Thanks everyone. I would reply individually and read all your journals' but I can't as I am in extreme pain. I have now been diagnosed with a condition called Torticollis:

Torticollis - Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, Diagnosis - Condition Factsheets - C-Health

I haven't been able to eat much as the pain from swallowing is too severe. I went to my family doc for pain meds which don't seem to be helping much. I also had to go for 2 Chiro treatments today. The first one this AM was pure hell in which I have never experienced such extreme pain before after she cracked my neck. I screamed so loud I am sure anyone else in the building would have wondered if a murder was happening. A river of tears were running down my cheeks and I was shaking like a leaf. Man,I literally thought that was the end for a minute. Holy shit.

This afternoon she had to crack me again. Again, a 10/10 on the pain meter but at least i didn't scream. I have to keep icing it now 10 minutes on, 10 off, etc for an hour and then stop for 1 hour and repeat.

I am also feeling quite weak as I can't eat much. Tonight I managed to get down 3 pork back ribs, half a glass of milk, and a couple of spoons of rice.

Right now, Monday evening, I am feeling very ill with a Jay size headache.

She said this should clear up as I have a mild case. If this is mild, I hate to see what a severe case would be like. Hopefully this won't re-occur, but there is a chance it may.

The good news today is that I managed to find a Back Rehab center here in Calgary that specializes in back decompression. They have a special machine that is available to those who qualify and I am sure I will. Watch the vid with the dude from the Doctors show. Compression is my main issue in my lower back. This will help me decompress "like a boss"

DRX9000 DRX Alberta Back & Neck Rehab Calgary, AB Provides and delivers the most advanced form of spinal correction available

[Rynpel]

I've never been there myself, although I do think spinal decompression is a must whether its an inversion board or other wise. My inversion boards saved my geezers for training partners lives for pain wise.

Man Super Jim! Just can't catch a break! I really hope you fell better soon, and at least to where your not in that much pain bud! I'll keep prayin for you too! Hope the back doc fixes you up too. Rest up big guy!
