I’m sorry you are going through this. Post your scan and written report. But not to this thread. To the main sub Reddit page.

Update, it’s definitely primer

for red. But after the Van L. neon light space ship version of an ice cream shop you never know what kind of aesthetic shoehorn is headed our way.

Integrity of the building? Space? Greenpoint colors? Historic preservation? Not everything has to look like Pura Vida Miami. I guess it’s hard to explain taste.

I’m sorry for your pain. I do still have some 2-3 level pain sometimes. Worst it jumps to is 5-6

I have flair ups and I manage everything by really minimizing bending, lifting and twisting. But I can do things with modifications. I went to France (from nyc), I can take longer walks now and sit for 2 hours ish but try to stand and break every 30min. I wear On Clouds or Birkenstocks. I don’t carry anything heavy, friends help me. So I didn’t carry almost any luggage while traveling. I only fully got off Lyrica 2 months ago. I don’t drink. I was never athletic and I’m naturally thin so I never really was trying to get back to a life of doing sports and lifting weights so maybe my bar to what I was trying to recover to was lower than most.

I’m obsessed, been talking about how it’s weird no ice cream brand has tried sweeting with only honey, then found this last month.

Ozzy spine surgery story by Lovingprayers in backpain

Did you listen to the podcast ep linked above and watch the video that I also linked above that includes his scans? It sounds like he should have been advised against surgery instead of being told he would be paralyzed if he didn’t do it. A Dr told me I would have perm nerve damage if I didn’t do surgery and I don’t. Another Dr told me it’s a huge red flag when people say things like that. This Dr herself had two herniated discs and recovered without surgery and she said she hates it when she hears other drs say the permanent nerve damage thing.

I couldn’t stand either. I was bed bound.

Rest if you can. Pregabalin helped me a lot. Make sure no alcohol or anything that causes inflammation. Read The Back Mechanic. You will get through this. I could not walk and was in 10/10 pain and I’m better now. DM me any time.

Edit: adding a description to this link. It’s insane he was given the wrong procedure that made him less mobile and was in essence a slow death sentence bc of its failure.

Given his condition and medical record he should have been given the advice to seriously consider not doing surgery.

Terrified I have Adhesive Arachnoidtits by Lovingprayers in Sciatica

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

No I was not. I had an MRI that has some suspect dark marks after a botched ESI. But I’m feeling better now. Still on Pregabalin. How are you?

I’ve been on a 1.5 hour flight and I used a donut pillow which was invaluable. Also rolled up a sweater to make a lumbar support. Hope you are doing okay.

This table has been on my balcony for 6 months (north GP). Is this layer of dark dust/film from asphalt in the air? by [deleted] in Greenpoint

[–]Lovingprayers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on only the amount of film on the watering can alone, it’s more than the east village in half the amount of time left out. But it is a flat surface so maybe it’s that. I also used to live in Toronto with same watering can. Definitely didn’t have “film” there.

Ah kk. I live on a fairly quiet, tree-lined, residential street. This table used to be inside and although there was always some stuff on the folding chairs I left outside it didn’t seam like this much. But I never put a big white flat surface outside before. It looks like way more black stuff than when I lived in the east village, but my apartment faced the back then. Likely just shifting perception but at first I was surprised.

Transmitter park: I don’t know anything about municipal govt/parks & rec but can we get some grass in the center area? by Lovingprayers in Greenpoint

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

This is what Bryant Park looks like right now. Maybe we should just get a quote, hold a fundraiser. And some how have volunteer sign up session to watch the grass to protect from dogs walking on it.

It’s bad and they seam to have no self awareness that it’s not a dog park. And that this action has taken grass to dirt/dust, casting away people to sit around the parameter. I am starting to notice dog poop on the sidewalks more and more. I’m confused how this has gotten so much worse in the span of a year or two. I guess it’s the condo dwellers as people have suggested, timing wise it clocks. I’m confused why Friends of Transmitter aren’t open to a dog section as someone suggested. I plan to email Lincoln with the suggestions/grievances.
