All this from Humvee rides? what the fuck
I thought he got hit by an IED or some shit.
Trust me, you can't.
I'm in a similar way(Though mine got caused by getting kicked in the back, and I was younger when it happened), same fucking retarded doctors(One even having the fucking gall to tell me to just down some paracetamol), even had the same morons that said nothing was wrong. Trust me, living with indescribable pain for this long breaks you, makes you weaker in some ways but stronger in others. Around five years ago I finally found someone who could help me, a physiotherapist, who after checking my back for around five minutes asked why I hadn't killed myself yet, I was apparently one of the worst cases he's ever seen after being mangled by shit chiros and shit doctors. When I first met him I couldn't even turn my upper body or neck. Nowadays the pains a bit less and I can move most joints normally. If anyone has the same problems I really suggest going a privatized route immediately, and to avoid chiros, nothing good ever comes from those.

dude humvees are fuck. They have almost no suspension cushioning, so everything the wheels feel, you feel. Coupled with an all steel interior there is nowhere for you to rest.

[QUOTE=Saxon;45260044]All this from Humvee rides? what the fuck[/QUOTE]
imagine carrying a huge backpack full of bricks on your back while riding in a car with a shit suspension
thats basically what US soldiers do in Hummers/APCs/MRAPs/ETC. every day.
now add all the mental scarring and PTSD that can occur during war and you got yourself a modern day US Vet.
they shouldn't even be in those fucking countries in the first place

Thats fucked, are the new replacement vehicles any better? I can't believe this country can spend billions on bogus equipment but no decent seats so our troops don't get fucked up backs for life. Christ I've been through a massive accident where we rolled down a hillside a bunch into a lake and my back isn't even as fucked up as that.
The iraq war was just vietnam all over again, even the aftermath.
Shame really, I thought the government would've learned to respect and care for your veterans after all the shit you put them through.
That was the most journalist looking journalist I have ever seen
God bless America.
this dude has balls

Yeah the replacement MRAPs actually have shocks and seat cushions. But they aren't a huge improvement.
It's so sad to hear that the only thing he wanted is to be fit for work again
And after all that shit, he's willing to do it all again
dayum marines.

Kinda harsh exaggeration. Chiros aren't even meant to be a "cure" for anything. Mostly they're just there to relieve you from occasional back problems. You know, stiff joints and all that. Anything serious, you should go straith to a proper phycisian.
If some doctor actually told you that go see a chiro and that'll fix you up, that's some really bad doctor you was given.
Here's a good documentary to watch to help you understand how completely fucked being a vet today is.

It looks like VICE news just picks up hipsters from cafes
But she seems to be doing good as a journalist.

I had the same problem but it was the polar opposite in terms of private health care. I messed up my back awhile ago by falling out of a window onto it. Kept going to private doctors who just said "Eh I don't seem to see anything wrong here, take this and you should feel better". I was getting really pissed off until one day someone suggested I make an appointment with the NHS since they don't take any chances on stuff like this incase they get sued out their ass at a later date. Went there and within a half hour the person who saw me figured out something had slipped and referred me to a specialist to sort it out.

Maybe you're mistaking pounds with kilos, 100 pounds is around that area in kg isn't it?
