SPINJIM 1,986 #4 Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Working on a tractor is better than going to a Physical Therapist, and a lot more fun. When you're able, get up and move around. Sounds like you have a good tractor to work on. Nothing like working with your hands to take your mind off of your aches and pains. I've had heart surgery, knee surgery, and a bad spine. I find that working on my tractors and on my yard keeps me going (along with some Aleve, Motrin, and beer). Good luck, and NEVER GIVE UP.

ohiofarmer 3,379 #11 Posted July 15, 2019 So true. I had a bike wreck that could have been a disaster I went back to work too quickly and my back went out. Worse than ever in my lifetime I get up early and have a muscle relaxer and Tylenol and once it kicks in go and putter in the barn . The pain is much less and my herd has freshened carburetors with more to come Gotta go. The herd is waiting 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
