Back in the saddle again

Finialy back home from rehab,now it's time too get back to playing.my guitar that is.two weeks with no guitar hurts more then my knee replacement.lol

Hey man I just had a total hip replacement Sept. 23rd. Too bad I don't live closer, I could swing by and we could have walker races.

One day my hip muscles seemed to be wanting tighten and release on their own, so I asked my wife to bring me my acoustic. I laid the back of the guitar on my hip and played some songs in the key of E and G. Maybe my muscles would have stopped anyway, but after the sound waves moved through massaging the muscles for a bit, they quit cramping.

Just passing on the information as I found it interesting and who knows if it might help you at some point. If all you have is electric guitars, maybe a set of head phones placed on the knee would help. Just play soft healing music.

Welcome home, from your guitars.

I love the guitar therapy tip!

On behalf of the entire GT family, I wish you both a speedy recovery.

hahaa...."walker races", at least you still have your sense of humor. That must be a TOUGH surgery, yikes! :(

Cool story about the guitar playing helping your cramping, music definitely is theraputic. My dad drinks apple cider vinegar for cramps, it taste like crap but he said it works for his leg cramps.

yes, I wish you both a speedy and healthy recovery too!

Thanks to you both.

I have a friend the doctors say has acid reflux pretty bad.

So he started drinking a small glass of apple cider vinegar every time it bothered him. I asked him about it a while back, he said it's pretty much gone and if it tries to come back he just slams a glass of the vinegar. He also says, it tastes like crap, but it works.

Everybody should look into nascent iodine. Here's Dr. Brownstein's talk on; Iodine, The Most Misunderstood Nutrient. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-I7d-3GCB4

...sorry to hear about the injuries guys. I'm now into a knee brace due to an old injury and am healing a crushed thumb. Fortunately, I could play the guitar the day my thumb was crushed...thought my passion (guitar) was over. Ironically, without the thumb nail I was able to press my thumb into a better shape for thumb overs! ...kids, don't try this at home, it hurts, bad.

My dad says the same thing about acid reflux+apple cider vinegar=gone.

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best! Works for dandruff and as a natural deodorant too.

Thanks everyone for your kind words &···support..way cool .i must say i a m having to take a short break from GT's. It wont be easy by any means
But i assure everyone it wont be long at all .see after my knee replacement i been in a great deal of pain and my doctor gave me pain meds,now keep in mind i am not one for tacking pain medication so doc says i will be on this goovy med for several months and i am saying no way in hell will i take this for that long.it hurts so bad i so need it now, but i will stop asap as soon i can bear it.cause on this medication not only can i not concentrate,but i can hardly play my axe.so i need to rid the goovy pills and try to man up over here so i can sighn in for one one or two years thats all.i ll leave off with i will miss gt,, and everyone else too.

I healed myself using apple cider vinegar too - I didn't believe it would work so I set out to prove to my friend that he was dead wrong about it. I hate to admit this, but he was so right and I was so wrong. I'm healed now and only get heartburn once in a great while like if I drink too much. I used to have a huge jar of rolaids by bed and I'd have about 4 a night just to get through the night. I haven't touched rolaids in a couple of years now. :)
