I guess it is time to see a doctor, grrrrr....


My wife will go to the doctors at the drop of a hat but us guys we always seem to wait to see if it will possibly fix itself. I wonder why we do that.

Lazy people like myself never seem to have these problems. My advice to you is to stop going to the gym. Avoid physical activity if you can. Walking back and forth to the refrigerator and spending quality time with the wife are the exceptions. You're already in shape right?

If you really want exercise / back problems plant a garden. Your back and everything else will be sore, but at least you'll have something to eat. You can work for a little while and then take the Winter off.

That's what I do. I'm sore sometimes but I sure do have plenty of tomato sandwiches to go around and fresh tomato sauce never tasted so good.
