Addiction is a horrible thing, it may be achohol or weed or the worse that is out there. keep your head up Randy you did the right thing. Some individuals need to hit the bottom before they open their eyes. With this situation being a loved one it makes it even worse. Been there and it's the worst feeling, Your son in law is in my prayers.

Really bad situation, but good call on your end in my opinion. Heal up soon.

Ive had better luck healing torn mucles and tendons ect from seeing sports trainer recovery phsio specialists at the gym than presciption drugs from a doctor , exerciseing and making the muscle stronger and getting blood flow to repair the damage is what the guy always says to me . When i was climbing and selling firewood and timber i felt *s-word all year round and i actually started doing yoga and it changed everything

Welp.......back from another exam. Same diagnosis. Badly ripped groin muscle.

He said he does not think I need surgery. He gave me some steroids to jump start the healing process. And......he told me to try and stay horizontal for a few days.

After I start healing a little, stretching exercises are in my future.

Get well soon, Randy. Sucks getting older when you don't heal up as quickly as you once did. I am not too awfully far behind you on age and I can fell it too. Sounds like you are just going to have to take it easy for a while. I wish I were closer I would love to come hang out/volunteer on the weekends to lend a hand.

The other situation just sucks all around. No easy solution for that one, but luckily you know an expert on how to get and stay clean. Congratulations BTW! It sounds like you did what needed to be done. You were loud and clear about letting him know that it is not okay, and you will not stand for it. You are also defunding the addiction so it will likely get better or worse but at least it should not stay the same. Nobody wants to be around that, be and enabler or put your loved ones in that situation.

Stay calm like a bomb.

Get yourself healed up Randy. Sounds like that boy needs a kick in the ass. If it wasn't half way across the country I'd be there to help without a doubt.

Randy,

Sorry to hear about Jon, I hope Bubba and your daughter are doing okay.

I tore a hip flexor running track in college, I could barely lift my leg to go up steps. Rest is what you need, has anyone mentioned ultrasound?
