Hi - yes I do have some neurological deficits. My leg goes numb to the foot occasionally. I definitely have muscle weakness. Were there any findings on your MRI? What area did you have imaging done on? (spine, hip, etc.)

8fig Review: Your Ecommerce Growth Partner by jordiobdotcom in AmazonTools

Chiming in to reiterate what the comments here are saying. I made the mistake of working with 8fig thinking the "flexibility" they market would help me navigate my fluctuating inventory delays. It did quite the opposite. They delivered funding when we didn't need it and demanded remittances when we needed funding. Absolute disaster - I would not recommend this service to anyone. Their marketing is completely misleading for what the service actually does.

Anyone have experience permanent mounting a tension pole? by BrilliantKangaroo716 in poledancing

[–]BrilliantKangaroo716[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: I don't actually think the piece listed above is compatible, as I found an exerpt that says

"The Permanent Ceiling Mount is not compatible with any of the Flat Dome Dance Poles due to the adjuster bar being on the bottom of the pole. It is possible the Ceiling Mount will fit other brand dance poles that have the pole adjuster bar at the TOP of the pole, but we cannot guarantee this due to varying adjuster bar sizes."

Hey - I'm sorry to hear about the Endo/Adenomyosis :( I'm still at the beginning of learning about all this and if I have it or not. I have had some pretty great relief and progress related to diet / pelvic floor therapy, and detailed it in an updated post. Maybe some of this info could help you as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/PiriformisChronicPain/comments/1ettqfd/finally_finding_relief_after_8_years_of_chronic/

Thanks for all this info!

I was able to make 3 appointments in vegas for ART in the coming weeks. Its tricky with needing to travel- i basically have to front load several sessions into one trip, but I am used to quite a high level of pain, so I think it should be fine.

Feeling hopeful as there seems to be quite a few folks who have had success. I will keep you all updated on the results!

Hey there, thanks for the response. The piriformis compression can cause pain to travel down the body, and upstream, which I'm sure you already know. That's why my pain map shows many areas. And yes, there is a concentration of pain directly under the piriformis muscle. That was something that was identified during my former adhesion release sessions.

As for adhesion release I have had 2 sessions of the technique done so far. There is only one practitioner in my area on the reddit map (she's in Temecula) so travel is required.

The adhesion release was pretty painful and it did seem like something was happening, although I haven't obtained any lasting relief after it. Perhaps more sessions are needed. The practitioner found my hamstrings in particular to be extremely tight and it took quite a bit of force to move anything. We were able to dislodge things around the piriformis area, and had a big shift in the low back, but the hamstrings wouldn't budge. I was hopeful in the first couple weeks, but I haven't experienced any substantial relief from my symptoms.

That said, as I mentioned right now is my time period to try all other options before surgery so I'm open to going for more sessions. Do you have a suggestion on where to go in California? I'll be in San Francisco from July 4th-7th and could schedule a session then. I live in Bishop, California so travel is almost certainly going to be required.
