oh...... the man of height will be along before you can say " willyoupleasestopthepasteand postmost ofusknow betterbynow"

Flu me once . shame on you . Flu me twice ..... nope 🙂

very sensible advice .

would you mind telling me what type of procedure you had ? and for what problem ? i know that each persons situation is different..... but helps to know about other "experiences" (IMO) . I know Dr Chanagan and that he is very good.

Could you tell me the name of the Doctor you saw at Sriphat ? an orthopedist ?

another thailand expert . rumak welcomes you to the stupidest of forums , you will fit right in .

l might as well give you a like..... before your post is deleted 5555555 really, gecko must have gotten too many boosters. I remember when he had a sense of humor ( quite a while ago )

So, you're 40's or 50's ? Good looking or 50 kg overweight ? Good personality ? Fun to be with ? Answer those questions honestly and then i can give an educated guess what is available.

Celcius ...... i may have missed it : did you say where you are going ? and, btw ... where are you from ? just curious. I left the US more than 30 years ago . I can't imagine anywhere that is "better" than it was . The goods and bads regarding Thailand have been gone over a hundred times on this forum by the scholarly participants . I'm still doing ok here. but , things have changed , no doubt about it . The ladies don't even bother calling me hansum man anymore !

another sociology post .... ......... you really need to .......ummmm .... something

I always prepare ahead .....

I also wear long pants and a a shirt ( even a clean t shirt ok , i think ) . Been doing that for a long time. I did have my "hippie years" ............... and in my mind still am haha but...... i have adapted a bit with dress AND attitude to the LONP (land of nice people) outside the ghettos, that is

the "simple" answer as to why "thai style preferred" is that for the average Joe looking for ease of living and ease of you know what ........ thailand still ranks number one ( sorry, i have no google stats to show, just my opinion based on many years being here. edit : what does "particular squeeze" mean ?

what's the obsession ? answer : hormones . Thai style preferred

wrong again bill. they moved

I am very familiar with the big C you mention ...... been a long time since i have been in the back , and don't remember any shops there . I will go take a look , but if you have a name or just a phone number for them it could help . note: i speak thai , and usually am the one discussing the jobs . Your system is for the water used in your house ( sinks, shower ) ..... am i correct ? thanks a lot !

Near Doi Saket would be great . I do know of a shop in the Mae Hia area..... very far from here

but...... You and I are different !!

the above posts are a great example of what goes on when "smart" people get together. I try to avoid them

nah...... i was just joking, and with that seeing how you would respond. A laugh would have got you an A plus . But i understand that many here would take offense ( i am happy to see you didn't respond.... " you blank blank " 555 none of the above...(that you listed) . rumak

One can learn a lot about someone on these forums. I just learnt one thing about 007 . Sit down after i ask him a question ........

From my experience, Sept and early Oct have almost always been the rainiest months ( i live in the North) . IF ... IF ..... if the country managed the usage and preservation of the rainfall well there probably would be many fewer "shortages" in the dry season. IF .............

thanks..... i have just read this post ( missed it as did not see a notification) . Question: as i also agree that a lot comes down to trial and error . I have had back pain before... and it did go away, though I am always careful now, due to advancing age and stiffness. Do you suggest stretching ? And , i just got a pull bar which i will hang from ( feet on ground) . It will take a while, i'm sure, as my shoulders and lats really need to strengthen up . When i was a kid i could do 20 chin ups, even one arm chinups. Now..... I probably could do one or two ( and really screw myself up ! )

i do not have any tingling . I occasionally feel a very small degree of numbness in a few toes. usually on the opposite side of the surgery . Before i started taking 25 mg (smallest dose) of diclofenac in the morning , and one after dinner ...... and started this post .... my legs were feeling weak , and once or twice my knees hurt . I have now improved ( it has been about 5 days) ... no more weakness in legs or hips today . I am walking , light stretches (2 very basic ones) , and getting some relief . BUT......... how much is do to the meds ? ( they definitely help) I never was in sharp pain, but the weakness and tiredness at times in the legs is what had me most concerned. Also dull ache in lower back . I plan to keep this up (taking the anti-inflamatories and current protocol ) for at least a few more days before stopping the pills and seeing how much improvement i have made. So basically i am following many suggestions here... also hope to start the stretches for the quadratus lomborum ...maybe see how that feels. My MRI I see was 6 years ago ! quite a while but Dr Chanagan said it was not bad for someone my age. Of course i will do another if this persists. NOTE : i went last week to the surgeon/hospital where i had the surgery and took xrays of that area and he examined me . All showed up extremely well. It was my initial concern..... but really i do not seem to have any worries from that . ( it was a REAL RELIEF , as if there was a problem with the pin moving or something..... it would have meant an operation to remove ! )

Yep... you are not alone . Good to hear from the members here who are dealing with back pain (and nerve related) . My main take-away is the fact that everyone's issue is unique (and, yes, has to be diagnosed properly , I am pretty sure you have done research as well. There of course are ways to deal with bulging discs... some less invasive ones but i am not up to date on that. Hang in there. Stay active and careful ..
