Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
The CJ has been my daily driver, I just haven't driven very much
lately. I am just going to try and give it some TLC and talk to it nice... My arm/shoulder seems screwed unfortunately. I have tendonosis in the supraspinatus tendon with some other muscle damage and nerve root damage from 3 compressed vertabra/disk sets that turns the muscles to bad knots if I put any stress on them or move my head the wrong way. Even the insurance company's doctor is saying I will never likely use it properly again. Ah well, in for a different set of physio doctors now so I will see what they can do.

Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
Damn, I ache just reading about it. Something you might want to look
into is a form of shock treatment for the muscle/nerve problems. After radiation therapy my jaws muscles would knot up something fierce until my Dad had me try this little gizmo he had. In essence, it's one of those piezio-electric igniters you see on barbeque grills and gas appliances with a plunger and a big contact point on the end. Darned thing will throw a half to three quarter inch spark but if you set it right against the skin it just gives a little bump instead of sparking. Anyway, I could put that up to the side of my face, pop it 3-4 times and the muscles would completely relax. Dad used it on his back - same sort of damage you have but lower down and affected his legs. It didn't work miracles for him but it sure helped a lot. In fact, all of the 5 or 6 of those things I had have disappeared. My DIL has MS and she swears by it to relieve the aches and muscle spasms she suffers with that gawdawful nerve disease. If you would like to try one, I'll dig up the mail order address for you. I think it was $5-6 through one of the farm mailorder houses - postage cost as much as the gadget. A lot of the benefit may be just snake oil but it works on the same idea as the electro-shock therapy they use for chronic pain cases (but one helluva lot cheaper!). That might help the muscle/nerve pain but it won't do squat for the tendonitis. I have a full set of air tools that I bought when both forearms developed tendonitis so bad I could barely hold a screwdriver much less turn it. Took a couple of years to get to the point I could do much of anything without paying the price and 10 years later I still have to watch myself to keep it from coming back.

Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
Damn, I ache just reading about it. Something you might want to look
into is a form of shock treatment for the muscle/nerve problems. After radiation therapy my jaws muscles would knot up something fierce until my Dad had me try this little gizmo he had. In essence, it's one of those piezio-electric igniters you see on barbeque grills and gas appliances with a plunger and a big contact point on the end. Darned thing will throw a half to three quarter inch spark but if you set it right against the skin it just gives a little bump instead of sparking. Anyway, I could put that up to the side of my face, pop it 3-4 times and the muscles would completely relax. Dad used it on his back - same sort of damage you have but lower down and affected his legs. It didn't work miracles for him but it sure helped a lot. In fact, all of the 5 or 6 of those things I had have disappeared. My DIL has MS and she swears by it to relieve the aches and muscle spasms she suffers with that gawdawful nerve disease. If you would like to try one, I'll dig up the mail order address for you. I think it was $5-6 through one of the farm mailorder houses - postage cost as much as the gadget. A lot of the benefit may be just snake oil but it works on the same idea as the electro-shock therapy they use for chronic pain cases (but one helluva lot cheaper!). That might help the muscle/nerve pain but it won't do squat for the tendonitis. I have a full set of air tools that I bought when both forearms developed tendonitis so bad I could barely hold a screwdriver much less turn it. Took a couple of years to get to the point I could do much of anything without paying the price and 10 years later I still have to watch myself to keep it from coming back.
