    Mine doesn't feel foamy and it doesn't take power, but I can't find the tag on it with my husband sleeping to tell you which kind of mattress it is, but mine is the kind you can set a glass of water on one side of the bed and get in and out of bed without spilling the glass...

    I have box springs under the mattress so it's quite supportive..

    As far as doctors go. You need a better doctor. If an orthopedic surgeon doesn't properly assess you, try a neurosurgeon... I see a neurosurgeon but my issues are severe and require him...

    As far as bending over, i have a metal rod holding my spine together and can still bend over (although getting back up can be an issue sometimes.. lol.) So it's not the be all, end all of nerve damage and/or pinched nerves in your back.

    If its your lower back you have to assess whether you have shooting pain down your leg(s), numbness in your legs or feet, burning pain in your legs or feet, difficulty standing for short periods of time, difficulty sitting for short periods of time, having difficulty walking heel to toe, difficulty bending or getting back up... all these things have to be taken into consideration before determining what tests need done, and depending on the assessment, you may need an MRI to determine what nerves are affected.

    Getting a better mattress, doing physical therapy to strengthen your core muscles are all essential though regardless of your diagnosis, and believe it or not can help reduce the amount of pain your in.


    thanks. yeah, i been trying to get back into exercising.. it's the cirlce thing, i had a couple weeks crash preparation a few months back when i had to stop working out, then couldn't find the will to push thru it until it got smooth again..
    now that the crazy german's moved in, i'm getting better at it...

    gonna recheck those old book marks

    salamtek!

    Unfortunately, Don has been banned from the forum. :( I am in touch with him through text and phone though. If anybody would like, I will ask him if it would be OK to give his contact info.

    oh! that's too bad_ he's given me valuable advice on more than one occasion. kindly pass on our regards if it's alright.

    Blue is usually my 1st choice (with just about everything). :)

    Love the Blue or Purple

    :thumb:
    I love the purple one too! ;)

    Ummm... yeah, I had a feeling you would post something like that. :lol:

    Ok, so I also had saved this review from Geekay Vapes. Boxer Classic Squonk Mod Review & Updated Issues Very fair review, I think. The cons with the button, colored dye and 510 mechanism were the reasons I held off buying one. Picking up a decent 510 from Dennis @ Fat Daddy Vapes (yep, still around) or mod Makers would work. You can buy dye and GV was going to post a video on how to do it (can't be hard).

    I like it but still thinking.

    thanks for the thoughts and input. yes i remember the memory foam thing from when i first asked. i did get something... err foamy, but then the bed didn't feel right, the whatchamacallit springboard thing or the frame itself a problem, idk. been on the floor since. then the matress lost its power, acouple months after.

    donno what doc's youre talking abt_ barely recall ever feeling i got the right advice or treatment... the orthoped i went to ignored the bed thing, prescribed me insoles for the flatties (part of the problem) gave me a prescription for the limit of phystherap and a paper pics of exercises which i do.. there's another complication from the clenching per diff docs.. he was like ah i see you can ben down no problems good you're fine__ now i can't bend without grunting like a father-type with no brats to abuse..

    i'll explore the memory foam situation here (germany)

    what were the brands recommended again? serta? that's alright on the floor not losing it's form?

    thanks all
    I use a Serta memory foam mattress (not sure which one) on a piece of 3/4" plywood on the bed frame. It works on that, floor should be the same.

    I have a friend with pretty bad back problems.
    He sleeps at nite now by using cbd, he swears by it.
    Have you tried some to help you relax?
    It supposedly doesnt interfere with medications etc....

    Just a thought.....
    One of my friends takes high doses for stage 4 Pancreatic cancer along with her other treatments. They gave her 6-10 months. So far she has survived almost 3 years. She has an undefeatable spirit, and chemo and radiation do their part of course, but I do believe CBD has helped her a lot.

    goodbye
    Thanks. I put one in my cart. Now I gotta think about it lol

    Hey Skunk. My local shop has both the black and white one, and he will let me have it for $115.00(his cost). I can check and see if that offer is still good, if you're interested.

    I'm off to the favourite place.....see you in the morning guys....

    Sorry to hear about Don....he was a good guy except when the extreme right wing views surfaced. Sending positive thoughts....maybe they'll let him come back after a time out :)
