I don't know Terry, I've seen some stimulating discussion concerning comfortable footwear and dental hygiene (possibly from the Burton Report) on that other site lately. How could that be considered barren?

Feet and teeth sometimes go together. Usually seen in an old Billy Jack movie or Bruce Lee.

What titillating conversations will occur in the future I wonder.

Of course I do agree with the feet issue. There is some absolute truth to, high impact footwear causing some continued spinal injury, due to the impact. I am getting more involved in the continued wearing of MBT footwear. Being a lumbar ADR recipient, I cannot afford impact on my lower spine. I wear the MBT's, which mimic walking in sand, and take away all lumbar impact from the walking.

Check out the concept here:

Terry,

I agree with the footwear importance. I've been gelin' for quite some time and it's helped a great deal in slowing up the gradual increase of pain level each day.

I had asked for a pair of MBTs for Christmas but all I got was a stupid tie with glow-in-the-dark snowmen on it..........

How have your facet injections worked out?

I am feeling much better, not perfect, but better. I think my problem was that my normal Physiatrist was on vacation so I had her partner do the injections. He is not as skilled as she is nor, does he know my history like she does. Dr. Naylor is a master with a needle. Her bed-side manners are fabulous as well. I am very impressed by her and her husband, who is my medical director, for the program I run. They are both fabulous physicians who truly care about the patients they see. So, while I have some relief, it is not perfect, and may need to be repeated in the future.

I cannot stress how great the MBT's are. I have two pairs of them currently and am waiting on a brand new ordered pair. This is the link to the new shoes I ordered:

MBT Antishoe - Product List Look up the Tembea Mink which is the brown colored shoe.

I would also encourage that others look in to the purchase of a pair if you have lumbar issues. They may not win a fashion contest but, I am personally too old to care what people think. I have to focus on what mechanically works for my spinal condition. They do take a breaking in period. It is recommended that you wear them an hour the first day and gradually increase the time that you have them on. I pretty much walk exclusively with the shoes to reduce the pounding impact on my lower spine.

Yeah, I have read over there too, looks pretty dead. Think anyone has realized what has happened? Or to pride full to give a hoot?

I gave a heads-up to Rich (Builder), who's currently in Malaysia for a 2 level C - ADR.
He had no idea everyone had left the other board.
He's doing great, btw. One week out and he's out with the wife doing the town!
