  1. Looking for someone to Test Fit new Silicone Hoses for this application. If you have one of these and are interested in testing out some Silicone Radiator Hoses for your Bike, Hit me up for details. Thanks
  2. This is bad.....If its to the point he cant urinate properly, this is a Sign of Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) like they thought I had and can do permanent, irreversible damage and he needs to get checked out immediately.....No Joke man.
  3. Cortisone is different that what I am talking about for shots and what this guy had mentioned I believe. Cortisone is like water to me....I had an Epidural Injection under x Ray done into my Spine between the joints and even that didn't touch my pain. I basically eat all the drugs they will give me, even though I know its not good for me, its how I cope and keep from having another surgery which may or may not help me at all. Whats messed up is the first surgery I had last January (2014) happened on an emergency basis when I basically fell in the shower and couldn't get up. Went to ER where I couldn't even walk in on my own accord and the Dr there on call thought I was at potential risk of Cauda Equina Syndrome, which is very dangerous and they operated on my within 12 hours of my hitting the door. I felt like a million bucks after this surgery within hours and was ready to go home and run laps.....This lasted about 3-4 months and I did great and then one day just leaning against my counter BS'ing with friends in my kitchen, I must have moved or leaned just right and it nearly buckled my to my knees but went away. I knew something didn't feel right after that, went to Dr for MRI again and sure enough I had a recurrent disc herniation of the same level (S1/L5) and was in extreme pain again in a matter of days. I haven't been pain free since May of 2014 no matter what I do even after having a surgery in early may and then again in early June. Now I'm in the process f trying to take some weight off because I put on about 35 pounds after the last round of surgeries because of the pain and my immobility. I am determined now to try to lose 40-50 pounds and see if this helps relieve some pain instead of trying to do a fusion which has no guarantee of working at all. I would like to find out more about this Dry Needle Deal though....I always feel like I have knots in muscles that you just cant reach, especially under my shoulder blades.
  4. Figured this was going to be a Pro-Pot Thread.....I am disappoint son.
  5. I had surgery and I still Have Nerve pain down my right leg....I have went from 14cm of disk space to just under 3mm in one year when you look at MRI's of my Spine....I am a rare occurrence according to my surgeon and a very tough case because of my issues. I wish no one on earth to deal with nerve pain....It sucks and is very hard to control pain on, especially if you're like myself and very resistant to most drug effects. I have good days, Bad days and Horrible days. The last year has really changed what I can do in my life but I am slowly learning different ways to do things and how to also deal with it.
  6. I too Had these Shots and got zero relief pre surgery. And they weren't cheap either, I think it was like $1600 out of pocket for me since my deductible wasn't met at the time yet. I agree almost completely with all of this. I am guilty myself of not following my PT outside of my PT when I get them. I have however taken the path to try to lose weight to get some of the stress off of my back. I was up to 280 pounds and I vowed to get to 225. I am currently about 256 after about 2 months of eating better. What sucks is I love food, so that is the biggest struggle I will have with achieving my goal.
  7. I had three back surgeries in 2014 for a herniated and reherniated disc and I still today 8 months later have pain and numbness in my back and mainly right leg. I take pain meds regularly and I recently have started on a diet to try to lose 50 pounds or so before I decide if I will have a multi level fusion done or not. I'm not wanting anymore surgeries , so I'm gonna try whatever I can prior to any further surgeries as they have no gaurantee to help and could make things worse in rare cases. Back surgery of any kind is no joke.
  8. I thought all Traffic Cameras were going away including Speed....Not just Red Light Cameras?
  9. Still doesn't explain where the initial value of bitcoin started and continues to hold value.
  10. I don't really want to do it...But Real Currency is "REAL" so to speak.....Physical, you can touch it, hide it, everyone accepts it....and it was made originally with what I believe was gold as the backer for its value.....What is the Value or the backer to the value of a bitcoin?
  11. And I guess now that Im reading the Wiki.....This had to start from zero available bitcoins at some point....so how was the first created, and what backed its value? To me its like it was created out of thin air with nothing "BACKING" its value.
  12. I guess If I were to receive a payment for something with bitcoin...but I guess by the way the terminology is stated.....Receiving is mining, which is the part that makes no sense to me.
  13. I guess , I don't get it based on that article and what your saying. The article says you can pay with bitcoins, and it has basically checks and balances to make sure it can't be modified so as not to break the chain and can only be received by the person sent to, so if I think of this as "mining" , what are you mining if the bit coin is something you have to posses. I mean I can't go out in my front yard and start digging holes and find US currency....well, unless a precious person buried some there....so where are you getting bitcoins if you have none, what's the rate of return, why was this started and how? I could ask a dozen more questions but I got to start somewhere
  14. Hate to say it but I didn't understand a damn thing in that article and to me made zero sense....someone else got a better answer?
  15. I don't understand how this Bitcoin "MINING" works.....Can someone explain it in laymans terms.....Because I just don't see how you mine currency out of thin air.
  16. What kind of real world Milage does this thing get?
  17. Hwat.......You will get an Ohm reading from a good element. Not sure where you came up with the idea hat its bad if you get a reading. If the reading is infinity or open then the element has a break, and if the reading is near zero or you can touch a ground and one side of the element and get a reading, its shorted. Someone might not want to work on their own electrical stuff....Just saying.
  18. Love it...why selling? Any interest in trades? I'd love to have an H2
  19. Where he never titles it in his name after getting a notorized title from the first seller.....It goes from Seller one to buyer two with only one title change and the middle man doesn't pay taxes or show a sale on the BMV List....You do get a max per year unless you are a dealer. I used to do this all the time.....Err.....In Mexico.
  20. I just took my brothers 2012 Cruze LTZ Auto to Florida and back and that's an awesome little car although it only had the little Turbo gas motor in it.
  21. Fords Suck....That is all.
