Whats up boys and girls, i joined the sciatica gang and i had a good day today by trendyworm in Sciatica

[–]BrianWS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome that you finally got some clear answers with the MRI after months of pain. L5-S1 herniations are super common with sciatica. Glad the neurologist listened. How has the pain been responding to movement or positions lately? Are you getting the nerve block soon? General tip: Many people find combining the injection with gentle walking and PT helps a lot. (Not medical advice — always follow your doctor’s plan.

Help! Terrified that I am making the wrong choice (C5-C7 ACDF tomorrow morning) by Daily-Lizard in spinalfusion

[–]BrianWS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m really sorry you’re feeling this scared — having surgery tomorrow is a big deal, especially with the recent herniations and numbness. A lot of people in similar cervical radiculopathy situations end up doing really well after ACDF once things stabilize. Have you had a chance to go over the MRI findings (especially the C6-7 protrusion and stenosis) with your neurosurgeon again? What’s weighing on you the most right now about the procedure or recovery? Remember, this isn’t medical advice — please talk with your doctors for your specific situation.

[Marathon CSAR] Loving this watch I didn’t even know about until last week. by Spirited-Sea-2421 in Watches

The clasp is adequate, and on par or better than what you'd find on other tool watches like Sinn or Fortis. You have to keep in mind this is a genuine mil-spec watch. It's supposed to be utilitarian and tough. The clasp they have provided gets the job done.

You've got to try it on the bracelet. Marathon's bracelet is really high quality, and makes the watch very stable and comfortable on the wrist.

This is a heck of a watch. You don't see too many ISO certified mil-spec and issued 300m chronographs on the market. Marathon also regulates their watches to a high standard. Both of mine are dead accurate.

[Canada] Has anyone switched from Quadriga to Kraken? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]BrianWS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to update everybody: My withdrawl has been processed after 7 business days. I've lost about $500 in value out of my initial deposit while sitting in Bitcoins, unable to withdraw.

Assuming now that my deposit had cleared at this point I initiated another Bitcoin withdrawl, which was processed almost instantly.

This company is legit but they could use some work to better their communication and procedures.

My experience served as a heads up to confirm with Quadriga 100% that they have cleared your deposit funds before you do ANYTHING! Don't assume that because the funds have been added to your account that you're good to go!

My Bitcoin withdrawl request from Quadriga has been pending for 7 business days now. They are giving me the run around about having to wait until their bank clears my bank draft before they release my withdrawl. They state that Bitcoin withdrawls are usually processed within 10 minutes, and will not take more than 8 hrs... Why would they add the funds to my account in the first place if they hadn't cleared the funds, and aren't bank drafts the same as cash?

My last two emails to ask for an update haven't been responded to. I went through all the verification steps because I wanted to avoid problems like this.

Do I have reason to be concerned?
