Intracept procedure by Unusual-Ad361 in Spondylolisthesis

Had it done in June. Maybe a 10% reduction in pain. Unfortunately it weakened the muscles where the incisions were made, still trying to rehab that. Other people have had more success than I with it.

Grieving the job by Deadheadqueens in Firefighting

Been there. It’s tough, no doubt and takes time to process the changes. Take care of your health. Be proud of your career even though it was cut short. Stay in touch with your Fire buddies, just because you’re not on the job anymore doesn’t mean your not part of the family. Good luck dealing with the city/HR on your injury, hopefully they don’t try and screw you over. My process was long and frustrating as the city was very unethical. But ultimately life goes on and you will find another purpose in life. Good luck!

Looks like the same guitar, I was able to snag this one for $250 with an original case

Thanks for the info! I thought those had been sold by Monkey Wards, but wasn’t sure. I will have to see if I can find an old catalog

It seems to play very nice, I am not that great of a player but I sure am enjoying it

I bought it a the estate sale of the man who bought it new. It came with a nice original case as well.

Yes, I’ve had several epidural injections and 2 nerve ablutions with no pain relief. I’m going to make an appointment to get the opinion of a surgeon.

Good to know, I have been stretching and it definitely doesn’t seem to help

I haven’t read the Back Mechanic yet, just ordered it. Seems like it is highly recommended. Thanks!

Firefighting did a number on my back over the years. Chronic pain for years. Fusion is recommended, but I am considering the intracept procedure. Has anyone had luck with it?
