I had six nerve blocks in my neck at once and it did not work. I hope you have good results. We did not cut my nerves because the may grow in clusters on my head.

HW 358 SW 344 CW 318 GOAL 200 surgery 4/11/13

I've had the nerves burned before, but they grow back I guess. I just want an end to this back pain. With losing weight, id like to be going for walks, or doing anything active for that matter. I can't even walk around the block. So you have back problems too?? I have had so many epidurals, and they don't even work anymore. He was gonna do an implant, but says it doesn't pay because with the condition of my back, ill need surgery soon.

I am having a tough time counting how much Water I'm drinking. Or Protein I'm taking in. shakes are the worst for me. Haven't found anything other than the whey Protein Drink from Walmart I started mixing it with water and sf Hawaiian punch to be able to get it down. Idk I hope I'm doing this right. My doc says I'm fine.

I use the MyFitnessPro app and it calcs all of my protein every day. I don't have to enter anything, there is a scanner on it and I just click and it uploads all the nutritional info automatically. It is awesome! It even shows how much exercise you do and the water you take in. Pretty cool!!

Yes i got screwed up back. I'm due for another epidural. Mine gets so dam tight its unbearable to walk at times. Just trying to prevent another surgery. I still be doing another round of physical therapy as soon as I'm released.

The HydraCoach Intelligent water bottle is amazing. You program it and as you drink it counts your ounces and you set it to whatever ounce intake you need for the day. It's a bit pricey but I think it's well worth it!

That does sound like a bug! Get better soon and try to stay hydrated. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you.

Hi Paul....how did you know if your stomach is not emptying fast enough? What symptoms are you having?
