Hey, I don't complain too much...

[LeftyFingerPop]

but I have some bone spurs in my spine that are pinching a nerve in my left arm, and I equate it to my nuts being in a vice.

I am on non-narcotic pain relievers, but they don't work.

The only solution is surgery, but I have to quit smoking for 6 months before they consider it. I don't want it anyway.

I cannot drink this pain away, and I cannot drug it away. It is a deep, fucked up, burning, panic type of pain.

That is why I post horse shit in the lounge, and I am sorry.

I have a high tolerance, but this is fucking killing me.

It never goes away...never.

Anyway, that is why I post like a fiend.

1. Quit smoking and get the surgery already.

You shouldn't have to be in so much pain. It's obviously messing with your life. I have neurological pain that surgery wouldn't help--otherwise I'd be in the operating room in a flash.

Give yourself a break!
