    That trailer...
    Looks as if the front would clear well, but the tail end wouldn't come thru with it.
    An illusion or is it marked 16.2 on the rear?

    By "true sciatica", nothing is presenting as far as muscle or skeletal injuries which normally cause sciatica. Typically it's due to lower lumbar injury, compression, degeneration, etc.. it's why one of the pain relievers is also what is used for diabetic neuropathy.

    So the Vet didn’t give Me the flea and tick 3 mo. Bravecto for my Dogs. Charged Me $110, plus $146 for 3 mos heart pulls for the young one. Didn’t think I had to check the bag. Not like its McDonald’s. Incompetence is run amok. Everywhere you go, nowadays. I have to remind myself 60% of people are under the influence of some type of Legal or illegal substance. Probably Stupid to begin with. Explains everything.

    It's really bad because some of these individuals are being directed to jobs like vet techs, pharmacy techs, etc that require some education, but aren't difficult to get in to. Many of them didn't get their first job until after high school, or even college, so they are just now learning things many of us did by 12-16 years old. Meanwhile we have older adults thinking minimum wage at McDonald's is a career that justifies 15-20/hr, because they can't mentally handle real jobs/trades.

    The old “Degenerative Disc” diagnosis. Lol. Yepper!! Means your getting old. Sometimes more so, than normal. My Daughter came home with that diagnosis, very worried. Told her not to worry. They throw that one around quite a bit. Either way, the compresson is the problem, whatever the cause. My Uncle has a bout recently, they put him in a sort of short term traction. Stretched him out. Says it worked great. Now he’s made a home made deal. I could use something like that. But as long as I’m doing somewhat well. I’m afraid to take a chance. Lol. Tricky Stuff. Lots of different causes. Hope you get well soon. I know it’s no fun at all. Makes the slightest things difficult.

    Two years ago, my right leg failed me. I could do or make it do everything except support weight.
    No pain at all just no support. Three days in the hospital. Several different tests by several different
    fields of expertise. Fourth day; OK, going to release you for therapy.
    This is good, can I get that here? (I had recovered from a stroke 3 years earlier there and they were the best.) No we cannot do that . Why? You have to have a diagnosis to be enrolled.
    Imagine my thinking? Three days, all experts on the case, and they do not know
    WHAT IS WRONG...... Guess that is why they style their facilities as "practices' ".
    Was transferred to an outpatient facility and in three weeks was walking again. Only struggling
    along with walkers and exercise brought it back.
    Any time we have such problems, there is a cause. MANY times the medics just can't isolate it
    right off. follow her advice.. keep getting attention to it.
    Old Clark forklift service manager quoted major work. Customer said I can't afford to do that now, what
    else can I do? SM said then park it, or talk to someone else, it ain't gonna get well by it self.

    I don’t his line of sight is perpendicular to the truck, and that’s making it look taller in the back.
