So awesome to see North Caddo with some real talent. We were terrible when I was in high school haha. The catch off the ground he had last night was just stupid. [link=(https://fb.watch/fKX_HWU2-T/)]LINK[/link]...

Truck Market

Posted by jtayl71 on 8/26/21 at 11:57 am

I am going to be in the market for a new truck very soon and the truck market right now is just insane. I know I can get a decent amount on a trade in, and used prices are damn near the same as new. I'm curious as to what will happen to prices once this chip shortage is over. Seems to me like everyo...

That was my original plan was to just hang on to my 3 and see what the 5a or 6 looked like. But I can't take the issues I'm having anymore. They arent bad phone still works very well, its just an annoyance. Really struggling with what to do haha....

I have been using the Pixel 3 for the last two years, and before that I have been with iPhones since the 4. I like a lot of things of both but essentially I love the Apple hardware but I am a fan of googles OS. I have loved my Pixel 3 but it is starting to give me fits with bluetooth and such. I'm t...

I have heard that the disc replacements are much better in the neck than in the lumbar due to the fact that the lumbar discs have so much more range of motion and bear so much more weight. But I think they are finally starting to catch up with that technology. ...

JBM, Sorry i've never responded on the inversion table. I could only use it for about 5 minutes max and the blood rushing to my head was just too much to take. I found I could last longer on it in the morning than the evening. I had a huge pop on it one night, scared me to death. How is every...

The ligament that holds all the vertebrae together which runs down the spinal canal on the opposite side of the spinal cord from the disc. The ligament is called ligamentum flavum and hypertrophy is when a ligament starts to thicken due to over stress or breaking down. So I showed signs of that liga...

I'm glad youre starting to get some relief! Turns out the discs in my neck are fine, but I actually have bone spurs growing which are closing in on the nerve roots in the C3-C4 and C4-C5 area. My PT says that they usually do not see this in people until way later in life he was kind of surprised. He...

Awesome, I'm glad to hear that! PT really seems to be helping my lower back as well. Just have to stay in the habit of doing those exercises. I'm reviewing my neck MRI report with my PT tomorrow so hopefully there is something we can start doing with it....
