I'm Injured - Gonna Be Scarce

Been away for a bit, I come back to horror health stories. Get well soon Greenie and Cleo.

When I first developed RSI 12 years ago, I went through the whole gamut of alternative medicine. I know this: kineseology is utter bullshit, chiropractors aren't much better, acupuncture is an exercise in cash removal and homeopathy is... well, I'm embarrassed to even admit that I tried it. What did make a difference was regular exercise, stretching and massages.

That said, a pinched nerve or slipped disc is a whole different ballgame and I hope the doctors can find a solution for you Greenie.

I just saw this too, get better Greenie. Pinched nerves are NOT fun.

Having been born with pinched nerves in my neck because of extra ribs, I know that pain, I had to give up a career because of it. (I had a full-paid 4-year scholarship for music, I was a very, very good cello player, but playing made me in pain so bad, it was all I could not to cry during concerts, damn I loved playing).

Grandma Scrotum is right, Chiropractor has helped somewhat, but stretching and exercise helps me more than anything. I still have a lot of problems with numbness if I get my wrist bent too much but at least I can type.

And I've heard of aspartame poisoning doing that. Might want to check out gluten intolerance while you are at it, as that can cause pain issues too.

Hang in there, they find the cause they can get it better. You also might want to look into making sure your keyboard is exactly the right height, as we all spend so much time at them, if it is off even an inch up or down can cause strains too.
