    If it's so bad, surgery maybe the only option

    I had facset joint injections in my neck. Dreadful procedure but did give me releif. The idea is to relieve the damaged joint and kill off nerves so you don't feel the pain.
    Costly, had it done in the Sports Surgry Clinic in Santry.

    I've had traction treatment too. Essentially while lying on your back they run a belt round under your arms to hold your upper body in place. Then a winch is attached round your waist and switched on. Each session lasts about an hour. You have a panic button in case the pain gets too much. Had it for six weeks four times a week. Really it's just a form of torture. Took about an hour after each session before I could stand and walk.

    But you're alright now, time means nothing if you recover properly, have heard loads of horror stories but I'm sure thousands are done every year

    I suppose alright is subjective.
    I have back pain across my whole back every day. Stiffness too. Breaks my sleep every night.
    Motion in my neck is limited to about 70%.
    I have nerve pain in one arm and numbness in two fingers if I work it much, grape shovel or brush.
    I get sciatica pain in one leg with numbness in foot and toes.

    But you know what, none of it will kill me. Slow me down and make me moan
    And bitch plenty, but won't kill me.
    So I'm alright.

    That's unreal, is it genetic or injury, when mine kicks off I definitely look forward to relief, don't know if I could handle it all the time.
    but I'm really lucky at the moment. 62 now, how bad can it get, was told at 48 to live with it

    If you had gone to Mass, that wouldn't have happened!

    A neighbour of ours was trying to give up the cigarettes. He had been off them for 6 months and one day he dropped a stone onto his foot and broke it. He went back on the fags that day and when he was in the pub the following week, the barmaid asked him why he went back on them having been off them so long. He replied that if he had been smoking a fag instead of lifting stones off the trailer, he wouldn't have broken his foot!
