Hang in there mike most ppl get that in our society today some quicker that others. As far as your other problem don't sweat it, some ppl are like that especially on a forums where they are not face to face. Good luck with your back.

[John Andrew]

Mike I have twice had this problem fixed by an injection through the coxyx of cortisone. It brings immediate relief. Now I do not know if they will do it in the USA. In Australia it is only done by some old school doctors. Here in Thailand every hospital does it!

Try and ask I know after being taken in on a stretcher and having morphine injections I was training after 2 days. Best of luck mate, John.

[Muscleduke]

I got the same problem man, give it a couple of weeks it will be fine! I've had it since the age of 16 and I'm 20 now still have the problem, but the pain edges out over time!! Best of luck!

[Trevtrev]

Good luck Mike, lets us know how it goes.

[brazuka]

Back on topic. Keep us updated with the injury mike, best of luck to you!

[OnTheSauce]

How's the back, mike?

[crazy mike]

Update guys, I was in the hospital from Wed night until this afternoon Friday 9-20-13. I had to get back for an MRI instead of the original CT scan. I have 4 perturbing disks mildly, One at the bottom that is compressing on the nerves. So I'm in a lot of pain but they got that under control. Wow my past caught up with that tolerance issue.

So I I'm on Methylprednisolone treatment and some pain meds. Surgery is not needed at this point and I don't think it will come to be. It should heal in time with therapy and medical treatments.

Thanks for caring ! ...crazy mike

[bass]

get well soon Mike, we're rooting for your speeding recovery.

[OnTheSauce]

Hey it could be worse bro, hope you recover quick!

[ppwc1985]

Hope you heal fast bro so you can get back in the gym. Don't even sweat the other most the time if you ignore children they will go away. Good luck

[3day]

Been there Mike. Ice the crap out of it as often as possible. Ice is your friend.

Back on Topic "Crazy Mike's come back log"

Today my back is doing a bit better but the pain is a bit masked so I don't know really what the condition is. My thoughts are that is wasn't as bad as the Doctors had said with their initial evaluation. However the pain was what is was and it is unbearable with outmed and now at a tolerable level.

No surgery and with some therapy I will get back in the gym sooner then later, but can't be rushed. I will not be able to do heavy shrugs due to the weight compressing the disks. Simple Simon thinking goes a long way. As the Beatles said in a song " getting better al the
time". ...crazy mike

[BG]

Have it your way, you have ruined my thread. SO:
1. I'm sorry staff that I said you can read PM's
2. I admit I started it.
Now be a man BG and not a bully and accept this and clean up all this crap off my comeback log and lets get back to topic...Mike

Thanks.

[marcus300]

Sorry to hear about the injury crazy

[crazy mike]

Sorry to hear about the injury crazy

Thanks Marcus and thanks for staying on topic.

As I've stated I'm not sure now it is as bad as they were saying about my back. It's like the Doctors what to make a mountain out of a molehill maybe to get you dependent on them and more and more visits and or exams an test etc... God to be cautious but the diagnosis changed with three docs and the CT scan to the MRI. I was making a big deal but warranted due to the pain level and that typical pain meds and dosages were not working. We all know why, yep my past.

So thanks again for your empathy, I know it is genuine. ...crazy mike

[ppwc1985]

I understand. Good job being strong mike. I've seen a lot of ppl not make it, to include a few of my teammates. It's more a mind thing than anything. Stay strong bro.

[crazy mike]

Thanks man ! I guess if you say you understand then maybe you know somewhat what was going on. BUT I kicked in the ass and feel real good. Bot physically and mentally!! ... mike

[Java Man]

I haven't visited your log in some time but I just got caught up. I'm glad your back didn't require surgery. Back pain is a b!tch I've had my share of back issues so I know how debilitating it can be. I wouldn't be so quick to blame age foreverything. The older we get the easier it is to just say 'oh, probably just because I'm old' but I learned a valuable lesson taking 10y off from training. Once I got back into it all of my health issues have gone away. No more back issues (turns out it had gotten weak from disuse, not age), my bp is down enough that I can get off the maintenance drugs, my cholesterol is much better, and I feel like I'm 25 again mentally and physically. I believe people age primarily because they don't get any exercise post adolescence therefore the body degenerates over 30 or 40 years so that by the time they hit 60 or 70 the body is a useless blob. Stay active, train hard » stay young.

Idk what went down with you and BG and not sure I want to lol. looks like you guys made nice, too though so

Good job on flushing the pain meds. I couldn't. Lol. I love narcos but I have no problem when theyre gone either. I know your history and that had to be a hard thing for you to do. Stay clean, train hard, stay young.

