A question about back injury and kayaking

[2-Stix]

Hi Mike,
I have had years of lower back pain (construction and sport abuse), dislocated shoulder (dirtbike over the bars on a down hill), broken wrist (stuffed a tree dirt biking) and a hip issue(wresting injury in high school in the early 90's). I was unable to sleep threw the night from the shoulder, constant pain in most of the areas listed above at different times. I have been going to a very naturalpathoic/homopathic chiropractor and nutritionist for about 8 years. I can tell you that the shoulder took about 4-6 months of hard core care, the back is solid 95% of the time, the wrist has just a bit of ache here and there with abuse rock climbing and construction work, and the hip that bugged me for 18 years is now not bothering me as of 2 months ago. Its a longer path, but a better long term result.

Greg has sciatica going down both legs...it only hurts a lot all the time...he doesn't let it slow him down though. He just lives with the pain....


To tell you the truth...I think the fucker likes it...


I guess the pain of not going fishing is a pain he is just not willing to bare...

Some people deal with pain better than others, Greg must be one of them. I've had sciatic nerve pain a few times, it would be damn hard to have to learn to live with that.
