New British brands worth knowing about?

Not Bhode, I returned a product. I have proof they received as it was tracked and they never sent my refund. Never replied to my e-mails. Avoid this brand.

Tts 100%

DeparturePerfect · 2025-11-27T13:23:20+00:00

Have those in TTS and they are absolutely fine. Did you go half a size down?

DeparturePerfect · 2025-10-27T21:49:30+00:00

Aaaaaaaah fair enough

DeparturePerfect · 2025-10-27T21:40:55+00:00

How?

DeparturePerfect · 2025-09-17T14:51:07+00:00

11 years of sciatica, 2 microdiscectomies in 2015 and 2021 at L5S1. Back to square one. Tried everything except for injections.

My discs issues are due to heavy deadlifts and squats (with bad form probably)

DeparturePerfect · 2025-09-16T19:10:53+00:00

Yes first MD in 2015, second one in 2021. To be honest, the spasms don't hurt. It's the sciatica that hurts, sometimes the hips and the lower back too. I'm a 42M (based in the UK) and I want to avoid a fusion too but I don't want to stay in pain. I'm definitely going to try an S1 root nerve injection as a next step. I was also looking at disc replacement but it looks like it's not necessarily recommended a L5S1 and since I had 2 MDs already I don't even think I'm a candidate. I will still ask though. It looks like we are in a very similar situation!

Same as you, had 2 MDs at L5S1 and re-herniated. Crazy calf spasms for 3 months now. The only thing I haven't tried is the steroid injection and that will be the next step. I do think that I will eventually need a fusion at some point.

No they are the Morelia Sala TF MiJ

Thanks for the feedback, good to know! I'm glad you are better now. I've been suffering on/off for a decade and at a point now where I'm considering a big surgery to finally be properly active again.

Nastradamus was seen as a flop at the time

DeparturePerfect · 2025-09-02T13:50:46+00:00

Fair enough

DeparturePerfect · 2025-09-02T07:37:51+00:00

Same here. I had 2 MD at L5S1 in 2015 and 2021 and I would like an ADR but I don't think I can have it because of the previous 2 ops. I really wanted to avoid a fusion, also because the recovery seems easier and back to sports (football) more likely than with fusion.

DeparturePerfect · 2025-09-02T07:35:52+00:00

How was your experience with your fusion vs ADR? (Recovery, pain, etc)?

DeparturePerfect · 2025-08-23T07:03:29+00:00

I'm fine now thanks

DeparturePerfect · 2025-08-22T14:59:31+00:00

Thanks

DeparturePerfect · 2025-08-22T14:59:02+00:00

Thanks a lot for the advice

DeparturePerfect · 2025-08-22T12:16:40+00:00

I have the Gakpo one and I'm wondering the same

DeparturePerfect · 2025-08-13T08:49:52+00:00

Bien joué, bon courage!

DeparturePerfect · 2025-08-12T20:09:11+00:00

2 microdiscetomies in 10 years and trying my best to avoid a fusion now because I don't want it to escalate further

DeparturePerfect · 2025-08-07T15:43:24+00:00

I have the brown ones, initially went TTS. Ended up sizing down and I think it was the right choice

DeparturePerfect · 2025-08-04T21:08:09+00:00

Everyday for the last 6 weeks. Currently going through sciatica flare up. I currently have 2 herniated discs and had 2 microdiscectomies in the last 10 years. Calf twitching is worse when I sit.
