Dog walking and neck pain...

Ok jeez.. my neck got pulled out by the dogs going in diff directions and the lab is a ton to reign back and even my little Lola can be pain in the neck.

Here I've been protecting my lumbar spine so much and a jerking pulling motion just pulled my neck out in a flash... crap!!!!!!!!

oh well, doggie park or play today and try to take something to relieve this pain as the Methadone doesn't touch it. Probably need a muscle relaxer.

Not near my Primary Treating doc right now... dang.

Am so glad this was a short lived thing.. it was nasty but nipped it in the bud with doubling dose of Fioricet!!! Whoopee!!!

glad your feeling better... it would be interesting to see what your neck looks like?

Hey Mark,
had a MRI of neck done w/i the last so many months that I was living in LB~ I think I gave you the CD copy? I remember something about didn't get a report because I was too busy but think you saw the films... can't remember~

Certainly having quick recoveries which I like as the two dogs are a handful. Leila (the lab) is great to power walk with. Have to park Lola tho as she's such a pain for long walks (my fault re lack of training and previous environs being more people oriented/petting every block by multiple persons).

In fact, the new old thing that has been bothering me a bit is my right knee. Had 2 surgeries previously and get some weakness in it occasionally which makes me need to rest w/leg up. Otherwise it's "bombs away" with walking as the old spine is olding out well (knock on particle board).
