How many times has he divorced God .................

At least you have a choice Scott , if Fred wants to have a mullet again he's got to get one of theses...............

Nope, can't agree to that , Even if you're married to a psycho killer bitch at least you have someone to talk to rather than staring at the goggle box or chatting to yourself

I'm trying to speak to a Doctor and then I'll probably be doing fuck all ........................

FFS !! I just spent an hour filling in an online form just to get a 'medical practitioner' to phone me. You can't just phone our doctors and get an appointment anymore . WTF is going on

It seems that Dago flu jabs aren't really that good then ?

Yesssssssssssssss, a decent night's sleep at last .............

Hands are much harder to deal with imo Scott, I'm in awe of how you just keep on doing what you're doing . Is there any prospect of you getting a bionic arm or does your hook work well enough for you ?

Nice work on those carbs

Correct

So last weekend we saw the BSO play this live. There's something very special about watching a full orchestra play something like this .............

That, right there ............

What Fred has neglected to tell you is that if you haven't got 'sheep worrier' on your CV you ain't going anywhere

Your all heart

Hmmmmmmmmmm, pain only signals itself to your body because of nerves. Unfortunately I made a bit of a mess of my leg so nerves were all over the place . They also try to grow again and because they have nowhere to go in my leg they grow a sort of fuzzy ball on the ends , those nerves start to touch bones, muscles etc and send pain out. The idea behind taking away the main nerve at the back of my knee in my last surgery is it would eliminate that but for whatever reason it hasn't worked. So the one they took away from me was the common peroneal nerve I'm not going to bore you anymore with this stuff but here's some info if you want to read it. What phantom pain feels like The sensation of phantom pain can vary widely. Depending on the person, it might involve: throbbing tingling or pins and needles burning sharp pain, like shooting or stabbing cramping sensations that feel like electric shocks Causes of phantom pain The exact cause of phantom pain is unclear, but it’s thought to be related to: Nerve damage The removal of a body part causes damage to peripheral nerves. This can irritate and overexcite the nerve endings, causing spontaneous sensations. Central sensitization Your peripheral nerves lead to your spinal nerves, which are connected to your spinal cord. When a peripheral nerve is damaged during amputation or injury, central sensitization may occur. This involves increased neural activity and sensitivity in the spinal cord, resulting in phantom pain. Brain remapping After a body part is removed, the brain redirects sensations from that part to another area of the body. This is called remapping or reorganization. As a result, you may feel pain in the missing body part when the nerves are stimulated in the surrounding area. Psychological factors In some cases, certain psychological conditions can trigger or contribute to phantom pain. These factors include: depression anxiety increased stress How is phantom pain treated? Phantom pain may go away on its own after several months. But if the pain persists, there are several treatment options: Medications The following medications are used to manage phantom pain: tricyclic antidepressants (most common) opioids nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs anticonvulsants NMDA receptor antagonists Medical treatment Some medical therapies might also manage phantom pain: Transcutaneous nerve stimulation. This treatment, known as TENS, stimulates nerves using electrical currents. Central nervous system stimulation. In this treatment, electrical signals stimulate the brain or spinal cord via implanted electrodes. Biofeedback. In biofeedback, electrodes are placed near the affected area. A specialist will teach you how to control certain functions in the area. Other therapies for phantom pain In addition to medication and medical treatments, the following therapies may be used: Acupuncture. Acupuncture uses thin needles to stimulate certain areas of the body. Research on its benefits for phantom pain is still ongoing. Massage. Massaging the affected area may help relieve muscle tension. It’s also useful for managing stress and anxiety. Mirror therapy. This therapy may be helpful for certain types of phantom pain, including phantom limb pain. It uses a mirror box to reflect the healthy limb onto the amputated side, which tricks the brain.

Yep, that was one of the exercises in the hypnosis therapy. Last night I was massaging my actual stump (no laughing at the back) but it didn't help.

I presume because of her spinal chord ?

Nice one Terry , I briefly saw my old DR350 in one of the pics Who was the fat f*cker with the bald head

First bloke I knew with a drone, I couldn't work out how you'd done some of your early vids

I don't see that getting up many of our green lanes but it would be a right laugh on Salisbury Plain.

So I presume the pain killers are for her back, is that the arthritis causing the aggro ?

How's your wife doing today @XTreme ?

Yes, it was 50% about that Pete The last op was a success in that it has enabled to walk a fair distance without the terrible cramping I used to get but it has done nothing to resolve the phantom pains even though they took away the big nerve behind my knee.

I get 'feelings' in my three little toes nearly all the time . I get pains in my heel from time to time but the worst are the big bangers (that I'm getting now) in the arch of my foot. At the moment these have lasted four days so I'm really hoping they'll stop soon. I can still feel my big toe now , 22 years later and that can be a bugger as well.

My opinion (for what it's worth) , you need to try and generate some of your own experiences on your bike . Just copying stuff from elsewhere isn't going to win you a lot of followers as people may have seen that stuff before ..........
