Prayers for back healing...I was a truck driver for 4 years.in the Army in the 80s. I started.having back issues and was medically discharged. I have been on 100% disability since then. :(
Glad they’re getting things straightened out finally. I’ve had 19 of the epidural injections over the years, they do work wonders but are temporary. If they allow it do the PT and ask about acupuncture. An MRI would be good to see if there’s anything else going on causing it. Feel better JJ!!
I’m not a PT or doctor… just someone that played sports my whole life and had to deal with bad lower back on a yearly basis. A few of the things I did to help out were first and foremost get my weight down. 2nd I bought an exercise ball and started doing crunches. If you do 5 or 10 crunches per day that’s a great start to start helping support your back. 3rd I bought I new mattress and also kept a foam mattress on floor and in the middle of night I would switch mattresses sometimes going from bed to floor and back to bed. 4th light back stretching many times a day. A PT can probably help for sure but if they suggest something that makes you regress for sure quit that. There were weeks I slept in a chair or sat on couch 24/7 but with lots of rest I got back to 99% good…
I have had back issues before myself. Mine would feel like a knife stuck in my lower back when i would move. A Chiropractor was the only relief that worked for me. I had to go nearly every day for like two weeks. Hang in my friend
Thought about it, but it's not exactly close by, it's not very secure and there are very few free spots. They go fast. It's always a gamble with truck parking in Vegas (pun intended)
Hey JJ Good luck man with everything. It will work out so don’t get discouraged. I definitely lmao when you talked about your hair.. I said to myself, “This dude is worried about his hair “. And I’m someone that is going bald and wish I could have your long hair. I’m just curious my stepbrother is looking at moving to Tucson from here in Tx and I’m just curious w/o naming your place how much the rent is there ?? Take care and get well soon.✌️
Lol. Rents in Tucson seem to run around $1100-1400 for a decently nice 1 bedroom in an OK neighborhood. There are less expensive options, but you either get a bad neighborhood or it's not that nice of a place (usually both)
@@JJtheTrucker Thanks man for answering my question. I’ve been thru Tucson and been to the national park there but, never had the need to know about living or renting out there… Like I said my step brother is wanting to go live there. He recently just showed up at my house unexpectedly and I’m ready to give him the boot.. lol 😂 Again thanks for answering and healthy and good vibes coming at ya….✌️
@JJTheTrucker I'm a new subscriber. My son is just starting out and we love your video from 4 years ago showing us your interior set up! Where did you get that fridge? What are the specs? We are so sorry to hear you're having back pain! An MRI is a great idea, and maybe a pain clinic that could do a denervation? Praying you'll have relief very soon!
It's not worth it for 1 truck. Lots of headache and risk. And if the driver quits, I'd have to go get the truck and I can't do that. Just not worth it.
@@JJtheTrucker yeah that's true, it would have to be someone you could really trust and that's hard to find these days, Goodluck, hope you heal fast, prayers love and hugs

Get better JJ, glad you are getting the care you need now. Hopefully they can get this resolved sooner than later!
Great to hear that the insurance fiasco is getting worked out. Praying for You and for the Dr's to get you back to better health.
Best of luck, JJ.
keeping you in my prayers JJ
O wow . I just saw this . Hope you’re getting better . Haven’t been on TH-cam for a long time but just jumped on and looked you up . Take care
Hope you get better can't wait to see you back behind the wheel avoid injectables all they do is mask the problem instead of solving it

Park out by the petrol by the racetrack and just move it about every 4 days from one parking spot to another

It will work out so don’t get discouraged.

So glad to hear things are on the upswing both physically and with the rat bastard insurance mafia!
😢Bummer. Did you sell the truck yet?
☮️
U rock, bro. Good to hear from you.
Couldn't you put someone in your truck so you can still make money?
