I have a book called "Pain Free, a revolutionary method for stopping chronic pain", by Pete Egosque. Yes the title pushes the sensationalism... but, his exercises focus on skeletal alignment. The book exercises helped a little bit. Then I found a local PT that used this method, gave me a personalized "menu" of exercises, and that has me feeling better and confidently doing more than I had, the previous ten years. Not affiliated with him at all. It just worked.
300 injections ? Ummmm… that’s 75 a year, or one every 5 days.
As someone who has had 16 epidurals in the last 4 years, along with probably another 30 trigger point injections, I think you exaggerated your 300 a bit ? They limit the amount of injections they will give me, unless you’re doing them yourself at home with chemicals from the dark web ?
I read your posts and take with a grain of salt. Sometimes they are good entertainment, but some are a bit cringe
I”m 57, mostly Mx rider/racer but have done Gncc”s and local Xcountry races as well, I enjoy the cardio/ training aspects of long races. I still try to ride 2-3 times a week if I”m not nursing an injury, although I have slowed down a bit the last few years due to some injuries. I have an hr long stretch/yoga/ core routine I do, almost every day. I bicycle a good amount in between riding Mx bike. Often my bicycle rides are recovery rides to get the lactic acid out of my muscles. My diet could be better but that has always been a work in progress for me …..I used to pound lap after lap but in the last 10 years I have learned to do more drills, figure eights, rut/ turn tracks …. I like to play a game on my off road loop, its a 15-20 minute lap loop, I try to stand, squeeze tank, balls of feet on pegs and hip’s opened, head over front # plate…….
I just finished up a round of 3 injections of Gelsyns in my knee😂 … Professional125 must have hit the “0” button too many times…😜

I’ve been going to PT for many years with the same results. Basically temporary pain relief, that eventually comes back within a short period of time.
This year I went to a new guy that specializes in PRI (Postural Restoration Institute)

I’ve had several neck and back injuries over my lifetime and I have severe nerve pain from my C5/6 & C6/7 and also my S1.
Getting my skeletal alignment in check has done way more in 3 months of therapy than anything else I’ve tried over the last couple decades.
Have you tried euflexxa ? My mom gets these every 6 months and she swears by them.

Slay'n it! Great job.
Yes. The IT band can be problematic for sure. I've been using peptide injections with very very good results. BPC157 and TB500
I'm usually packing up after a crash unless it's a low speed tip over. I'm 67 and don't rust my reflexes like I used to.
Looks like same stuff different manufacturer…I have had them before, seem to work, as long as I don’t twist it up too bad…. I”m bone on bone, with Acl hanging by a thread…TKR in my future for sure but I”m waiting until I can no longer take the pain or cannot ride. It’s amazing what cycling/ stationary bike, stretching and moderate weight lifting can do to keep the knee joint functional… I think adrenaline is underrated also, for the most part, my knee does not hurt when I ride…but whenever I find my feet off the pegs, I quickly put them back on!
Kinda off topic Sandusky but I saw a 12 day old baby last night at our Christmas program and when I looked at his little sleeping face I realized for the first time in my life why you said “buy parts now because you won’t when he’s born”. What a beautiful little guy. Anyways, he inspired me to do some shopping.
I bet I get a little more cautious when the day comes too because I’m rowdy out there still.
Up to 4 apts a week the neck they go in twice in each disk. Back same thing in 8 disk in my back. Inside shoulder blade a line of injections. Then the front. Then the knee huge needle I watched that’s the only 1 that didn’t hurt. That did nothing for the it band pain . Elbow injections . I always got the junk trucks except for pre 08. Some 1099 trucks I would get ko,d with a white flash & the wind knocked out of me 8 times real quick.remember 7 days a week 20-43 hrs straight no day off for months with most of the 1099,s. I should get some wrist injections it still throbs from aug 7 23. I broke 2 bones & irritated the ligaments. Like I said getting the body 1/2 rt is the hard part. The riding is easy throw 2 sprint laps down then just hit your marks on the pipe. Maybe a little spirint here & there. 50+ the front guys r Very 90,s aggressive. And Quite a bit faster than 40b. Good idea to stretch to be limber for when you hit the ground .
Bro, no wonder you can't make any money trucking. You spend too much time in the Dr.'s office.
It took me 2 months to schedule 1 injection for a herniated disc and Profesh looks like a porcupine coming out of the Pilot on I-80. What kind of Mexican therapeutics are we talking about here?
Stoked to hear that you found something that worked well for you. I just skimmed through the different sections of your link. Wow, lot's of info. I would think the exercises are similar to the Egosque Method, as the desired outcome is similar. Now comes the hard part, consistency!
In Feb 18 2021 the rates crashed , not 400k lds with no trucks . To 400k trucks in a 200 mi radius with 78 loads. I ran all short 300-400 mi in the northeast to make payments & money. Fuel was going up & being broke down nearly every week was exhausting. Trk 4 or 5 the payments where much higher . I said I,m out I,m switching to co or I,m gone. The Serbians loved me we got along great agreed. I drove that trk at .80 then I started to make money . I left 4-20 injuries where bad where I couldn’t stand etc. I did save 30k all of that went to dr bills etc plus a 12k loan, maxed out cc that where paid off. Since 21 it’s been shit 23 was a f ing joke. I open 2 letters from down town Chicago, iL. Labor dept . A 4 page letter basically says lack of evidence. I had months of work & documents stating 38 or 43 k on the Serbian co . On wages not paid or illegal deductions , like 7 weeks after I left my cc is paying for tolls for there trucks. My cc# was on there computer. Like I said b4 Chicago is a Slave city . 23k on another co both labor claims denied. Friday I opened the letters , my good mood I keep myself in instantly turned into attack mode . Time off is miserable & the weather sucks bad. 1 judge is racist he fumbles my last name 1/2 a dozen times. I say close enough it’s Native American. Huge mistake he kept easing his voice and stopping me from talking . I,m like fu man this is a setup anyway. That co hired a attorney for the 2nd time to fight me. I pull there worthless asses into Tribal court. Odd stuff came out about there shop a few huge Russians threatening me. I had to pin 1 against a wall with a hunting knife . But that’s legal too in Chicago if you say you took money out of my check . I want it back on now . I was there a few months after all that so you could only imagine how that was.
TRT boys, get that recovery going.
Wow 😳
Pit Row
70% of America is obese and you are starving to death. Time to quit working.
Yeah it’s a f ing joke. I got a attorney in 21 she said keep going to pt etc I got cha bro. Then in late aug she drops me not wanting to be a part of the trucking industry corruption. I called her & there is no reason. I told her in the beginning this is a tough industry to fight r you sure you,ll stand by me ? Pt was a joke a old hag & the rest of the staff insulting me. How do you get hurt driving dumb talk. Like everyone there clueless. That’s a part of the job inside a trailer dragging ovr 1 million lbs out is another. Why r you in such great shape , a lot of dumb questions, a occ physical test that they never gave me the results. April to Labor Day my body did some healing. Only positive is I was flustrated not getting injections to get racing . That I went riding in August figured I,m injured already. What else could happen & I don’t care anyway. I rode with No fear didn’t care if I got hurt real bad. Totally free feeling riding wo super smooth & aggressive where the slippery track allowed. Rode at what I,m capable of like max potential. And that felt Great.
