Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Why did you chase girls that had salt water taffy

for the taffy.

Anyone else deal with back pain? About once a year I’ll just randomly have my back lock up with pretty bad pain and can’t do anything. Goes away on its own after a couple days

Is it worth going to the hospital for it?

Do the reverse hyper workout. SInce I've started implementing it, my back is pretty solid.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Ever tried getting a massage for it?

Once.........

Someone gave my wife and I got couples massage session for an anniversary present. That's the only time I've had a "hands on massage". It was kind of weird. Me and my wife in a dark room, laying across from each other in our underwear, staring in each other's eyes while soft music plays, and 2 strangers in the room, rubbing on us. It was right after lunch and I could smell Taco Bell on their breath. (it was a 3 : 1 ratio, so it should have been like a fantasy day for me, but it was just awkward.)

Anyways......

I've been to 3 difference chiropractors over the past 25+ years and they've all had a "traction machine" (I think that's what they called it). It worked kind of like a massage. It would roll up and down the back and hips. They also had the "electric shocker". They'd put the pads all over my back and sit the machine close enough where I could control the pulse and current of it. I slipped and cranked it all the way up one time and flopped around like a big smallmouth....I almost fell off the table.


I'd look online for a chiropractor with good reviews and make an appointment. The ones I went to, gave me a free consultation and were willing to help me on the billing. The most I paid was $30 per visit.

I used to really enjoy going to Gatlinberg back in the 70's and 80's. But it just isn't the same any more to me because it has lost much of its local roots from all the arts and crafts folks etc who were pushed out to make room for many corporate chain businesses etc. We still go at least once a year but pick our spots carefully.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Spring practice is what....exactly a month away?

 

[crovol]

Definitely will pray and send those positive vibes your way. Really hope you get the best possible news.

prayers sent

Middle back. I get knots in my upper back but this doesn’t seem related to it. It’ll just be one awkward movement, feel a pop and then within minutes I can hardly move

Strength training and stretching is the answer 99.9999999% of the time for these kinds of things.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

A chiropractor might be the thing to do. That's what helps me out. I go every 3-4 years when I start hurting real bad in back. I have arthritis from an old injury. I also do back and hip stretches when it flares up.

You get that old injury in the football game you scored 3 TDs in?

 

[SergeantVol]

Dude...we had color photography in 1984.

Weren’t you in your 60s in 1984?

Talk to your PCP. They can arrange for a CT or MRI.

Sticky and sweet...........Come on

I get back injections every 3 months. I call them my tune up. I feel 20 yrs younger for about 6 weeks after each treatment.

 

[SSVol]

Feels like it sometimes. Actually, I was 20...getting ready to enlist in the Army of the United States of America. Huah!!!!

 

[DD4ME]

This all comes with the territory, but this is brutal.

I've had injections once. Helped for about a week. My back is a mess.

 

[BigOrange15]

I was being sarcastic...sorry I didn't make that more clear.

That thing by itself is nothing...I agree...but it's everything that has happened over the last 15-20 years.

I'm not gonna argue about it though...like I said, I am tired of talking.

Direct Action when??

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Any of you ever make soft pretzels?

Haha, I am walking down the street inn that picture. Junior year at UT.

I'm missing something. Can he not stand around during a break in play?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yeah frustrating, cause we know he's extremely coachable and likely has done everything they've asked of him. Getting told to "sit on the bench" why they figure out if they can still trade him or not and it's being called "personal" as if it was truly his decision.

 

[Vols4us]

When you get around to reading this, doc, thanks for the mention of Xofluza. Was too late for me as mine hit early last week, but my son in law got nailed with it yesterday morning and had a positive test of A. His tele-doc wrote the prescription and a local pharmacy happened to get a supply in today at noon. He said the relief he began to feel was almost immediate, already starting to feel much better. He sends his thanks.

Ya I missed it too.

Listening to The Swain Event this morning, Ben Mckee hinted at a conversation with DK. It seems DK and Redick don't get along, with a lot of favoritism shown toward Bronny.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I would’ve converted to a Hornets and Panthers fan if that trade went through. DK and Grant on the Hornets, and then Shy, Velus and Cade for the Panthers.

Dreams just never come true.
