We had four Cubs show up for the antique tractor pull Saturday. Starting several years ago there is always some knuckle head gotta jump on the boat. Most Cubs will drag a 1200-1400 LB boat, with two 750 LB concrete blocks. A 300 LB man will then cause a spinout.

Re: back pain thread

There is hope yet. I'm glad to hear it went well. Now take it as easy per the doctors recommendations and don't slip up and damage the area any more before it heals over completely

Re: back pain thread

Awesome! Happy it's worked out for you, best wishes for a complete recovery!

When I was a kid, I had dug around a big rock & chained it up. I tried to pull it out of the hole with a Farmall Cub tractor. The tractor couldn't do it. Tim watched a bit, then picked the boulder out by hand. Rumor has it he's a virtual cripple these days.

Very good advice. That's why I sit at a desk behind a computer for 7-10 hrs a day.

Re: back pain thread

Reading this thread while sitting against an ice pack lol. hope everything goes well with your surgery.
Just had an extended family member decide he was done with the pain. Bit of a stoner hadnt done much with his life was diagnosed with Lung cancer throughout is body, then he took a tumble and fractured a vertebrae. Stopped cancer treatments and went on hospice. They give him A month, Thats the difference between having nothing and no one to live for and the fighters in this thread.

Re: back pain thread

Thanks gang

Best wishes on your surgery.
I pray for your surgeon to do the very best Friday.

They have meds for narcotic induced constipation, unfortunately I can't remember what it's called. You're right about taking care of your back, I thought I took precautions to protect my back when lifting, I found out that it wasn't enough, TAKE CARE OF YOUR BACK! Being careful isn't enough, get help if it's heavy, cumbersome or both.

Re: back pain thread

Thank God for pain pills 💊
Glad here you are doing better.
