    Hi okiedokie, fast dirt bikes and snowmobiles with little or no suspension did a number on me. Trucking just complemented that abuse. I had fun with all, and never once gave a thought as to how that would show up later in life.

    Arthritis really, really sucks. I've got it worst all thru my lower spine to the point that I can't work anymore and just got SSDI at age 46. I also have it in my shoulders, hips and knees but it's my back that is most painful and it never goes away. They want me to have surgery but the surgery will not stop it from getting worse, and might end up being even more painful. For now I'm waiting but laying in bed all day is just wrong. I don't know what to do.
