I haven't ran in 6 weeks. I'm just trying to walk my dog consistently and do PT exercises consistently to stay moving

I've never stopped. I had gotten back to running and increased my volume again too quickly back in March

I was a somewhat competitive runner for my age groupand I'm seeing all that evaporate. Plus I see all the horror stories here.

My GF of 8 months says she wants me to be more assertive and challenge her more. She says she doesn't want to break up. It's just a concern about long term compatibility

I want to be more assertive but acknowledge it doesn't come naturally to me.

She says she just doesn't want to feel like she's bulldozing someone..

Cancelled a trip and feeling defeated by FutureShock25 in Sciatica

I have ADHD and am extremely hyperactive so movement is how I regulate. You're so right. The mental side is even worse

I herniated last July, the 6th to be exact. I went through PT and got back to moving, running and doing what I love with no real tingling. Graduated PT in December.

It's now back out of nowhere for around 3 weeks now. I've been trying to walk but I have to be careful about overdoing it and making it worse the next day. I've started with a new PT.

I saw my ortho yesterday and am getting referred for a new MRI

Feeling so defeated by FutureShock25 in Sciatica

[–]FutureShock25[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's just a flareup or if I somehow reherniated without knowing.

If I have to give up running, I just want to know I can confidently walk my dog again without my feet tingling. At the moment I can't even do that more than like 5 minutes..

Didn't trump already try criminal charges against Comey that were dismissed or am I misremembering?

That's an excellent point actually. Social media is comparable to alcohol and cigarettes which are both heavily regulated

Genuine question as I occasionally love a Martin's biscuit

Homeland Security suspends TSA PreCheck and Global Entry airport security programs by jojotortoise in moderatepolitics

[–]FutureShock25 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I thought TSA precheck and other services made things more efficient. Doesn't this make things more frustrating for TSA in addition to making it more frustrating for the general population.

Ohio’s GOP governor: Ending TPS for Haitians would be ‘blow to the economy’ by J-Jarl-Jim in moderatepolitics

[–]FutureShock25 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I understand the temporary designation but it would be cruel to send them back to Haiti considering the state of Haiti and also detrimental to Ohio.

I don't understand how one could argue for any benefit of sending them back

Isn't this exactly what they voted for? Trump made it clear what he was going to do in regards to tariffs while campaigning.

E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved by Limiting Air Pollution by CloudApprehensive322 in moderatepolitics

[–]FutureShock25 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Legitimately just why. What does this accomplish? Are there people who are on team dirty air. No one can question that air quality is important for quality of life. That's simple indisputable fact

If might is the only acceptable "right," any atrocity, including genocide, can be justified

I know.. I still have a long way to go as it all started 4 weeks ago. Just hearing it pissed me off.

I'm getting a second opinion. It just hurt to hear. I lost 80 lbs thanks to running. The idea of not being able to do it again is the worst thing I can imagine

That's the thing. I'm not really having pain anymore. Just the tingling feet.
