what if you felt no pain, no discomfort, no sensation whatsoever from the body...not even that you are breathing...then what ?

Reply to pike

I see my mistake. I didn't mean in day to day activities as when in the world of things you have to act as a thing(body). I meant when you are in that dark and silent place where your body is left to itself and you are free to roam the heavens. Very much akind to death and that is the reason very few dare venture there.

Jeez Pike...we live in the most legalized opiated country in the world.
See your doc and get a hundred perc's.

I shattered my left collar bone in October 2006. The bone fractured in three places. The bone is held together with a seven inch titanium plate and seven 3/8 screws. One of the fractures is still open and healing very slowly.

My family doctor gave me an open prescription repeat for 100mg of Codeine Contin. If I complain a little my doctor will give me a perscription for hillbilly heroin (Oxy Contin).

Although it doesn't matter what I take to releive the pain, the pain never goes away. My left shoulder, the left side of my neck and my upper part of my left arm are always stiff and hurting. I can't raise my arm above my head and I can't use it to lift anything heavier than a couple of Kg. (5 pounds)

I see a shoulder orthopaedic specialist in Toronto in a couple weeks to see if I need more surgery. My present orthopaedic surgeon doesn't specialize in shoulder injuries and said I need to see a surgeon that only works on the neck and shoulders.

Just get that doc to sign off a medi weed grow exemption and invite me over.. A couple of pounds of Maple and I'm sure the world would be a much more comfortable place for you. If nothing else it makes Pike seem a little less strange ;)

Na, i'm fine zp. I'm just pulled towards the unknown, that's all. Most people act as if it doesn't exist. I can't do that.

That is a nasty injury you have and it makes me feel i should'nt complain about my little tendonitis or back pain. My injuries are self inflicted and i could heal if i wished too. For you it's different. At least you can still enjoy many activities.

You should take all pain seriously.
It is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. Pain (physical pain) is your body telling you to stop doing what is hurting you.

Tendonitis can be very serious and so can back pain. Strained muscles, tendons and ligaments need time to heal or the injury may become chronic.

I would rather live with physical pain for a few weeks than for a lifetime. Take it easy and let your body heal.

The pain I'm experiencing is most likely muscle atrophy. I need physical therapy but the therapy can't start until the fracture heals. If I begin strength training too soon I risk damaging the fracture that is healing slowly. It's a catch 22. To stop the pain I need physical therapy. If I start therapy now I risk breaking my collar bone again causing greater pain. So for now I get to live with pain.

Try sticking your head in a gas oven. The pain will quickly go away.

For the tendonitis in the right harm i have to stop using it. Imagine not using your right arm! So yeah, i'll just go easy and see.

Ed Rosenthal wrote a good book called Closet Cultivator that might make you question just how much space you really need. 1m^2 is more than enough unless your name is Tom.

There are guides on growing opium out there but I'm not sure I'd want to risk it.

Joint pain and tendonitis almost always tends to be a problem with one's own posture and holding your body out of line.

Line your body up, stretch, and most, if not all, of your pain will go away.

How old are you, Pikelet?

I thought you to be relatively young and pain free.

I am very old. I remember our first color tv my dad won at the tavern playing poker. A Zenith. We were'nt the first on the street to get one though, the divers across the street were the first.

I am not a pusssie. Well...maybe just a little but my four legged pussies like it that way.

Pain is interesting. The physical isn't so bad in a general way, it's the emotional mind made pain that's debilitating.

Reply to pike

Emotional pain? Last time I had that was when I was in school. [/this is where the aversion to blondes came from]

As for the physical... that's something that one just learns to block out.

Emotional pain as that which comes from fear. any kind of fear. If you've ever been in a close relationship it is easy to understand as the fear of loosing the beloved, or inadvertently harming him/her. If you have children there is the fear for their wellbeing when they do not come home after shool and have not given notice to their where abouts. That becomes emotional pain.

Reply to pike

So you're a bit of an old bugger who feels the pains and aches of life -- no big deal in that. Time to turn that philosophical looking frown upside down, Pikelet.
