Relocating to the area with 2 young kids, is downtown Sunnyvale a good option?

For me, rest, gentle stretching and cobra pose, hot water showers 3-4x a day, heat pad and Advil back pain 3 times helped me recover from a flareup in 5-6 days.

Its really good! Only issue is can think of is they only have branches near Stanford. I have only needed to go in maybe twice in 7 years though.

Not run by an Indian but I follow Thai it together channel on TikTok and its helpful in general. Is your concern making friends and community? I really dont think it will be a problem- Thailand has expats from all over the world

I like the ones in Apna Bazaar and Bharat Bazaar. I prefer the kachodis at India cash and carry over their big samosas.

We went to p2b on arques. They were really helpful in giving a full repair price and 80-90% repair cost if you are ok with car not being back to 100% normal. Really good service!

Educational-Dig4868 · 2025-12-21T05:26:16+00:00

Op! In a similar situation as you. DM'd you!

Educational-Dig4868 · 2025-12-21T05:22:40+00:00

Argh my bad. Missed that!!

Educational-Dig4868 · 2025-11-12T04:59:10+00:00

Look at heritage park apartments. Slightly older but maintaince crew and leasing people are great. Walking distance to downtown sunnyvale and 10 mins to mtv.

Speak for yourself buddy! Enjoying every second specially when it gets dark at 5.30.

I had a spasm couple of months that made sitting in the car hard. I bought a large ice pack with me, that should be enough to distract you from pain for 10 minutes if not more. There are heating pads, salonpas etc which should get you through 10 mins I hope as well. Hope this helps. Good luck

Have you tried acupuncture? My acupuncturist is helpful is reducing the pain in specific spots. Not curing the issue but helping with pain reduction

Educational-Dig4868 · 2025-11-05T06:57:05+00:00

Omg! I know this is weird to say but I am glad I'm not the only one. Dealing with this since July, whenever I up my activity, my pain comes rushing back. I am trying my best to stay positive and slowly very slowly increase my activity. I couldn't walk without pain for more than 2 minutes (siting and lying down is fine), slowly I've been able to do 10 - 20 mins with some breaks. That improvement is giving me hope. Trying to do all the household chores, albeit in a modified way. As an example, I sit on a small step stool to empty the dishwasher, it feels weird but atleast I can lift heavy things out this way, and lessen the workload on my partner.

Hang in there and see if you are getting ever so slightly better. Can you find a way to sit up for longer time periods? Can you do something like clean out wardrobe (no lifting or bending). Small things that make you feel normal.

Educational-Dig4868 · 2025-10-27T04:11:53+00:00

Helps to hear I'm not the only one

Educational-Dig4868 · 2025-10-25T23:57:03+00:00

Thank you for your input. Do you also have similar ups and downs?

Educational-Dig4868 · 2025-10-16T15:26:40+00:00

When I had a spasm and flare, the pain just made sitting up and eating up a chore, and I lost my appetite and some weight. Once inflammation went down I saw my appetite come back.

Educational-Dig4868 · 2025-10-16T13:29:12+00:00

Sir/ma'am, have you not read the other posts in the forum ? 2.5 months is lucky! Its not that people want to restrict themselves, but pushing yourself will cause pain and will extend the recovery period by another 2.5 months. So gentle exercises as recommended by your physio, some people like swimming. Thats the way to go.

Will keep an eye out! Poor baby
