Dont act like you don’t already have one....

Obviously I’d seen them in videos but I never knew what they were called until ShiftieGears enlightened me about Hitachi Wand Torture.

Trigger point therapy is quicker


correct sir.

they stab the shit out of you and then work the area a good bit. I get them in my traps, spine, sides of the neck & all of my lower back.

Wait til you find someone whose good at it, you wont leave that clinic. Ive been of 6 different PT's in my area and all sucked but one

The twitch or trigger goes fing nuts and they bob the needle down/on/off. The first few sessions you will feel like you put 1ml into a million spots but you get use to it quickly.

Looks great but I don’t have anything to inject expect aas.
Hit it with a car buffer a few times a day and check your pec for tightness too.

Sometimes you can over-do it with lacrosse balls and foam rolling and on on on. You can get on it to much and end up aggravating it more.
Thanks man. Going to focus on opposing muscle groups. Starting with chest.
Maybe it's a tumor.......
Somebody already wished cancer on me and I beat it. That guy benched way more than you but since I beat my cancer he can’t even lift his arm to beat his dick.

Tread lightly.

Went to the hippy lesbian yoga yoga woman in my town. Had an hour full body that she does 90% with her feet. Very enjoyable and great general maintenance.

She even stepped on my balls (accident?) a couple times and I did not have to pay extra.

There was some temporary and promising relief when she really focused on my pecs.

I am dreading another shitty night of sleep on the couch but IDGAF so long as my workouts go well. Pulled 505 for 4 today.

Later this week: my first visit to a chiropractor.

I've found that nothing but chiro works when it gets that bad..not even muscle relaxers. Once you get an adjustment or two, other things like heat, meds, massage starts to help again. If you can find a Japanese chiropractor big/strong enough, that first pop is gonna feel really good

I have a Japenese chiro and he does acupuncture.....he's okay.....Nothing to rant n rave about. But he only is 2 inches taller then my wife..?? No quite the big, strong guy you speak of.

He does do well tho, but comparing him to the deep needle/cupping from the PT, its not much. If i had the cash id see both.

Just a quote from "Kindergarten Cop" Jin. I thought you might get the reference.

Feel like a visit to Chicago...?? Its about 32 deg here w a 14 mph wind. Its very nice

I get those too, Meloxicam. I try not to take them....I only touch the norco when im dying like it seems you are. If i get up more then 3 times in a night ill take a 3/4 pill. I take the Meloxicam much more often since it isn't practically poison.

Hopefully my last post on this thread.

Muscle relaxers helped and were absolutely necessary. Nothing else worked. Was taking 1 pill 3x/day but now just taking one before bed.

Have a a couple days left. Get some tingling/pins & needles down my left arm but the pain is all but gone.
