chuteless 1 #1 September 29, 2005 I paid a visit to the doctor yesterday. He was prescribing some pills for the massive degenerative arthritis from the top of my spine to the bottom, and he told me, that Xrays taken awhile ago indicated I cracked my pelvis, of which I wasn't aware. I also have a crushed vertebrae ( which I knew about) and dozens of other old fractures from heel to shoulder, and 1 consussion. The old wounds still give lots of arthritis trouble, but when they keep finding more, I find that quite funny. Bill Cole D-41 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 14 #2 September 29, 2005 Ouch!! If you had known you last this long . . . . Sorry to hear about all that going on. Hope the doc can do you some good.

Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites chuteless 1 #4 September 29, 2005 Yes...all from jumping except one broken arm before I started jumping. I used to say I healed well, but thats not the case anymore, and I'm paying for all those crash and burn landings, some made for films, some during air shows, some for the heck of it. I aint daid yet....I figure another 7 years likely at best.

I know I'm still a young doe but I'm feeling the effects of skydiving along with the toughness of the 82nd Airborne Division. I pulled a Primary Jumpmaster Duty on a C-130 yesterday and had a beautiful jump. It wasn't until the end of the day that I felt the effects of the bulky T-10D parachute and belly-mount reserve.

I've got a herniated disc in my L-4. I started working-out and excersizing. Doc, had me on Celebrex and my last check-up... he took me off it. I was scared to death, I'd go through the pain again. I've been off Celebrex, 6-months. No problems. I also take Glucosomene-500 milligrams with Condroitan - 400 milligrams twice a day as well as Calcium Citrate, twice a day (630 milligrams) total. I've got Arthritis, also. Those two things seem to really help and my doctor told me to continue. You might ask your doctor. I'm not licensed to prescribe medications. It's all, over the counter from any drugstore. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
