wow, what an idiot

See you there.

Happy Birthday man!

If it actually is a herniated disc, and not just bulging, then surgery is your only option. Decompression would work for a bulging disc, but once the "jelly" inside the disc bursts through the wall lining the disc, it won't do much good. I'm afraid you'd only be wasting your money. At least, that's how I understand it.

As long as they win on Saturday. I'll be at that game.

I had a herniated disc when I moved to Calgary in 2001, had surgery to repair it in 2002. Had all the lovley symptoms, including the sciatica. Woulnd't wish that kind of pain on anyone. 24/7 not really much you can do about it either. My disc was a total blow out and the only thing correcting it was surgery. I tried chiro, pain treatments, acupuncture, everything. Even physio with a lumbar stretching thing, nothing worked. Then I found out it was herniated, not bulging, and required surgery. After the surgery the pain was still there from swelling, but a couple months of Vioxx cleared that up. I thought I had a recurrence about a year ago where I couldn't stand up straight or walk without leg pain. Talked to my doctor, gave me some percocets (love those things) and told me to get some physio done. Reluctantly, due to my previous failure, I went. She pulled on my legs to straighten my hips, and it started to work. I then started seeing a Chiro at the same time, and the pain went away in about a week, completely gone inside a month. I now keep regular visits to the chiro to keep my spine in line and it has worked wonders for me. If you're in the SW and need a good name for a Chiro, let me know.

Now that's what I call a silver lining!

LMAO

AMEN

Stupid cloudy morning. No wonder all I caught was a twig fish.

Likely won't affect me much. I'm a pretty big tightwad too when it comes to fishing gear. That's why I have two TFO rods. LOL Now that I have renewed my lisence, I'm golden. Short trips around the city, Fallen Timber, Livingstone, Highwood, Oldman, hopefully I'll have time to visit Crowsnest one day, other than that, usually the Bow. Just trying to get better at the whole fishing thing. Practise makes perfect.

If you watch some of the other youtube videos of this kid, he makes some pretty spectacular plays during game action too. Very creative kid. Not like Schremp where all his highlight reel stuff is during the shootouts. Don't get me wrong, Schremp has great hands, and can think the game pretty well, but Omark uses them to his advantage during the game and makes some incredible individual plays.

That underwater shot is SWEET! Nicely done. I got out this morning too, but the only thing I got to had was a nice "Twig Fish" Foul hooked that sumbitch real good.

Picked mine up at the Airport of all places. Good read on the flight to Vancouver last week.

Happy Birthday to the guy I hope can vastly improve my skills on the Bow.......

I agree, and it should be stricken from the boards

Happy Birthday Mitch. Whomever you may be.......

Why do you ask?

Don't we all have better things to do?

Seriously, who would waste valuable time posting multiple posts for no apparent reason to help a dying thread?

Yeah, like that's gonna happen.

Beauty video Jay. It's video's like this that assure me there are some beautiful fish in that river. They just don't like me very much.

I also enjoyed that story. Thank you for the smile. I hope the first time I venture into back coutry doesn't result in a similar scenario, sans doggy.

Man.....now I want some McNuggets......

Never seen, and never done. Looks pretty slick though.
