Pinched nerve... Ahhhh!

[Danthetree1]

With a lot of pole saw work for the last month...no end in sight.

That sucks! I suggest traction of some kind if you can get to it.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Massage.

Spinal decompression + Egoscue (Pain Free book).

After long days of power pruner / pole saw work, sometimes I feel as if Mr. Spock had given me the Vulcan nerve pinch!

 

[MasterBlaster]

If you're still standing, you weren't Vulcan pinched.

 

[Danthetree1]

That may be the cure.

 

[Nutball]

Where are the chainsawing drones these days? They should be everywhere by now

I am holding out for the laser version it should be quieter and better for the environment.

 

[Bermy]

Yeah, I dream of the laser saw...and the teleporter.

Sorry about your pinched nerve, definitely go for massage, might need some drugs in the first instance to calm things down at first.

 

[flushcut]

Oooo a teleporter! Beam me up Scotty.

I want a tree eraser that fits in the top pocket next to my cigs.

 

[flushcut]

Now that's just silly talk. Tree eraser that fits in your top pocket lol

 

[MasterBlaster]

Cigs in my top pocket would get crushed and soaking wet.

lots of rehydration, massage, stretching, etc.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's an entry-level one. I'd bump it up a notch...

 

[SeanKroll]

Ya, cheapest is never best. Its an easy entry point. I only ever needed it for a flare-up. Short-term use. Could be found on CL in a city, I'd bet.

 

[MasterBlaster]

If you aren't gonna use it much it should be fine. Just be gentle with it...

 

[SeanKroll]

Body weight is a factor. Higher body weights need better machines.

Hang by your feet upside down in a tree! (Make sure you can reach the prussik)

I've done that for speculative work for potential clients. Use SnapHeal or SuperEraser or just plain ol' Photoshop to remove a tree from a picture so they can see what they would be getting on a tree removal. If some company could create a specialized app for tree workers, it'd be even better. Probably sell a lot of jobs that way.

The woods behind her had that "look" of the wild, bad spot to be hanging by your feet and a big critter comes by.

Maybe go to a professional.

In my experience a pinched nerve simply takes time that comes with reduced range of motion and pain ... Gotta wait it out to be normal again , or as normal as I was before.

 

[Stumpshot]

Maybe my link for spinal decompression wasn't followed, but it's for the Dr. Gil Center for Chiropractic Health, right there in Franklin, TN. I used to hear good things about his work when I lived in middle Tennessee, about an hour south of there.

I had a pinched nerve in my neck that I felt going down my shoulder. It kind of buzzed most of the time. Neck was sore, but not bad enough to make me think about having it worked on. I was working in and around my front end loader bucket, which I had up in the air out of the way. It slowly settles and wearing a brimmed hat I didn't notice and smashed into it at a good clip. Bent my neck back and knocked me to the ground. No more pinched nerve! When it happened I thought man, I could have done myself some serious hurt here. Once in a while you get good and lucky.
