    Using any tool that vibrate much like a string trimmer will irritate where my spine is pinched and I’ll regret it for months. It makes me feel useless. Fusing 4 discs in my upper back or neck would almost guaranteed make me feel more useless.

    I definitely can’t pretend I’m young anymore. It isn’t just pain, and when it is pain it’s not the worst pain. It makes me unable to feel my arm. I had to get an epidural of steroids to get the inflammation down to get feeling back, and I seem to be at least mildly allergic to that .
