Haven't been on here in forever. Thought I'd update what I've found out. I have two disc that are deteriorating along with a pinch nerve in there. Been doing the chiropractor thing to keep me adjusted properly and I've gotten a couple cortisone shots. I made the mistake one day of doing military presses and I wont be doing those anymore or till my back is all situated. Sitting and the normal things annoy it but pushing through. Getting back into the routine of things and trying to give this another shot.

Ya I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Money is tight right now so we shall see.

I went to my primary Doc two weeks ago and he also confirmed GH would help. Too bad he can't write a script for it. Although insurance wouldn't even cover it and it would be a lot more than I can find. I had another cortisone shot early this week and that Doc accidental hit the pinched nerve. I jumped off the table a little bit. I just did 3 sets of flat/incline/decline bench and some tricep push downs just taking it easy. See how it feels.

Well to give those of you an update I finally found out the real deal whats wrong. I was sent to a neurosurgeon and the guy was awesome. He basically sat down and explained everything out instead of saying he cant help me. I was born with a vertabrae that didn't form correctly. One side basically has way too much bone and the other side not enough. Also born with an extra vertabrae. On top of that I have deginerate disc disease and a pinched nerve in that same spot.

He doesn't want me doing free weights and stick to machines as it will help keep the compression off my spine. That and pool work outs and an elliptical. Sucks I'm going to have to sell my weight set up at the house but I have a 24hr gym less than 5 min away. Plus I recently switched jobs that doesnt keep me sitting on my ass for 8hrs straight. No more take out and can eat at home with the family and eat a hell of a lot better.

Going to start back up at the gym and on HGH and work on the diet and go from there. Figure with the support of the board members and finally knowing what is wrong I can get this thing in some what of fix. There is no solution to absulote fix as he said and will have the pain pretty much the rest of my life but taking steps now to minimize it.
