I have been in Germany 5 of the last 13 months sorting out my back problems, i'm not going to die, i dont have any diseases, I have very deteroitated muscles in my lower back, i stopped pool in 94 and went to the gym because my back was bad and I thought gatting fit would help and it did, but now I dont know if what I have is fixable, i'm 40 and feel 80.

the good news is that on some days i can play pool, i might not get back to playing like I did years ago but its cool at least i'll be able to play 2-3 times a week, no more than 2 hours but its better than nothing.

i havent hit a ball in 2 weeks because of a side effect of a drug i took for my bones, i will be able to play tomarrow, i tried to today but had too much going on,

since I cant play long I guess tooth will have to bet more from the gate, so he can pay me off sooner, why waste time. ;)
 
Sorry to hear fatman...
My plans changed about 5 times last weeks so I wasnt able to make it to munich.. in Paris instead for Bastielle day and the wifes birthday...

I am glad you are going to be around for a while. Sorry about the back man, I live with pain everyday. My right wrist is shot and my left elbow if hurting when it ain't asleep. I'm 57 and feel, well, 57. Most everything I got hurts and what don't hurt don't work. I am still enjoying life and I am sure you are too. Stay well and good luck. My friend the prostitute was in accident the other day and hurt her back bad. The doctor told us she was going to be alright as soon as she could get back on her back!:D
Peace, Purdman
 
You hang in there, Fatboy. I can only play while the coffee brews in the mornings. Any longer and I'm in back pain too. Best to you, sir.
 
Good luck, my friend!

You never know what can happen. Keep the faith!

I had three back operations earlier this year and now I can play again.

Fat Boy.....boy don't i know what you are talking about. I have 4 herniated discs in my back and 3 in my neck. I also have arthritis in both my knees because of having torn cartledge removed years ago. i am also now starting to feel it in both shoulders after having both operated on. What the orthopedic surgeon called the surgery was "Acromia plasty with a distal clavicle resectioning". What ever the hell that means. The only way i can shoot some pool is if i take 2 Lortab (hydrocodone) 10mg and a flexeril (muscle relaxant) about a half hour before playing and then i can barely last an hour. But you know what. It is definately worth it. and all this on top of beating cancer 15 years ago..So please keep a stiff upper lip and keep on fighting...NEVER GIVE UP... And all this at age 57 also..And no i will not let them operate or do anything until my wife passes and things get calmed down and better here at home............mike

thaqnks for the replys, we still dont know the problem, i played once and couldnt play, i'm not well. i'm not dieing that is a fact we checked that out 100%. i'm hanging in but 2.5 years is long enough, i had a good body that took me years to build in the gym and its rotting away, i'm not "fat" like the name says-it was an old nickname from 20 years ago in the pool room, i get back to america tuesday. Mayo clinick is next or Stanford, what ever is wrong is out of the scope of the place i'm going here in germany, i have a problem near my lumbar region of my back its probably not the spine itself. complicated stuff.

thanks again for the replys, i have had a terrible connection at this hotel,
 
FB,
Good luck. Remember Jeanette Lee has had EIGHT spine surgeries, back hurts like hell all the time, still plays fairly sporty. You can do it if you want it enough (but we may have to change your name to SkinnyBoy).
