Sorry to hear about this, dear. I am definitely not saying that I believe that this is the root of your aches and pains but ... it could be that your body is also bringing up issues about masculinity (stiff conventional stuff in society and your earlier history) to be worked on in therapy.

Whatever! I hope that your body soon gives you back your flexibility and comfort. Much love, dear.

Thank you, Uncle Ray. Tomorrow is my first “official” session with the new therapist. We had a intro session last week to see if we were a fit. And I think we are. Good vibes and honest conversations. I feel optimistic. And I’m working with chiropractor on the aches and pains too. As well as getting back into the habit of exercising. Lots of change, but good stuff. Cheers, my dears!

Good luck! Not that I think you need it.

I don't want you to be too comfortable with your therapist. You have some uncomfortable stuff to work through.

Optimism on all levels - therapy, aches and pains, exercise, changes.

Thank you, dear… :-*

Oy, Clint, I feel your pain. Literally, babe. I awake each morning with pain in the back of my neck because of my two-pillow habit. It barely subsides throughout the day. Thank you, Michael, for the recommendation! Now, on to more significant issues: inquiring eyes need to see photographic evidence of you jerking off construction workers. Please and thank you, Clint/Brian!

Sorry you’re achey-break-y too, Fred! As for photographic evidence, there will be none. Only in my imagination. Which is pretty vivid. But mercurial. :-p Cheers, my dears!

Jeepers I'm right with you on that score Brian. A while back I had some treatment for my lower back issues. To this day I don't know if he was a chiropractor or physiotherapist but I do know he truly understood my issues. Sadly it was part of a healthy living initiative and he wasn't available to consult/follow up with. No matter how I tried to get him to carry on with his treatment. Sighhhhhh. Regarding pillows, I can't cope with stacked plumpy pillows. My choice is a firm single pillow only. The trials and tribulations of aging from a once lithe, slim gym bunny/runner of YClub vintage to nowwwwww. However I can still laught at it. Cheers DougT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Doh…I wish your guy was still available. I signed up for a monthly “subscription” plan where I can go up to 4 times a month for no additional fee. So I’m planning to go weekly. Fingers crossed. After you and Michael recommended a single pillow option, I’m gonna give it a try. As for laughing, it’s the best way to live in my book. Hugs and health!

As I have got much older I have moved from 2 pillows to one to avoid cricks in my neck, too.

Clint Collide's avatar

I’m going to attempt to follow your lead. I bought 2 pillows to try out for my move to one pillow. Fingers crossed one of them does the trick! 🛏️

Clint, Sorry to hear about your right side. I know from experience (as I am sure you do) that the body compensates in one place to make up for another. But, have you seen a doctor? Tried physical therapy? Bought a new pillow? I can high recommend, I loved it from day one, no more neck aches: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098D9Y24V?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_6&th=1 Wishing you a speedy mending. Fondly, Michael

Oooh…thanks for the pillow recommendation, Michael! Probably a good idea. As for doctor, I saw a new chiropractor last week and plan to see him again later this week. In the meantime, I’m gonna try some herbal remedies. Cheers!

Thanks, Mama Michael! :-*

Herbal remedies.....now let's think about that 😁 Cheers Michael and Brian, DougT

There’s more than just THC in the herbal category, ya know. Though a little vape does do the body good. :-p My glucosamine and such are due to be delivered shortly. Cheers!
