Re: You don't want to hear this (none / 1)

STOP drinking alcohol!
Get on tylenol if you need to. Stop using alcohol as a pain killer.
WALK every day. Make sure you have good shoes for it. I recommend 1 - 1.5 hours EVERY day. I'm always at it at the crack of dawn.
Wean yourself off of all (tylenol) pain killers.

This is what I did for my disintegrating lower spine over the last 8-9 months and I don't regret it. I don't miss the alcohol at all.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

I don't use alcohol as a pain killer. I drink 2 - 3 times a week. What the heck is tylenol ? Sounds addictive and unhealthy, I'll pass thanks.

I do walk most days, to the paper shop. But if it's raining my enthusiasm dies.

Tylenol = paracetamol.

Oh god, I avoid that stuff. It's in lemsips which I take when I've got a cold, but apart from that I never take it. Ever.

If I have a really bad headache I'll take ibuprofen, but that's it.

OK, have it your way. Just trying to help.