[crazy mike]

I got up early this AM cause I'm feeling so good without the crap in me. I see your message Java, Thanks a bunch ...crazy mike

[WattTimeIsIt]

Crazy Mike, sorry to hear man. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery!

[crazy mike]

Crazy Mike, sorry to hear man. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery!

It's not as bad as I though. However a lot of pain. ...crazy mike

[O P]

Looking crazy, crazy Mike.

[crazy mike]

Tuesday October 1st.

I went to my doctor today to address my spine and other problems as well as my Gyno. His physical exam tells us not lumps or masses inside. Some fatty tissue type Gyno and nothing worse. To me it's bad enough. He put me on Cabergoline for the slow reversal and my prolactin level which is hindering my orgasms. He also prescribed Cialis for it's purpose. With that some different medicine for my Diabetes type II.

Sounds great doesn't it ? However with my insurance I cannot afford any of them. Unreal sate of affairs with this Medicare . Humana insurance.

Now in regard to my back he is going to have a surgeon give me injections in my spine. As far as the gym I have to talk to the surgeon but the thought is rest a while some exercise with the injections and work back into the gym as my level of pain allows. Taking caution on what will cause compression on my spine. Ya know no heavy shrugs, bent over rows and the like.

Seated curls , triceps, benching and dumbbell flys for shoulders is what comes to my mind. That's all I can speculate for now. I believe there will be life in the gym again, but my priority's will have to change. I will have to find the balance to be successful at this. The notion that I am able to get back close to my shape years ago is diminishing No mater what shape I'm in the, the bones get old and the degeneration begins , like it or not. No more denying that.

This is my comeback log and thanks for reading. ...crazy mike

[crazy mike]

In hopes to keep this as out of sight ass possible I'll say this on my log and also save the drama as much as possible. Not many view this but I am in hopes that some of you in particular read it.

I don't appreciate anyone attacking me with my past in regard to my drug addiction now in recovery. I worked hard to get clean and sober and one of biggest accomplishments in 40 yrs. Now I am being accused of just continuing my addiction and making steroids my D.O.C.

Fact is I m not addicted to steroids. What you don't know is I have been on a low dose 100mg wk. for the past 4 weeks and plan to not cycle for a few months. It seems that some of you can except that 100 mg wk. as TRT or just acceptable as one monitor and many other people have been doing. No names. So except my dose as not continuing my addiction. If I was I would still be on mega dosages.

I'm not saying this to have any of my words picked apart just for you to somehow prove me wrong only to bash and flame me. I can only blame myself for being honest in my interview and subsequent posts. People do as they do and many thrive on finding the bad in someone. Rather than any good. For that reason I have to take the responsibility as to letting anyone know my past.

I guess I was too proud to have conquered my obsession to drink and drug. Once again as I will tell anyone your pride will take you down. Don't be proud just be grateful. I am now more grateful that my addition is in recovery as I am grateful I have kept my steroid use into a use and not an abuse.

It's a shame that people have to try to win arguments or discord to a point of just being mean and hurtful. Well I just fvcked myself by being proud enough or week enough to let the cat out of the bag. Shame on me I guess. Live and learn I guess.

Now that's the facts and I ask for no sympathy and or even empathy. I am the cause of my problems once again and have to accept the consequences. I don't think this is drama, it is what it is.

I don't need any of you ****ing with my past like my drug use. I'll keep my sobriety forever and as I hopefully will never tell anyone again. I'll keep that part of my pride to myself. It's nothing to brag about. So I have learned. ...Mike

Thanks for the insight mike I commend you in your change of direction with your life!!

Addiction comes in many forms and hits the best of us.

Your words have give me inspiration to tackle my demons which starts with the first step of acknowledging the problem.

I too have suffered with lumbar back pain to the point where my l5 disc prolapsed ( burst )

After an operation and years of pain management which included an epidural for pain relief acupuncture and other traditional therapies I can honestly say the things which actually caused the prolapse.....

Martial arts weight training and the likes put me back on the road to recovery.

I have had 2 further operations in other body parts but for the most I am pain free but have had pins and needles down my right leg for 13 years now 24/7

But the point I'm really trying to make his we do this sport because we love it we don't get paid we train in all weather.......it is who we are and I'm proud to say I train and have done for 28 years now.

People like you mike inspire many and I for one appreciate you sharing a part of your life and respectfully wish you well !!

[OnTheSauce]

Knock it out big dog. Keep grinding

[qscgugcsq]

Wish you a good recovery Mike, Rest will do you good.

Good luck

I'd really like to speak with you off the open forum so you and I can come to understanding about what is really happening here
