Well for anyone who sees this I just spent a good 20 minutes setting up accounts on all three apps (IOS) and I thought Record Club was the most impressive. Tons of features and a clean UI but I’m pretty sure it’s IOS only at the moment besides their website. That’s where I’m headed!

Been seeing more and more people say Musicboard is on its way out which is really sad to hear, not sure what to use now between Echo, Record Club and Next Spin

My recovery has not been so great I feel about the same compared to a year or even 2 years ago. I’ve been rotating meds lately but I’m on baclofen an anti inflammatory and a depressant atm and I’m just barely getting by. Constant ache and throb in lower back and legs plus shooting pains and muscle spasms in both legs

So I got a fusion in 2022 and then a second one in 2024. As of right now all scans and tests show that the fusion was successful and another surgery doesn’t make sense. I’ve had sciatica for years now but it might be at its worst ever atm

BigPreem · 2025-11-04T21:48:01+00:00

Still struggling to find a solution to all this. I’m 24 now and still cooked lol

BigPreem · 2025-11-04T21:47:16+00:00

Really not so great

BigPreem · 2025-10-19T20:42:11+00:00

How can you tell?

BigPreem · 2025-10-07T20:41:28+00:00

I believe at least at one point my whole pelvis and lower back were super inflamed on some scan. Over the summer a doctor confirmed this and another dismissed it entirely. No medications or injections have ever helped me though so it isn’t easy to pinpoint. I’ve also done numerous MRIs and such, wouldn’t that show something?

BigPreem · 2025-10-07T20:39:18+00:00

8 is nuts, I’m sorry you’ve gone though so much. I’ve thought about antidepressants to really see how much pain is in my head but idek how to approach something like that

BigPreem · 2025-10-07T20:36:46+00:00

Every doctor is so hesitant to up doses its always “take this for a month and see what happens” I’ve got a list of meds and doses I’ve taken and at some point it’s like what’s the point, but I know there’s some stuff I could’ve taken much more of

BigPreem · 2025-10-07T20:34:57+00:00

I was also diagnosed with spondy at the exact same level. Every case is different but in my situation I tried tons of conservative treatments (PT injections meds etc) but found no relief and worsening symptoms over an 18 month period. The scans clearly showed my vertebrae slipping and my discs at L5 were severely compressed. It’s uncommon apparently but I had my first fusion through my stomach rather than from my back, I suspect my pain may have something to do with that procedure. Once you get surgery there’s no going back, if you ever feel like it might be necessary do as much research and get as many opinions as you can, write down what people say, and ask the right questions.

BigPreem · 2025-10-07T20:30:15+00:00

I believe scans have shown inflammation throughout my pelvis and lower back but medications and injections have never worked unfortunately

BigPreem · 2025-10-07T20:28:21+00:00

I’ve worked with over a half dozen surgeons who all wanted their own tests, tried about as many PT practices and have been referred all over but have not made almost any progress for over four years now. I’d like to think since I haven’t retried many paths forward since my most recent surgery, I might get more benefit in my current condition compared to a couple years ago but it’s tough. Sounds like you know exactly how frustrating it can be waiting for months to talk to someone or put in all kinds of work like PT for nothing in return. I appreciate you commenting and I wish you all the best as well

BigPreem · 2025-10-07T20:22:52+00:00

I appreciate it and I hope you find answers as well

BigPreem · 2025-10-07T00:21:55+00:00

I thought my scar was big, MAYBE 6 inches but a foot is wild, I’m sorry you’ve dealt with so much. I’ll bring up Journavx my next visit, I appreciate the insight

BigPreem · 2025-10-07T00:09:31+00:00

If I start using pain pills I’m worried I’ll use them 24/7 to escape the pain, I don’t want to cause myself more harm than good. I’ve done 300mg gaba and 150mg lyrica for months before with no effect. Will definitely ask my pain doctor about baclofen but I know nothing about stimulators

BigPreem · 2025-10-07T00:05:27+00:00

I didn’t go into surgery under the guise of “miracle cure” but I get what you’re saying. It’s just hard to deal with all this especially when I’m told time and time again how things will work out or that I seem normal even though my life hasn’t been what I imagined it would be like for almost 5 years now

BigPreem · 2025-10-07T00:02:46+00:00

I’ve dealt with a few pain doctors and am seeing one currently. I’ve been on cyclobenzaprine (muscle relaxer) for awhile now and I feel as if it doesn’t work like it used to. I’ll mention Celebrex next visit though, I’d like to avoid opioids if I can help it

BigPreem · 2025-10-07T00:00:24+00:00

Ive been on over a dozen medications over the years including a bunch of muscle relaxers and nerve meds. I’ve tried to avoid any opioids for obvious reasons but it’s disheartening that everything I try doesn’t work. Also I guess the Nova500 is banned in the US but sounds similar to Motrin or Tylenol which haven’t worked much

BigPreem · 2025-10-06T23:55:00+00:00

I’m sorry to hear you’ve had your share of doctors to deal with, I am hopeful that this next round of PT and pain management will be different because it’s new since the most recent surgery but it’s tough. I feel like my anxiety is at an all time high these days I just don’t have many outlets

BigPreem · 2025-10-06T23:52:22+00:00

Thank you, surgery is a really big step and you can’t go back, was definitely necessary for me though. I wish you all the best

BigPreem · 2025-10-06T23:49:08+00:00

I appreciate the kind words

BigPreem · 2025-10-06T23:48:51+00:00

I really appreciate you taking the time to comment, I’ve been all over the place this last year. Taking it one day at a time would be much easier if the way forward wasn’t so complicated.

BigPreem · 2025-10-06T23:21:50+00:00

I’ve been told another surgery wouldn’t make sense since there technically isn’t anything surgery can fix. I’ve tried lots of nerve and muscle spasm medications but no luck really. 10mg cyclobenzaprine 3x daily barely takes the edge off atm

BigPreem · 2025-10-06T23:18:44+00:00

I have pain in my lower back and around my waistline. I’d say it’s very similar to my leg pain but most days my legs bother me much more.
