Little Things You Hate

Yeah, Endone got me to sleep. Nothing more. Next morning was one of the worse mornings of my life. Will see what the CT scan brings up and what they recommend.

Sorry to hear, that’s shit. Old man problems.
Not always. I was only 28 and in reasonably good shape (lots of riding and rock climbing at the time) when I was crippled by this sort of thing without any specific incident or trigger. I think @Ultra Lord is younger than that and even went under the knife!

Was the morning after endone all knives of fire + sweating like a mother fucker + spasms?

I turn 27 in september, I was 25 when I first hurt my back. Got signed off from the physio 3 weeks ago.

Look I was just trying to temper my well wishes with an insult.

But fair point, middle age is the sweet spot.

Were you spying? Had to sleep on the couch. When I woke up, I couldn’t get off it. Eventually rolled off and crawled to the toilet. Should have just soiled myself.

Ok, you can fuck off now please :(
Mine was bad.
I was getting better with physio then sneezed at work and popped it good n proper. Went from mild sciatica to fuck I can’t feel my foot and constant pain along the sciatic nerve

Had a discectomy surgery around a year ago, then I got the time to recover. Physio + excercise physiologist (this taught me how to move, lift weights and get stronger without hurting, do recommend) post op has sorted me nicely, back to riding alot, still get pain but it’s bearable flareups that don’t hang around not the “oh fuck it’s been three days and I still can’t sleep”


You could be in for a long recovery. Not what anyone wanta to hear, but please don’t rush things and make it worse.

You pricks can eat a few with your sore back whinging, I'm part lebbo so me backs always fucked.

What I had to endure today was really bad.

While on my morning ride I had this song stuck in my head. I've seen this movie once as a kid but this bloody song haunts me 35 YEARS LATER!!

Enjoy and may the song haunting of you relieve me of this abomination!







Meanwhile I lay in a hot spa with a really sore back likely caused by either rompy's with the wife or wood chopping, either way some wood was involved.

I often just slept on the floor. The dogs freaked out! I thought the bossier dog was going to eat me and take the role of house leader...

At my lowest point I got into a panic about an overdue power bill. The post office was about 700m away so I crunched a few extra pills and began the limping hobble. I was about half way and in unbelievable pain and confusions. I may have offered a street walking prostitute money to carry me to the post office and she replied "fuck off you freak!". I "relaxed" at the near by cafe then caught a taxi home, which I fell out of onto the side walk and crawled into the house from. That went down well with the neighbours. It is shitty at the time but amusing once it is over.

Can't discount the effectiveness of the old paracetamol and ibuprofen. They've been hitting spots that the morphine and endone couldn't touch since shortly after my little dirt dive.

The mix of targin & paracetamol & ibuprofen is working a treat now. Probably an entirely different kind of pain to a disc, but worth a mention just in case you were ignoring the little guys thinking the big ones should be doing all the work.

Can’t do ibuprofen with the anti-inflamitaries I’m on unfortunately. Panadol 4 hourly helps a little.
Glad you’re doing (relatively) ok mate. Ambos were back at your exact spot total. An old fella toppled over sideways slowly and fucked his leg apparently.

Anti smoking rules are great. Smoke free pubs, clubs, restaurants etc, but now it’s horrid walking down the street with everyone out puffing away on the footpath. Even worse when kids are tagging along.

At least there's good access there, someone was kind enough to cut steps in to get down to it even. Almost like they knew there would be dumbasses like me that couldn't read a trail sign

I stumbled on "osteo relief" paracetamol tablets last week. They're a slightly higher dose with a release inhibitor so they last bit lot longer. I've found they work a treat, much like the targin was a massive improvement over endone because it lasts so long. Probably make sweet fa difference, but taking less pills to get the same job done was a small win for me.

LTIH: Shims, and Giant's love of them - particularly combined with their leftover stock of 1.25" stems.

Seriously guys.. Selling me a 2019 bike with normal 1.5-1.125" tapered fork, a 1.25" stem and top cap, and a 1.125-1.25" shim is just lame. So I can't properly move spacers from below to above it, nor use a K-Edge Garmin mount that acts like a spacer.

And they have form for this: The old NRS somehow had a 30.8mm seat tube so they shipped with a 27.2mm and a shim. I eventually got tired of the creaking, figured 0.1mm was about equivalent to a layer of dirty grease, and put a 30.9mm post in.

has some good things to say
Thought I might do the local coffee ride tomorrow morning with the long neglected dually. Tyres need a bit of air but still well up. Back tyre no worries. Front tyre...goes up to pressure, disconnect pump, spin tyre, watch the thin arc of degraded sealant spray all over the garage as cathead hole opens up...so it's the gravel bike again.

Lol, Lenny P did something similar, dragged his Specialized out the night before Roll The Dice, found a two foot white puddle in the morning :D
