Had enough of NC doctors trying procedures on me that are extremely painful with no results. So my family decided it was time to see the best in the country:

http://www.mayoclinic.org/pain-rehabilitation-center-rst/

It's going to cost a pretty penny and I'll be there for 3 weeks (hope my family will let me rent a car). I can't get in until February we found out, so I should see as much snow in 3 weeks as I have in my whole life.


Alright bring on the trolls.

you don't have to tell us...you posted this crap in chit chat, which means you desperately need the attention

8/26/2010 8:16:48 AM

I've been told to stick to Chit Chat by the moderators...

8/26/2010 8:17:26 AM

if that's true, i feel like i should buy the moderators lunch in appreciation

8/26/2010 8:18:37 AM

that is in making new threads, also I don't see any Health and Wellness sections...

8/26/2010 8:19:20 AM

even their website is recognized by Time Magazine

I hear the first thing they do is separate you from tww

8/26/2010 9:04:02 AM

I hope this is not one of the many areas where Mayo is highly over rated just because they are Mayo.

8/26/2010 9:04:45 AM

If it is overrated he knows who to contact to sue them.

8/26/2010 9:06:38 AM

this is the only Mayo Clinic with a Pain Rehabilitation Center in the US.

8/26/2010 9:07:48 AM

8/26/2010 9:08:42 AM

Mayo is good on a BLT.

8/26/2010 9:12:59 AM

congrats. now STFU.

8/26/2010 9:21:56 AM

Best of luck, blackdog.

8/26/2010 9:24:44 AM

Yeah, in all seriousness you sound like you have a really shitty physical situation... so hopefully this helps and you can get your (seemingly out of whack if you go by internet persona) life in order...

8/26/2010 9:25:31 AM

thanks

8/26/2010 9:27:17 AM

Keith, I'm really happy for you!

8/26/2010 9:31:43 AM

No matter what you got, Robitussin better handle it.
''Daddy, l got chronic pain all over my body.''
''Robitussin.''
''Yeah, boy, let that 'tussin get in there."
''Yeah, boy, let that 'tussin get on down to the bone."

8/26/2010 9:34:27 AM

actually one of the major points of the Mayo Clinic is to get off of meds

Quote :

"The PRC carefully measures program results. More than 85 percent of patients complete the three-week program. Among patients who finish this program, nearly 84 percent report greater control over pain, 70 percent note a decrease in pain severity (despite discontinuing pain medications during treatment), aerobic activity levels increase in nearly 93 percent, and more than 80 percent report a decrease in depressive symptoms."

My wife has to deal with chronic pain patients all the time. They are, with very few exceptions, all junkies.

8/26/2010 9:40:54 AM

a pain clinic is a lot different than this, at least read a little.

8/26/2010 9:52:31 AM

that would not help me in my quest to be a dick this morning.

8/26/2010 9:55:03 AM

In this case, it is DEFINITELY a junkie.

8/26/2010 9:56:05 AM

ooooooooooo except I'm not going to a pain clinic....

8/26/2010 9:57:06 AM

good luck

while true...though, i doubt thats their goal. i dated a girl that i felt was becoming a junkie. actually she was already a junkie and couldnt admit it. i hope she was able to get off taking 15-20 pills a day.

8/26/2010 10:03:54 AM

^^ thanks

8/26/2010 10:07:56 AM

Mods: When he gets back, ban him for anymore drug/pain threads/posts. This is supposed to fix him.

Good luck, dude!

I really hope you get some relief and maybe discover how to manage your pain in a way that works for you.



Cause, man, oh, man, the people who don't find a way to appropriately manage it are really, really annoying.

8/26/2010 12:58:30 PM

As soon as he gets back, I'm going to steer him back into a life of pain, addiction, drugs, and ladyboy prostitution. He will be sucking dicks in back alleys and at truck stops again in no time.

Just got back from visiting the Mayo two weeks ago. The airport there is laughably small but the facilities are ballin. There is live music outside several days a week. Missed the free Starship show by about a week.

8/26/2010 2:56:52 PM

there are about 4 Mayo locations

8/26/2010 4:57:38 PM

good luck bro. maybe you can get that naloxone/natrexone combo to kill the addiction

8/26/2010 5:05:45 PM

sounds like rehab. good luck.

Mayo did a great job with my father's post-cancer surgery

Good luck!
