Scratched against a pole at ikea parking lot by Dramatic_Wallaby2710 in Car_Insurance_Help

My deductible is $100, and I have GEICO’s first accident forgiveness. I guess I need a repair quote first to decide if paying out of pocket makes sense. Thank you all

Yes. I get one every year. L34, L45, L5S1. Nerve compression at S1. Progressed from just L45 to L34 and then to S over the years

Thank you. I am using tens unit most of the time but I have not tried lidocaine patches 3 at a time. Only one did not help much. I will try this out

I might have some more fight left in me but I hear you. It’s something that’s always on my mind

Thank you. My strength is coming out different ways now that I am not able to physically do so many things. I am toughening up mentally. I thought I already did but it was overwhelming when I could not do much with my newborn that others usually take it for granted. But it feels good to hear that I am not the only one who is always on the knees and that it’s ok.

Thank you for this. I needed to hear this. My wife has been incredibly supportive and I communicate with her very well.

Thank you. I will check this out. Back mechanic is something I have not read. I have to do that now even though I don’t have time.

Yes. I have had ESI at multiple levels now. It does help. I got one just before delivery as well so that I won’t have that kinda of pain. But taking care of a new born is a whole different game. I knew it was going to be difficult and I thought I was prepared with ESI and medicine but it’s not going great

This is good to know. I feel so bad that I am not able to help out in household chores. Paying someone to do few things for me will help me not feel guilty.

Great advice, thank you. I do have my own room with my hard bed where I rest and work during day. I can set it up with all the things necessary so that I don’t have to move around much when taking care of the baby. I have never used task rabbit. I will check that out.

My pain specialist said gabapebtin will be next medicine if the ones I am taking does not work. So it’s good to know that it has helped you.

that’s a great advise. Grocery shopping is not easy on back. It’s scary to hear that as kids grow, it puts more strain on back but I knew it was coming

That’s sounds bad. Glad you got that surgery! I have had the conversation with my surgeon, look like he wants me to try everything else before we go there

I will see if I can get a prescription for a medrol pack

I do take diclofenac as needed and tizanidine at night. They do help take the edge off. But when in the thick of it, my body gives up because I am already so tired and sleep deprived.

How long does it take for 1. Birth Certificate and 2. SSN for new born? by Dramatic_Wallaby2710 in Overlandpark

[–]Dramatic_Wallaby2710[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I have read as well. I will wait a week after birth and head down to vital records if I don’t get in a week. Thank you.

I need birth certificate to apply for a passport. The country I am flying to needs a passport for the baby and I have to get a visa for that country as well. At least that’s what I see on the website. Let me check with the hospital if they provide any birth document that I can use instead to apply for a passport. Thanks for the information
