I live in constant chronic pain. The only time I have relief is while riding. Go figure.
+1. Except I take oxycontin. At first I thought it was a dirty deadly drug until my neurosugeon told me that society gave it that name due to abuse and careless use to get high like heroin. It really works and I do not really get high due to what it does to help pain. Hell, he has scoulded me for not taking enough of it...figure that one out.

Don't complain...people do not care.
