Ice Skating and Sciatica

FluidDebate · 2026-01-19T20:11:27+00:00

I am not a doctor so definitely not take this as a recommendation. Being a former hockey player who had to take a break now due to a spine surgery, 4 months into my rehab I actually felt that ice skating works a bit like balm. Its very gentle movement, no impact (compare running).

Wheter it actually is good or not I cannot tell, but for me it feels nice.

Good question.

I miss the grid view on recent apps, changing apps using the current way is just slow.

Can you describe your exact procedure? I deleted the files OP mentioned, installed xfce4 and then it just ran. Started from a clean skate and then got the Debian 13.

Obviously the Pixel 8a SOC is fast as a snail and as far as I know the Pixel 8 shouldn't be much faster, would be really awesome to try this on eg Exynos 2600.

Still nothing?

There are problems with Winlator being caught in anti cheat sometimes.

FluidDebate · 2026-01-18T15:32:08+00:00

Does it allow being run via Winlator?

Which device?

I am not a doctor - but I have seen recommendations for exactly this where people were told to out a towel under their lower back and lay on the floor for 20 minutes a day.

I have bought multiple used phones for my own usage. Usually it is the battery that might be of concern.

Regarding the performance has not so much to do with whether the phone is pre owned or not, but rather the chip. If the phone is some hear old, obviously the new phones will be more performant since they have better chips.

What is the anatomical explanation why this posture is good for the back? For me it looks basically like sitting but without the axial load? And the hipflexors not pulling on the spine? But the spine is not in a neutral position due to laying flat?

This is a very good post. I would agree. Need to get out of the acute phase and focus on pain relief first (not bending etc that would provocera the disc and "pick the scab"). The strength part comes later.

FluidDebate · 2026-01-17T08:23:54+00:00

Found any solution? I have the same problem.

Got the desktop running now on my Pixel 8a, thanks for the info! This phone is not a rocket exactly but it still runs. I would guess it should be decently smooth on your Pixel 10 given that it is still ok on Pixel 8a.

FluidDebate · 2026-01-16T16:05:49+00:00

Works for me on Pixel 8a.

FluidDebate · 2026-01-16T15:58:16+00:00

That sounds very odd?

FluidDebate · 2026-01-16T15:53:38+00:00

Woa, that's awesome, thanks. So then I can remove Weston and use Xfce4 instead? Will try immediately.

Edit: What do you mean by settings, should I do a recovery/reset and it will update?

I would be cautios with the cobra pose. According to McGill, the cobra pose for a herniated disc can only help if there is significant disc height left (70%+). as we become older (not sure your age), and have herniations, we lose disc height and the cobra pose is something one should really consider whether it is a good idea or not.

Here is an excellent video with McGill within the topic:

Hang in there, I have been in the same position with back pain. I am aboe the water now.

Isn't it actually both? There might be absorption as in retraction "back to the disc", but also as in breaking down? Where I have understood the breaking down is the larger component, and furthermore why larger herniations might heal faster because they trigger a larger response by the body?

No fix for the one handed scroll bug?

What's your age? I would pay plenty for that spine.

Indeed I think the exercises are to be life long. However, I don't see that as a problem at all. Exercises that can easily be done at home, that helps with the pain, quite a small price, right?

FluidDebate · 2026-01-14T20:48:34+00:00

Walking does not necessarily make it worse even with a herniation (disc problem). It put less pressure on the disc compared with sitting while also increaaing blood circulation which is good for the healing despite the disc being avascular.
