re: Airline Park neighborhood in Metry
Posted by SMACKYtheFROG on 2/16/24 at 5:55 pm
I live in between TH Harris and Airline Park Elementary. My house was fully remodeled when I bought it but most homes are very outdated (lots of small rooms). The neighborhood is great except for the week of NYE and Independence Day when seemingly everyone turns into a fireworks fanatic. My property...
re: Avascular Necrosis - Femoral Heads
Posted by SMACKYtheFROG on 1/11/24 at 6:10 pm
I will be having the stem cell therapy also. Now I’m thinking I should ask about going ahead and doing the left side right after the right so I can just take short term disability one time. Just get it over with and hopefully not have any problems for the next 10 years. Thanks for the great informat...

re: Small tear of long head of R bicep
Posted by SMACKYtheFROG on 4/29/23 at 2:09 pm
I had a “small tear” a few years ago that quit responding to steroid shots. Pain was insane so I had bicep tenodesis surgery and surgeon found bone spurs in the bicipital groove that had shredded the bicep. The surgery recovery was around 12 months, but now I am pain free and still have same strengt...
re: Anyone deal with diverticulitis?
Posted by SMACKYtheFROG on 1/30/23 at 7:53 pm
I kept having attacks over the course of a year and the surgeon wouldnt do surgery because it was a small section being affected. Well, it finally perforated my colon and I had about 8” removed in emergency surgery and woke up with an Ileostomy bag on my abdomen. “Luckily” I only had the bag 3 month...

Pain in the mid/outside foot when putting any weight on it. Had X-ray today that showed hallus valgus and bunion formation. Getting MRI also due to having connective tissue autoimmune disease. Anyone have experience with this and could share their experience with treatment or how you got relief?...

Landscape Orleans just did my backyard. They graded everything for drainage after I had an oak tree cut down. Installed a small paver patio, planted small trees along the back fence with dusk/dawn up lights, and sodded the entire yard. They were very good and quick....

re: AC Joint Clean Up
Posted by SMACKYtheFROG on 11/19/21 at 12:11 pm
I had it last Friday along with a rotator cuff repair. From what I understand they cut off a portion of the collarbone to create more space at the joint. I’m 7 days post op and it’s actually been a pretty painless recovery so far....

re: Bone spur in shoulder
Posted by SMACKYtheFROG on 11/18/21 at 10:11 am
I had a bone spur in the groove where my bicep runs. I had surgery 7 months ago to remove it and had to cut the bicep and attach to humerus since it was shredded. Felt great after 4 months but then I over did it and tore my rotator cuff and labrum. Had surgery on that last Friday and going to rehab ...
re: Labrum/rotator cuff tears

The bicep tenodesis worked great, but after rehabbing I was put on prednisone for a Crohn’s flare up. It made me feel great and I hit the gym hard and must have destroyed my shoulder and not noticed because the prednisone prevented all the inflammation....
