      dealing with some of the worse pain i've experienced in about 6 years since my accident. my back gave out on me Sunday morning. Can barely move, and the pain stops me from doing much of anything, the numbness in my feet make it hard to stand up sometimes.. so Sitting at my desk about an hour before I'm supposed to be on desk for work because I can't keep making trips up and down the stairs. I was lucky enough to get down here today.

      IT related; I'm trying to get a PlayStation game drive to be readable- currently it's in my device manager as unknown and I can't find the driver to get it to be seen. been fighting with it for a friend over the weekend as much as I can

      Oof. Hope your back gets better! Might be time for a(nother?) trip to the bone crackers.

      funny enough, never been to one, my doctor said it could make some of the symptoms worse.

      I go to a Chiro semi-regularly or when something is hurting that shouldn't be, lol.

      I spent months with an issue with my shoulder and it wouldn't get better. Went to a chiro 3 times over the span of 2 weeks and it was fixed. I didn't actually go to a doc.

      Since you've never been, a good chiro will do an xray of your back and you can tell them about your injury and what the doc said, and they'll either agree with your doctor and toss you out, or they'll go, "I can fix this, lay down." lol.

        Yeah, the doctor saying that a chiropractor might do damage is like a chiropractor saying that a doctor "might hurt you by giving you the wrong medication." Sure, but we have to assume we are going to a competent professional and not a quack. Although in the real world, the chances of a doctor giving you a random medication that they know nothing about is crazy high.

            As for @William issue - I would definitely consider making an appointment with a chiropractor. I too hurt my back 20 years ago... and a few weeks at chiro made all the difference in the world. Since then I've gone back a few times here an there as pain came up.

            At a minimum, considering how long you've dealt with this - it sounds like it's time to expand your treatment options.

            As Scott said - most 'doctors' dismiss Chiropractic care. there's two general reasons for this - they are trained to dismiss it during their education as - non medical, and two as Scott said - it takes money out of their pocket.

            That second reason is the main reason why I would consider a national healthcare situation as a good one - take the incentive away from doctors making more money because they see more patients. Their desire to make money is in direct conflict with your desire to feel better.

                tagged the wrong person there Dash. I'm looking at chiropractors today for consultations, hoping I'll find one that can help

                    Heal up, those tickets won’t close themselves,…

                    No more new tickets for me,.. two days down three to go, lots of off boarding meetings and knowledge transferring.

                      lol, the reality is that most movement involves moving the shoulder, even if it's just the tiniest amount.. which of course aggravates the rotator...

                          I'm lucky i have minimal pain, even after PT.

                          I've been on minimal narcotics.... and currently planning to quite narcotics sometime tomorrow.

                          the most annoying thing is everyone telling me to just chill and basically do nothing-ug

                              So... Dell calls me the other day about one of our servers potentially having defective RAM. I go to the data center today to pick up the parts.... 1 big box with 24 smaller boxes inside... Each small box contained only 1 stick of RAM!!!! Leaving 3 empty slots per box!!! They only gave me 9 return labels, which makes no sense. I only need 6 boxes to return everything.

                                  Cursing the existence of SIP-ALG.

                                  The only way to disable it on a FortiGate is the command line. I'm fine with that, but most people won't even be aware it exists and is turned on!

                                    Interesting choice to exclude that from their interface.
                                    Even an alert to confirm that you want it left on would be better than completely excluding it.

                                        Yeah, they aren't the worst products but.... I'd be pretty hesitant to buy one. That's a ridiculous situation.

                                            Wouldn't surprise me. They're pricing structure reminds me of Cisco, you have to license the most basic stuff.... 2fa, that's an additional license!
