@Donny, do your fader meter lights go goofy if your mixer is made smaller? Mine does this ever since the last upgrade (when they changed the Chanel EQ Strip) and it drives me nuts.

At Cleve Clinic, they hit me hard with steroids muscle relaxers and pain killer, so I'm as good as I can be under the circumstances. Just waiting for Alicia to come get me. I'm going no stir crazy right now.

I send positive energy to you Donny !

I'm back home. Long night, MRI's, X-Rays, blood panels, Prednisone IV - which I hate the effects of - no matter how it's administered - gives me a very "jaggy" and panicky kind of feeling, but I suspect they were really whacking me with a high does last night.

MRI showed a herniated L5 ( which I already knew about), a subluxated L4 ( which I also already knew about), except that now, the distance(s)/spaces between the discs and the vertebrae have increased,
giving a lot of "play" for things to shift and move around - which is not a good thing, because that's what is causing the friction on the nerves, the biggie being the Sciatic.

Anyway, long night... but I sincerely do appreciate everyone's concern. ;)

Sorry to hear this all, Pal.

I have a similar, but not near advanced sciatica nerve thing as you which gives me sickening pain about 4 times a year. I believe it was all caused from heavy lifting of road cases filled with power amps up into our bus and playing a brutally heavy custom built "Les Paul Custom" for years as well. Those things crushed my back.

Exercise really helps me. I've also reduced the amount I sit and mix. I am going back to standing and mixing.

Hope it passes soon, Donny.

Or use the profit incentive in the opposite way. Assign each general practitioner a number of patients, give him a fat salary and deduct for each day a patient is not able to work. Doctors could get bonus money for giving second opinions on other doctor's patients. Of course there would be some threshold where patients are moved off their GP's list and into more targeted treatment.
