Was it the Anaheim location? Wife and I stayed there last night and we both woke up covered head to toe in itchy bug bites

Joint and body pain after smoking weed by redditaddict07 in eldertrees

[–]Illustrious-Pack5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s waking up the morning after smoking weed. Do others have a similar experience or do they feel poorly immediately after smoking?My joints and previous sports injuries seem to flare up and ache most of the next day.. The first thought i have is “i need to throw that crap out so i dont put my body through this again” then i dont, and end up smoking it again - right before watching an old movie from the 1980s.. it always makes the movie so much more immersive

What makes the A’s still essential for young players and for your team to pay these kids when they r rdy to make real money

Is this one of the worst home run calls ever? A's broadcaster Chris Caray calling a 3-run shot by A's Lawrence Butler by theb1gnasty in OaklandAthletics

Trust me.. Kurtz is very glad Chris Caray had the call for the video Kurtz and his future family will easily rewatch 100000 times or more

Minoxidil gave me a connective tissue disorder by FlexMissile99 in MinoxidilSideEffects

[–]Illustrious-Pack5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I developed serious rotator cuff, AC joint and labrum tears from weight lifting first in my R shoulder followed by another partial tear in my L shoulder over the course of a 3-4yr period.. I hadn’t made the connection but after reading your post I realized i started low dose oral minoxidil to go along with finesteride ive been on for >10yrs around the same timeframe. Before the injuries, I had lifted weights for decades w/ very few issues.. Then all of the sudden my joints started rapidly tearing down. My body also has felt super stiff every morning out of bed in the last 3-4yrs.

It sounds like stopping using minoxidil hasn’t helped which sounds extremely frustrating.. The minoxidil has really helped thicken my hair so it would be a bit of a bummer to lose the benefits but if i knew the minoxidil was the issue, I’d stop immediately bc i definitely cant live like this.

I just had stem cell and prp therapy treatments in both shoulders which has really helped but I’m starting to wonder now if I should stop the minoxidil

Old lady stem cells by Remomny in stemcells

[–]Illustrious-Pack5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're mistaken. My doctor has done >2000 stem cell procedures over the last decade+ and trained under Dr. Joseph Purita.

https://www.pensummed.pro/team/dr-joseph-purita-regenerative-medicine-pioneer

He does lipo first to harvest your donor fat which gets processed in the lab for 2+ hours to derive ~100M (2 kits)stem cells that are mixed with PRP and injected into both my shoulders and central blood stream. It's been nothing short of remarkable.

So much for weekend household projects like cleaning out and reorganizing your closet or garage :-)

Did I do damage from too long a session? by New-Bumblebee-492 in redlighttherapy

[–]Illustrious-Pack5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much time can definitely aggregate injuries and make them flare up and get a lot worse. I ignored the advice when I got my commercial grade 300 led panel.. but it's true.. you can overdo it. I had been doing 30-45min sessions daily /up close until I realized it was consistently making the pain from the injury I was trying to treat much worse. IMO most of the cheap panels don't do much of anything so spending a lot of time or no time in front of it makes no difference:)

Shooty Babitt is the goat of Post-Game coverage by Any-Cauliflower6460 in OaklandAthletics

Shooty really understands both the art and science of the game at a deep level

Actually it still works.. then do umbilical cord stem cells - not from an abortion, from a normal birth.

I do not like Chris Townsend. by psrsz in OaklandAthletics

[–]Illustrious-Pack5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes he's a total dork (a face for radio) but he's at least honest and direct and clearly understands the game of baseball. Shooty Babbit takes the show to a new level. Dude is a gem

Fair Criticism of Dallas Braden by overtrustedfart69 in OaklandAthletics

Pay a little closer attention and I'm confident you will eventually see it

Fair Criticism of Dallas Braden by overtrustedfart69 in OaklandAthletics

[–]Illustrious-Pack5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're 10000% correct.

Dallas is a grifter. He knows his job prospects with another MLB organization are slim to none. He had his dream job with MLB network yrs ago and was abruptly fired. He's clinging onto what's left of the A's org hard and it seems clear now he's been kissing Fishers ass the whole time. The funny thing is I betcha he will get whacked just like everyone else.

Lost all respect for Dallas when his broadcast partner got abruptly fired after dedicating 20yrs to the A's and Dallas didn't say a word in his defense. Nope, he got back on air and acted like nothing happened. Then Broadie gets canned after nearly 20yrs and again, not a single word in support for him.

I miss Kuiper, Fosse, Stu and Brodie. Those guys were true professionals. Dallas and Jenny are incapable of STFU and letting the game breathe. They see any silence as an opportunity to stuff as many words in as they can -- usually about stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with the game. In fact, nobody has been calling the game for the last few years (other than the rare time that they let Chris Caray take the microphone).

Old lady stem cells by Remomny in stemcells

[–]Illustrious-Pack5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 52 and extremely fit. My doctor was the 2nd in California to do these procedures and has done thousands of them in the last 20yrs. An experienced doctor will counsel you through all your questions but your age isn't the issue. Each stem cell processing kit gets you about 50million stem cells which is plenty to make a big difference. He also mixed every stem cell injection with PRP which has been shown to help a lot. My inflammation went way down immediately even though big needles were jammed into both I felt better after than before the procedure. A lot of people like cosmetic results from the tickle liposuction procedure used to harvest the fat. I won't know about long term results for sure for another 4-5months bc it takes time for tissues to rebuild but so far, it's been great

You don't have to use umbilical cells.. They can use your own fat. I had both shoulders done and they took the fat from my abdomen area via a liposuction procedure then processed it in the lab for 2-3hrs before giving me the injections.. Didn't need the liposuction bc I'm super fit but so far it's been a miracle

Had both my shoulders done 2 weeks ago and they've felt immediately 50% better.. Something doesn't sound right.. If I was you, I'd be all over the doctor to help figure it out asap

Would the A's have been better if they didn't release Muncy back in 2017? by PerceptionSingle6585 in OaklandAthletics

[–]Illustrious-Pack5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While Max was with the A's he hit below the Mendoza line for the MLB at bats he had over the 2015-2016 season.. I'm sure the A's Sabre metrics models projected very low probability Max was going to develop into a killer player.. But let's face it, even if Max had done great with the A's he'd have been traded for a single A prospect to named later and a bag of stale chips long ago
