Please take this as I'm saying it, don't flatter yourself.
Nothing anyone with the "party line" mindset has to say can help me. All they could/would do is give me painkillers, corticosteroids, trigger point injections and a fast track to a Scooter.
If I'd listened to conventional medicine 25+ years ago I would have spent the past two decades on painkillers and may have had multiple level spinal surgeries by now. I would also undoubtedly be virtually immobile, and that long before my tendons began their downhill slide.
Admittedly, I'm currently at an impasse. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve, though. I haven't given up, I'm just flummoxed.
