Besides, we aren't all going to be around, whistling and yelling, when you do your first "down dog".

lol...I might have to check in to that. I know years ago when I hurt it originally I went through physical therapy which did nothing, then to a chiropractor and that did little and finally massage therapy which was a Godsend. That was the only thing that gave any relief and pretty much over the course of several months did much to take care of my problems, the pain at least. So if I go to the doctor next week because things are not better, I am definitely going to get him to prescribe massage as part of my treatment. That way my insurance will cover it.

My kind of massage is at the joint with the sign "An Arm. a Leg, and Member of Your Choice - $20".

It wouldn't bother me in the least if a drunk driver killed him/herself. Unfortunately they always seem to injure someone else. My wife injured her neck and back in a traffic accident some years ago and still has some mild lingering effects. Chiropractic helped a bit as did physiotherapy, but massage provided the most pain relief. As well changing from a spring mattress to a good latex (not foam) also helped. She also seemed more comfortable sitting in a recliner (aren't we all) as opposed to a straight back chair. I wish you luck and thanks for making the streets safer for the rest of us.
