(Surgery it most likely not necessary, the correct exercises can "push" it back in and then train the other muscles (e.g.) the abs, to assume the correct amount of control to keep it where it should be. I've been slacking on the crunchies lately, i must admit.....)

Well monster, I really sympathize with people who live in chronic pain, because I do. It really sucks. I don't have muscle relaxers, but I do take hydrocodone on a fairly regular basis. I try not to take them unless the pain is really severe, but the pills really do make the pain go away, so it's hard not to take them all the time. All I know is, getting older really reeks. :D

i recommend beer over tablets ;)

Oh trust me. I do drink beer. Well, not crappy beer like Bud or Coors, but REAL BEER, like ales and stouts and barleywines. YUMSTERS! :D My ex used a have a "beer wall." He saved a bottle of every new beer we tried, and eventually he just built a wall for them. Then he had to start packing them in boxes because the wall ran out of room. He was going to build a new one, but we split up and he moved. I imagine he will eventually build another one. Maybe I'll post a picture of it later. Right now I have a belzebuth and a porter of some kind in the fridge. :D

Won't the tablets make the beer taste funny?
