Man, only 20 and you have arthritis? Still skateboard a lot? You may need knee repalcements but that would definately end your skating days though. Quote Link to comment

zerow Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 You know my M.O.: Two herniated discs, permanent nerve damage down the right leg. Affect me working on cars? Hell Yes! I used to do a lot of things, now I have to pace myself. No working over the hood of a car, more like leaned over and elbow on the valve cover as I sprawl out over the engine bay for a tune up. Looks like I make it easy, but I hate to pay someone to work on my car(s). Quote Link to comment

slodat Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'm medically retired from the Navy with a yet (it has been over 7 years since I retired) to be diagnosed digestive disease. Let's just say I run to the bathroom a lot. Most days I have debilitating pain in my stomach. I refuse to take pain meds and I'm fortunate to have a high tolerance for pain. Quote Link to comment
datsun dreamer Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 2 Degenerative discs:(! Had a Motorcycle accident way back in 1990 and then worked 11 yrs pyhsical labor as a Warehouse maintanance Mechanic and now almost 8 yrs. Truck Driver:rolleyes:! That and Many yrs of Weight lifting has taken its toll on this old Frame:lol:! Now I see a chiropractor at least 2x a month! Slodat, I hear you on the Digestive Issues! I was diagnosed with IBS about 3 yrs. ago! Sucks,but for me kinda has been a blessing in disguise 'cause it made me more aware of what i put into my body! I dont take anything for it Either...I just learned to deal with it regulary! Stay strong my Ratsun Brothers!!!! Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Lots of weird digestive issues that are hard to diagnose. I know a guy in his late 50's or early 60's now who was only recently diagnosed with a condition caused by wheat gluten, which surprising or not is in a looooot of food. Might be something to look into, slodat. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I had a hernia for a year or so that was repair but the area still seems to hurt from time to time, esp when I have to put power into something. Torn cartilage in my right knee as well yet to be repaired, seems to hurt a lot when pressures change and rain is coming or when I'm kneeling on a rad support to reach something lol. I can definitely relate to the digestive issues, been trying to track down the root of some problems I myself have been having for a while now. Wheat gluten, processed sugar, nitrates, dairy, red meat, liquor, beer, stress, anxiety, sleep schedule, flora imbalance etc can all cause issues. IBS seems more a term docs (even "specialists")like to hand out when they cant lock down a reason. I wouldn't settle for it. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Oh, I forgot I also have the regular self-inflicted medical issues :D go mountain biking Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 My first official diagnosis by the Navy was Extremely Severe IBS. After 5 years of additional tests I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease (gluten intolerant enteropathy). Good guess Matt. It took a total of 15 years to diagnose. The only problem is no I am asymptomatic, so back to the drawing board. My favorite quote from my Gastroenterologist - "you have been cured of an incurable disease. now what the fuck do you want me to do?" Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 My wife just developed a gluten and dairy problem. Took over a year of food experimenting and keeping a diary. Not as severe as most but she avoids gluten which isn't easy. That shit is in everything, not kiddin'. For dairy she takes an enzyme like lactaid. Stuff happens and food you used to eat suddenly turns on you. Damn, I've said it before... the most valuable thing you will ever have, is your health. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Damn, I've said it before... the most valuable thing you will ever have, is your health. got that right, i almost regret taking all the body drops to concrete (from 0-9ft up) iv had over the last 10 years, its beat the shit out of my body.

spoolinitup33 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I broke a vertebrae right in the middle of my back in June of '07 riding a dirtbike and it hurts me all the time. If I stand up too long, or sit too long, it hurts. I just have to look past it sometimes when I'm working even though it starts killing me about half way through the day. And it hurts like hell every morning when I wake up. I had already had back problems before that happend but now it's even worse. I used to ride some when I was younger and I broke my ankle and I swore I'd never get one again, and like an idiot I did and now this happend. I'm too young to have back problems like this!!!
