Guest guest Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Laurel, Thanks. I will look into them after we pay my hospital bills, Adam's stress test and doctor bills and his bone scan and CAT scan on his right foot, the potential surgery for correcting any problems and the doctors' bills that are associated with that. As you can see, we do have our problems. A chiropractor would be more expensive for the adjustment, but less funny for those watching. Hope your hip healed fine.

It only goes so far, plus there's a spot probably about where my cervical & thoracic spine meet. I don't think they're getting along very well. It feels like they're trying to stab each other in there. >It was quite funny after my tumble down my front steps last fall, my stiff neck was much better for awhile. Do you suppose the fall was kind of like an adjustment of sorts? >The hip I landed on didn't think so! >My no-line bifocals were terrible for computer work, so I got some glasses specifically for working on the computer. If I remember right, they're called " Access Lenses " . They are so worth the money. I keep them right beside the monitor. You can even see fairly well in the distance. You may want to try some of those, then you won't look like one of those " bobbing dogs in the rear window " trying to find just the best spot to see the screen. >Take care, Mike! >Laurel > > Re: Stiff Neck > > > Laurel, > > I have a chronic stiff neck I attribute it to my poor sitting posture at > the computer and while writing at work.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Perhaps we are all just " stiff-necked " about this disease and will not let it get us down. ;-) Mike jeanneannneff@... wrote: >My neck is ALWAYS stiff............it's like I can't find a comfortable >position for it.
