hypnosis and who taught me self hypnosis in order for me to control my own perceptions of the pain - it's been years and I still use the self hypnosis, esp. on the now rare instances when the pain is exvruciating.
 
I had multiple epidural endoscopies and radiofrequency denervations to literally burn/kill certain nerves - took a number of sessions but ultimately was successful.
 
I also use marijuana edibles - every night - sleep is wonderful esp without any kind of hangover in the am.
 
Mind you, my problems were thoracic and lumbar not cervical. My bro-in-law had neck issues and had a fusion performed, still had pain but much less and I referred him to my doc who did a series of epidurals which worked like a charm. But they must be done by an EXPERT. They were done under anesthsia and with fluoroscopy to guarantee being in the right location.
 
The point of this is that should you try to wait this out without surgery, find yourself the best pain management specialist available and don't settle for one who just does an epidural and gives you pills. The interesting thing about opiates is that you can take them for long periods without addiction IF THE BODY IS IN PAIN. You may develop tolerance whereby you might begin to require higher doses but you can quit and have no withdrawal. If the body DOES NOT need them, you do become addicted.
 
As far as the edibles, I can't say that it is the CBD because I am using a hybrid preparation which gets me to sleep and helps my appetite.
 
Truly, good luck!

Something to think about - have the earlier medical issues led to changes in how you move? Like are you walking differently, tending to lean more to one side, etc? A lot of times these little compensations add up over time and then suddenly your body just says, no more. But fixing the movement patterns might address the pain as well as surgery. (and the surgery you are already having might lead you to stop doing whatever was causing the new pain).

I prescribe HGH all the time in my anti-aging practice.
Start with .5 iu and once used to it with no side effects (joint swelling, achiness are the most common) then increase to 1.0 iu. Only on occasion do I go higher for 1 simple reason: $$$$$.
 
HGH is very expensive, esp if you get it already mixed and in the ready to use injector. MY cost is nearly $750 per 30 day supply if used daily. Of course, all you gym rats must know "someone" who can get it cheaper, incl. down Mexico way.
 
I do not start my anti-aging hormone replacement patients immediately but wait until all of their hormones are at optimum levels. Then I add it if the patient wants to tweak their good-feeling and also only if they are going to routinely work out.
 
In addition, HGH is a terrific adjunct to healing - sprains, fractures. lacerations, etc. I would definitely use it prior to and after surgery.
 
Another compound, frequently mixed up with HGH is Hcg (human chorionic gonadotropin). It is used in the same way - after the hormones are optimized use 2 consecutive days mid round of testosterone. Really enhances results of workout and is MUCH CHEAPER and now can be give ORALLY! My patients love it.

He really is at the top of the pile...and it's really just the way he is. The best.
If you dont connect, keep trying til you do. He's worth every second!

Ah, Alec Andrews...the memories cum flooding back!!! I hope the man is doing well. (I have @tyro to thank for meeting Alec and I'll always be tremendously grateful to her for that, among so many other things - Thank You, beautiful lady!)

Been seeing him for over 3 years now. In my opinion he's the best out there. Pretty much open to anything. Makes sure you're having a great time.

Mike Gaite is among the best escorts working today. If you have the chance, do not miss meating with him!
 
I've had a number of excellent, high quality sessions with Mike, and he will (literally!) bend over backwards to satisfy his clients!!!
:)

Yes, I am speaking about my favorite kind of guy - the one that takes the bottom bunk. When reviewing some of the hiring sites, a lot of guys are advertising as "submissive bottoms" nowadays. Hardly any "active bottoms" which is more my things.
 
When I think "submissive" bottom, the image that comes to mind is a guy that just lies there meekly or only acts when asked. Personally, I really enjoy spending time with a guy that is an active partner in the bedroom. Tell me what feels good or if you need a position change, for pity's sake! Of course "ferocious bottoms" or "dominant bottoms" may be taking things too far in the opposite direction... (Yes, I am picky AF)
 
Am I being unfair to subs? Do I misinterpret the concept?

That's exactly how I feel....but I also want to respect his privacy and own time so I refrain ;-(

If it were me, I would get the shots and then if I got Shingles again go get medication - probably Valtrex.

Just wanted all to know that Tristan is still the best! Today I spent the afternoon with him where we went to the spa at Paris Las Vegas and then back to my room. Sorry I’m so biased but you can’t fault someone who is such a beautiful person, both inside and out.

Yes - absolutely get both shots.
There are shortages of the vaccine so if and when you have the chance, don't pass it up!
 
Again, for those of you who have had the old vaccine (the new one has been in wide use only about 6-8 months), get the new one!!!

Cock a doodle doo!

As long as good hygiene is observed, proper precautions taken during sex (circumcision is found to reduce incidence of HIV significantly), and you dont catch your foreskin in your zipper, I would not recommend the procedure as an adult - pain, infection, pain, pain and more pain. And dont forget the risk of infection.
As far as the zipper goes, years ago in my ER days, Fridays and Saturdays were not complete unless you had at least 1 guy stuck.

In my mouth: then I swallow his nectar to the last drop. Bliss. My second favorite is when he cums on his abs. I then use his load as lube to rub my dick on his belly with his still hard cock teasing my ass, and I cum all over him.

@Mikegaite is amazing. Great kisser, very reciprocal in everything he does. If I weren't so busy I'd see him more.

One of the best around, bar none. I’ve heard he likes to read the morning paper while enjoying a cup of coffee, too.

Mike Gaite is one of the nicest and most attractive guys around. If he is in your neck of the woods I wouldn’t hesitate to meet him.

Usual side effects at dose between 0.5 and 2.0 iu daily are usually transient - achy joints, fluid retention. Usually gone in a couple of weeks.
