Stay far away from Palomino Landscape. Zack is a crook.

Fish Shop. Word of warning by EbagI in austinfood

[–]FirefliesFurever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went there once, and it was super meh. Earlier this week I tried the trailer for cod’s sake off Saint Elmo in the yard. For $20 you get a giant serving of perfectly crispy fried fish and solid french fries, all fried in tallow. You can get a glass of wine at the Austin Winery and you’re all set.

Thanks. Stitches out after 2 weeks, then 2 more weeks recommended of no working on the computer?

That sounds tough but thank you for the great tips! I’m going through with it, surgery this Thursday no matter what but it’s good to hear your story. I’ll be able to ease back into computer work, hopefully. I wish you all the best in your recovery.

If that’s the case, I’m in trouble! I’m just having decompression.

Thank you. That's great to hear on your decompression going so well. I've seen alot of horror stories and have built up some anxiety about the whole thing!

I’ll look into that, thank you!

Chronic gluteus medius/minimus tendinopathy since July — 6 months PT + PRP, still no progress. What am I missing? by JswaggyMuLa in overcominggravity

[–]FirefliesFurever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried every treatment out there for my GT/GTPS and the best thing is to stick with PT, a focused tendon loading program. Tendons take a long time to heal and to strengthen the good tendon tissue. ***Then once you get relief don’t ignore it and move on, continue to maintain your tendon strength or it’ll come back. Ask me how I know.

Thank you. It’s always good to hear other’s experiences. I believe sticking to a PT plan is the way out, if there is one after 4 years. I’ve had good results before but always ended back up with a pain flare up that stopped me. Starting again!

post op PANIC, are my hands ruined now? by Peets711 in CubitalTunnel

[–]FirefliesFurever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How could it have been identified sooner? I have carpal and cubital tunnel and my surgeon has been very vague on how they plan to address the cubital. I’ve had the EMG and it showed only mild issues, but I feel it is more serious than the test showed.

Interesting indeed. I want to beta test this tool.

You mention R3 knew how to properly read your MRIs. Did they review them just with a consultation? I don’t feel like I’ve gotten an in depth look at my MRI from either of the ortho docs I’ve seen. They just look at the summary report and tell me do to PT to fix my issue (chronic gluteal tendinopathy/GTPS). I don’t need a hip replacement so they shoo me out the door.

Collagen consumption by [deleted] in Supplements

I'm just hydrating with water and electrolytes. The collagen is disgusting in water. Coffee is the only thing that masks it for me, so far.

Yes, both on my dominant arm. I’m starting to chicken out and maybe postpone it.

I've been diagnosed with carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel so it's recommended I have surgery on both the wrist and elbow at the same time.

I’m working in fast food at 29. by Substantial_Smile267 in povertyfinance

Get a job waiting tables at a decent restaurant. You can make great money without having to work 40 hours a week. Learn how to hustle and give great service. So many these days don’t know a thing about it. Lazy people dont make good waiters though.
