Yesterday I bought a cheap (Ace) wrist support from Rite Aid and it did help. When I took it off last night the pain returned. My wife's a golfer too so the next time her wrists flares up she can check mine out. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sluggo42 3,300 #345 Posted April 15, 2018 They seem to come faster and easier these days of old age. Right forearm, trying to pull a darned sewer snake out of a lateral... And I was just getting back from strained elbow tendons on the same arm! Geeeez 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GolfSpy STUDque 9,263 #346 Posted May 10, 2018 I re-upped on the wrist power. Went for white this time since it's summer. My kids love tugging on my bracelet so the old one got stretched out. Still, I'm glad I got it. Not sure if it helps the wrist pain but I've been able to wear it 24/7 (including showers) and it hasn't gotten on my nerves so Also, I spotted a wrist widget in the wild today. A lady in the pro shop was rocking a gray one before heading out for her round. She had a pretty good idea of wearing a wristband under it. That was my biggest gripe while I wore it: the Velcro edges were uncomfortable on my dainty skin. Luckily, I haven't had to go back to wearing one yet this year even though I've been smashing range balls like a madman.

fozcycle 8,005 #347 Posted May 11, 2018 I have been dealing with pain in my right tricep area for a couple weeks now. Doesn't seem to want to go away.

Glftips 32 #352 Posted May 25, 2018 It is good to see the many guys are recovering from some nasty injuries. I am having back problems and now getting shots and chiropractic care. I am 73 and still in good shape and have a 4 cap. I have shot my age a few times at 71 and 72 but the back is not working and golf has not been much fun. I do not want any surgery as I have had too many..maybe 7 on my left leg, both knees replaced, prostate cancer, open heart and gall bladder. I was wounded twice in combat as a Marine officer in Vietnam and am 100% disabled by the VA. Golf has been important in my life as I played professionally (mini tours) when I was young and still have my card. I am still in the golf business but I am afraid my playing days might be coming to an end. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattF 5,296 #353 Posted June 4, 2018 I'm out for a couple of days. Seems as though the drive to Indy and back aggravated something caused by the heavy lifting at Lowes. The Doctor seems to think I have some nerve inflammation in the L1 nerves that go into the groin. Very painful to walk and laying down and getting up from bed is a bit of a nightmare as it also affects the pubic region (not the nads you clowns, the area above it). They took x-rays of my lower back to check for a herniated disc as well and sent me home with Percocets and steroids. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattF 5,296 #357 Posted June 7, 2018 OK, so, another kick to the plums was apparently in order. X-ray revealed degenerative disc disease of the L5-S1. That's why I have lower back pain quite a bit and why long drives leave me worse for wear. Annnd, just for s#$ts and giggles, they saw a large calcium deposit but can't tell if it's in my kidney or not...but I'll say not because I have no symptoms at all of kidney stones. But to "be on the safe side" I have to get an ultrasound and blood test tomorrow...hope I'm not pregnant! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there anything you can do to slow the degeneration? Physical therapy, etc.? Good luck on the tests tomorrow! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
