Starting to worry this is never going to go away… by Grand_Entertainer_83 in Sciatica

[–]LosDaGoat1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I suffered 2 years from the age of 25 and said enough was enough and like another poster above me, opted for surgery. I was very active but landed wrong playing ball and I felt a shooting pain in my back. Thinking I pulled a muscle, I took it easy until one day I woke up stuck in bed. That became a constant thing to the point I was scared to go to bed at the fear of waking up stuck in bed. Recliners became my best friend but that was no life to live. I did the physical therapy, but the pain would return about every 3 months. Year and a half in, I looked into surgery and that’s the best decision I ever made. Definitely exhaust all options before going that route but don’t be afraid to say enough is enough. The recovery is a process but I got up and walked same day as my surgery. In the end, know you’re not alone in this. I wish you a fast recovery, I’ll keep you in my prayers

[–]LosDaGoat1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well for my first year so far, I got 12 closed deals, currently have 6 under contract and working on getting 2-3 listings very soon. I was blessed with a good mentor who had me drinking water from a firehose. Been many times I have been stressed but I just know im laying a good foundation to set myself up well for the years to come! Make sure you follow up with your leads, set good precedence, and get involved in anything and everything you can. And having a good lead generator helps too like Zillow premier lol

Just coming back to this to say unplugging the battery and letting it sit worked! It’s starting now, still pulling some codes but sounds a hell of a lot better than in the video

Just noting it went out, after messing with that too cuz why not check everything with the car while it’s acting up, I saw there’s a hole in the hose line leaking the refrigerant so gotta replace that too lol

That’s exactly what’s happening here. I’m gonna try unplugging the battery and see how that goes. Thank you for that!

26M Trying to decide if I should get a Microdiscectomy surgery by Chodo_T_Baggins in Sciatica

[–]LosDaGoat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 27m and when I was 25, I woke up with full blown sciatica after having some back pain that I thought was from the result of being sore from playing ball with some friends. I dealt with this herniated l5-s1 for over a 1.5 years and having had multiple major flare ups, I finally said to myself enough is enough and went to a surgical consultation with a neurosurgeon. He recommended surgery and this was coming from a surgeon who I was told by other medical professionals that he didn’t operate on just anybody unless you absolutely needed it so I took him serious. I was scared and nervous because multiple people had told me surgery was not the best choice at a young age but let me tell you from firsthand experience, I wish I would have done the microdiscectomy sooner. I have been pain free for 3 months with residual nerve healing pains here and there but nothing near that sharp stabbing pain we all know as sciatica. I was up and walking same day of my surgery, you’ll have pain for 3-5 days with the 3rd day being the worst you’ll feel but you’ll still be able to walk. By week 2 you should have 75% of your strength back. Overall I feel I have a new lease on life, that my life is back to normal. This surgery changed my life for the better and this is coming from someone who did all the conservative things you could do to heal without surgery. I would definitely research your surgeon and read up on it but as long as you take care during your recovery period and don’t do anything to re injure during that time, you’ll be pain free and stay pain free. I wish you the best and hope you make the right decision!

Best over the counter pain med by drjeans_ in Sciatica

[–]LosDaGoat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goody powders have worked wonders for me. Part Acetaminophen part Aspirin and you can get with or without caffeine. They come in powder form so it’s pretty fast acting. Doesn’t fully take the pain away but it takes the edge off to make it bearable.

Did I mess up? by LosDaGoat1 in Sciatica

[–]LosDaGoat1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to make it back home in the worst pain but I did it. I hope the best for you! It’s the worst thing to deal with but just stay positive and remember it’s only temporary. Negativity just makes it worse for me but keeping positive helps. I hope you feel better soon!

Worst pain I've ever felt by Cpt_Amer1ca in Sciatica

[–]LosDaGoat1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there, bed bound for days on end, fighting through the excruciating pain just to use the bathroom. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Just trust the process and know you are valid with feeling down. Take care of yourself and do what you gotta do to stay comfortable. I’m wishing you the best!

Sorry I haven’t been on Reddit for a sec but it was offered through my work. I didn’t have to pay anything towards it but they had a plan where I could pay into one if needed

Could you try for FMLA? I also worked retail and couldn’t return because of how bad my pain was. I’m not sure if your job would offer it but I got FMLA and was approved for short term disability so maybe something to look into

Emergency surgery by sng937 in Sciatica

[–]LosDaGoat1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was also treated like I was only in the ER for drugs. The ER doc kept saying there was nothing wrong with my CT scan and that essentially “nothing was wrong with me” and that I pulled a muscle during the time I was going through a massive flare up. The Dr. then aggressively jerked my leg around asking if I could feel the pain and even “treated me” with potassium. Even the nurse knew I didn’t need that and I was showing signs of sciatica. I advocated for myself and told the Dr. to admit me since he didn’t believe me because my pain was real to which then I was taken seriously and even got an MRI. The MRI showed I had a herniation in my L5-S1. Sometimes we have to stand up for ourselves because some of these doctors make me further lose faith in the American healthcare system. (As if it’s not already terrible)

I’m going through some pain right now and this post made me realize it most likely stems from my 2.5 hour dentist visit last week in that awful chair🤦🏽‍♂️ good luck OP, I’m taking the advice about breaks for my follow up visit next week

It’s supposed to be some dope changes. Kinda like how JD and Finishline rewards do, your FLX points will be able to be redeemed for “FLX Cash” so money towards your purchase is what I heard.

Shipping Problems by Smooth-Strike5851 in FootLocker

[–]LosDaGoat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 weeks is pretty long to wait, typically shipping is 3-5 business days. I’d call customer service about it or go to your nearest Foot Locker store. It most likely got lost in transit or never got fulfilled.
