Mike,I know people who have had the same break you have - it does heal but it takes time. And they all tell me it has a useful purpose - after the break heals they say they can tell when a change in the weather is imminent from their "weather center" in their tail!
I wish you the best - and me too. I have been fighting severe back pain from spinal stenosis and I just had a 2nd cortisone shot into my spine last Friday. I feel somewhat better but I still cant sleep all night as the pain builds when I lay down and wakes me up.
Someday we'll have to see if we can get a group buy together at the spinal/pain specialist's offices!
Merry Christmas to you and yours my friend!!

Well I can join that club. Bulging discs and spinal stenosis in my neck.
I went through physical therapy, fascia and epederal shots. F
Didn't help with nerve pain, so they wanted to fuse it and put a titanium plate in.
I can't afford it, but they also said it would change the pain, but not eliminate it. My ex had her back fused and she has a number of limitations like lifting a max of 10 lbs. I have no limitations other than pain related.
It took about 6 months to find a pain clinic that understands tolerances. I know live on a steady diet of pain pills, but it has improved my quality of life.
Jeff,
My best wishes to you and your wife for a pain free future - and a Merry Christmas!
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Thanks Jim
That means a lot. I hope you get better as well. I also have nights where it wakes me up and I just flip on my other side and it helps.I didn't know I would half a lifetime weather predictor in my tail end.I hope it isn't permanent.Things are definitely than the first week or two.
Merry Christmas to you and Marge and the boys.

As Jim said, it will heal but it will take a while. DO NOT aggravate it. If it hurts - don't do that. Buy yourself a nice tubed warmed doughnut pad to sit on. My advice is to play with smaller stereos. No more Mac's for you young man!
Jim, the pain spasm cycle causes the majority of your spinal pain. PM I may have a suggestion - no I'm not selling you anything!
My wife has had back pain/stenosis for many years (3 operations). We would be interested in any suggestions if you wish to PM me!

I can't PM you as your account is set up for no email. But feel free to drop me a note if you like - I won't be mad or offended!
Thanks for thinking of me!
Don't say that.
Mike has my macs!!
I can lift as long as i don't overdo it.
