it's like a miracle - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Raven · 03-29-2006, 06:19 AM

for many years now....i can't even remember how long it's actually been....

everytime i "tried " to throw something...like a tennis ball for my dog
or a rock for example....i just couldnt do it...

something was screwed up in my shoulder/neck/back... whatever?
preventing the natural rythm that i grew up with as a kid.

i had to use a tennis racket to throw a ball far enough for the dingo to fetch it.

but now...very mysteriously the problem has suddenly vanished
and i find myself throwing things like a baseball pitcher again.

i am shakin my head in amazement. I think my prayers were finally
answered or someone like (JPI) has flooded the ballot box
because i'm cured ,healed ,all better ->in that department...95%

my range of motion has been restored....i don't get it.

even excellent professional physical therapists didn't get anywhere....

i have been doing everything imaginable for 10 years or more
trying to correct this problem....kung fu...acupuncture, strenuous excercise
hauling and splitting wood... doing nothing for 6 months
you name it -i tried it... and there was never a change....

but now ,its strangely just gone... so for those of you who have
lost faith because a persistant problem has got you down in the dumps
don't give up.....because miracles do indeed happen.
i'm living proof... and i'm so happy i could sing

ok, i won't sing lol... heh heh heh...

will it improve my ability to fish more like in the old days!!
you betcha

good for you.. if you can throw, you can cast

Raven · 03-30-2006, 06:17 AM

thats right NEBE ...i have been able to cast....
but i didnt have my full power...

so now i'll be able to cast farther

and keep it in the strike zone longer.

i'm psyched.

and thanks everyone...

Raven....good news!

Many shoulder pains are related to degenerative disc disease in our spines. Everyone has some measure of it. Its an age thing that can be enhanced with trauma from sports, car accidents, genetics, and other injuries.

Finding a decent doctor who won`t treat you for other causes when its a mystery or not, is not always easy. Its a condition that cannot be fixed so some won`t even go there. Hence they make more money off you for not diagnosing it fully and correctly,

Surgery at this time is not a secure fix and often worsens conditions.

Don`t ask me how I know.....

Raven · 03-30-2006, 08:41 AM

i cant take any of that stuff....unless in my sleep ...it makes me too nautiuos and upsets my stomach...

about all i take is skelaxin a muscle relaxer (i have a new specialist) so that might of helped too... and of course motrin and naproxin...but i stop taking meds completely
for brief periods to give my liver a break.

im my case the MRI shows a pinched nerve bundle ->because of Osteo- Arthritus.

not to illicite sympathy...but the only thing i can figure is i worked thru it from splitting wood for excercise mainly and or because we had to bury an old beloved dog we had recently lost after 13 years.
chopping thru the frozen earth to get the required depth was no easy task which i had to do while on my knees with a grub-hoe....
....it took me hours....it was almost like concrete.

i have just roto tilled my 30 X 50 garden plot so maybe the tiller shook me loose ....

all i know is i have more flexibility now.

God finally got to your case and decided it was time is all. Amazing how that works but it does. Enjoy each day and remember!

Saltheart · 03-30-2006, 07:23 PM

Too bad. Sudden cure of long standing arthritis is a sign of Fung Wow disease. You'll be throwing great for the rest of your life. Maybe 2 or 3 more weeks!!

Seriously , always glad to hear when people feels better. Almost always the news is about people feeling worse with age.

Karl F · 03-30-2006, 07:37 PM

Hey Raven, that is Great News.

Good news, Raven. Now I think it's time for some 16 oz. curls to help increase the strength!

Miracles?... happen everyday, people give them medical names to so they can understand. I read an old book on cancer patiences....a small percentage that recover 100% through faith. When your faith is strong the mind naturaly releases chemicals fighting desease ect. Doctors are dumb founded. Yes I 100% beleive prayer does work for those who BELIEVE! That's great man keep doing what you where.
