I'm starting my 4th year as a member of Christian Chat today. So far it has been a pain-free experience. I've met a lot of wonderful people on this site including my wife. A few of these members are on my morning prayer lists. I also appreciate all of the prayers that have prayed for me and my wife, including for other members as well. It's been quite an adventure and I'm looking forward to another interesting year.
Will most definitely say a prayer for both you and JesusLives (and Sugar and Tango as well.)
God bless you and hope you feel better soon.

I usually have Monday Tuesday and Wednesday off from work but I'm going in 2 days early as I will not be working on Saturday and Sunday as I will be in Orlando for some family time. Got to get up early so I'm going to get ready for bed now. I won't be online much the next few days and will miss my CC peeps. I'm still exhausted from my latest work cycle and only had one day off to recover. That's the way it goes I guess. No pain, no gain. I'm not sure if that' biblical or not but believe there is an element of truth to that saying. Gonna pop a couple Advil and call it a day.
My left arm started to hurt last week. Driving seems to aggravate something in my hand, probably a pinched nerve, and that sets it off. I don't believe that it is related to my heart as I would most likely be dead instead of writing this medical entry. Pain starts in my hand and travels up my arm. It is not painful when I am busy using my arms but seems to start hurting when I am driving or lying in bed trying to fall asleep.
It is a sickening type of dull throbbing pain, similar to a toothache but it is not constant. I am going to have it checked out. Feels OK right now though. It could also be arthritis setting in.
Getting old sucks, looking forward to getting my new body but hopefully no time in the foreseeable future. Seems like everyone wants to get a new body in heaven but don't want to die to get there. I am in no hurry and feel like I have many years left on this earth to humbly serve the Lord to the best of the ability and opportunities that He graciously provides.
I think I will pop a couple of Advil. It's advanced medicine for pain, or at least that's what I have been led to believe. Actually, OTC pain relievers are not really effective at all but I do know that if I don't take them my headache doesn't go away anytime soon. I also know that it does not really help much regarding my arm.
I think that I will be trending to just simple aspirin for my minor aches and pain, the occasional cold pack and Ben Gay. That stuff is not all that effective either but I feel better for having tried.
Of course, God could just simply take away my aches and pains but those are really a price to be paid as a result of getting higher in numbers. Having pain gives me an edge in being empathic to the pain and suffering of others.
It's not so bad if you think about it.

Sorry to hear about your pain, Tourist. I've had pinched nerves for decades, but it used to be a lot worse than it is now. I recently found these guys on youtube and they helped me with a recent shoulder injury, but I wish I had learned these pinched nerve exercises decades ago. They're a couple of old physical therapists. There is this video and they have other videos too on pinched nerve exercises. Just know that if the exercise causes the pain or gets worse you should stop doing it. Hope it helps you.

Ok, this is my midnight confessions and pain clinic post rolled into one..
This forum used to be somewhat therapeutic for me. For years it was a source of joy, laughter and friendship.... Now it seems to be full of quick judgements and criticisms. I guess it's true that all good things come to an end. (I'm not leaving, because if I did I'd have to pay if I wanted to come back lol)

I read a post today about being stoic and didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. It has to do with how one handles pain. There certainly has been enough of that in my life but I do thank God that I am able to function and to carrying on in my appointed rounds. Plus I pop a lot of Advil. It is advanced medicine for pain. At least that's what I have been led to believe. Really, it's not so bad if you think about it. I try to avoid thinking a lot. Perhaps I'm in denial. No, that can't be it.

Try eating tart cherries, turmeric, maple syrup or honey.. They're all anti-inflammatories..
I take a tart cherry/turmeric supplement once a day. Eat a couple spoonfuls of honey and/ or maple syrup.. You could also get some tart cherry juice, but mix it with water cuz it's awfully sour otherwise.. lol

Actually, I bought some cranberry juice yesterday at the store. I believe that is anti-inflammatory too as well as other health benefits. I used to drink it regularly but then switched to Gatorade. After that, I switched to Perrier for my water source 'cause it's fizzy and very refreshing when it is ice cold.
A couple months ago I started my vitamin regimen but that does not make up for years of abuse of my body. I don't eat properly and I smoke. No wonder I feel like crap all of the time. I do use maple syrup on my pancakes and use honey on chicken. Maybe I got a sweet tooth. Yeah, my teeth are messed up too. That is another matter that I certainly want to address in 2019. Quit smoking too. Drink my OJ and cranberry juice. I prefer the 100% juice and not the cocktail. It's Ocean Spray. It is going to be most refreshing over ice. I would use crushed ice but the ice-maker in the fridge has been broke for months. That's another matter altogether. Of course, it may help if I changed the water filter in the fridge occasionally for starters.
I appreciate your nutritional advice as I seem to be lacking in that regard.
My motto has been why do today what you can put off until tomorrow. Well, a new day has come.

Seriously, I really should do more research to properly address my daily nutritional requirements. You always seem to be on top of these things. Cranberry juice does tastes good though, and is tart like cherries. Now I'm trending towards cheery pie. On the plus side there is a carrot cake in the fridge that I will consume later today. Carrots is good for the eyes. Well, maybe not carrot cake but there is a little orange frosting carrot on top so it is at least pleasing to the eye.
