boarditup Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 http://m.thegardenisland.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/florida-pill-mill-owner-family-arrested/article_b79db098-514b-11e1-8e1d-001871e3ce6c.html He was a former Wakeboarding champion and 3-event skier - and a 2010 inductee into the Waterski Hall of Fame. He came to wakeboarding through trick skiing. I've met him before and he seemed like a decent, nice guy. He really made some bad choices that he will suffer the consequences from.

Baller ForrestGump Posted February 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted February 8, 2012 That article is a bit misleading. It says that the Shapiro's pain management practice was responsible for more opioid prescriptions than the entire state of California. In reality, it was Dr. Jumanni who was responsible. He worked at 3 different pain management clinics, one of which was the Shapiro's. The DEA actually went undercover at one of the other clinics, which is what they intially busted him for. Later, they went after the Shapiro's. I believe law enforcement arrested the owners of the other 2 clinics, also. Just want the information to be a little more correct.

Baller eleeski Posted February 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted February 8, 2012 Weren't opioids created to manage pain? As an arthritis sufferer, I'm lucky that my effective medicines are Alleve and alcohol - legal and accepted by society (and WADA approved). I have reactions to ibuprophen, Tylenol is ineffective and Celebrex is both ineffective and scary. It bothers me that our society has taboos against effective medicines. Especially when those taboos increase suffering. Pain management clinics can be extremely valueable rescources. I know nothing about Darrin or his clinic. Hang him if he's a filthy pusher. But if he is legitimately treating the pain and suffering of our aging population, then I wish him well. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted February 8, 2012 Administrators Share Posted February 8, 2012 I saw this and did not post it for 2 reasons: 1) Darin is really a wakeboarder and not a skier 2) There is just nothing positive about it Comment if you must but I am moving this to the "Members Only" section.

Baller ForrestGump Posted February 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm with you, Eric. I'm allergic to ibuprofen and all other nsaids including aspiran. I suffer from tendonitis, so my pain management doctor prescribes tramadol. I don't use it all the time, but when needed, it's invaluable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted February 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted February 8, 2012 Huge abuse and addiction potential, high street value. As such, must be managed very carefully. Speculation not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted February 9, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted February 9, 2012 Well, it does segue into a legitimate topic, to wit, what do we aging slalom skiers use to manage pain. Tylonal etc., is a given. Anything else? I have had cortisone in both shoulders, both elbows, and in my back. I regularly go to the chiropractor. I do a ton of core work. And I still hurt. I have a prescription for hydrocodone and it works great, but the second day after I have taken it, I can't think straight. So I avoid it until I am desperate. Other solutions?

Baller ForrestGump Posted February 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted February 9, 2012 John, I hate hydrocodone. I itch and can't sleep. Which is why my doctor prescribes me the Tramadol. None of those codeine type side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted February 9, 2012 Supporting Member Share Posted February 9, 2012 I don't drink much alcohol, but I came pretty close to buying a T-shirt at The Iron Cactus in Austin, TX that read "Life is too short for cheap tequila." If you find yourself in Austin, I highly recommend stopping there for a Marguerita (which I'm not sure I know how to spell). Only problem: All Margueritas back in the northeast taste like hell for about 2 months until I begin to forget the awesomeness of The Iron Cactus.

Baller jipster43 Posted February 10, 2012 Baller Share Posted February 10, 2012 I used to be addicted to ibuprofen, but I've made a concerted effort to stretch and warm up properly before and after exercise and now I'm only using pain relief for the occasional headache. I do yoga at least two times a week along with an hour long stretching regime another couple of times a week. I've been free of what I thought was chronic pain for the past three or four months.... Knock on wood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted February 10, 2012 Baller Share Posted February 10, 2012 I cannot stress enough the value of stretching not just before but "AFTER" you ski. Really makes a difference for skiing the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
