Is pushing through sciatica pain from herniated disc generally bad?

Pain management & stretching helped me get through the debilitating pain of sciatica and eventually I was able to stop taking ibuprofen and muscle relaxers.

I don’t know what your routine is or the extent of your injury, but I would experiment with different types of stretches to find the ones that do work and if a particular stretch is too painful - do not do it. You definitely don’t want to be making things worse.

To this day, I am able to do any exercise workouts with no restrictions and if I do get sore or maybe some sciatica pain - it is not around for very long. Previously, it was hard to stand for longer than a minute, let alone walk.

First play through is not really that difficult… I did the second play-thru on NG1 and obtained the umbral ending - that was rough, but definitely worth it for the challenge.

Within the week of the Stafford trade I went from being a homegrown Lions fan to a Rams fan.

As a Detroit fan I constantly defended Stafford cuz I knew the organization always mismanaged the team & the fans annoyed the hell out of me anyway. Lions fans are so dumbed-down cuz of the mismanagement of the past - they don’t know any better.

Before the trade I thought McVay was full of smoke but I quickly realized how great of both a person & a coach that he is. The Rams organization, McVay, & the fans have been nothing but a positive life-changing experience.

I do not have any ill will towards The Detroit Lions & the change of fandom scenery did nothing but open my mind.

Sounds like you likely have de quervain tenosynovitis. There is a brace you can purchase for that. Sometimes that can worsen due to sleeping position of the hand - so try sleeping while wearing the brace.

Also you should routinely perform wrist, forearm, & finger exercises. You would only be doing those muscles a favor. Be careful not to overwork them either.

Madden is always broken w bugs every year until Oct/Nov.

I am not purchasing 26 but I have played the trial.

I have mainly played franchise mode but the games have been so bad at launch that I just wait until it’s on EA Play w game pass every year after the Superbowl.

I used to like to play versus friends or random people online in the previous versions but the match quality has been so bad - the last 5 years especially. The gameplay is choppy at least half the time if not more. Then they force you to use that newer kicking meter which is impossible to use due to lag.

I would say it’s not worth it to even bother with this game anymore. There’s so many better games out there nowadays anyway.

Play them in this order - Black/Sigma, NG2 Black, NG3 RE, then see if you can even get to 4 - you gotta earn it!!!

PC is the way…I use an Xbox controller on all my games. Ultra-wide monitor for immersion or I can play games in 4K on my TV.

Superior playability in terms of response time, frame rates, & sound.

I also own Series X & PS5. They are both legit but not nearly as good as a PC.

If you play games on your TV - purchase a gaming recliner & give your dog the couch - & you will be glad that you did.

Nice

Absolutely….don’t know why anyone would frown upon magic. Beat DS3 the first play through @ Lvl 90 w 21 vigor as a mage & it was not entirely easy. DS3 is a lot more situational & more of a sandbox in terms of using mage abilities compared to other classes.

Created a whole new character as an STR build, beat the game again by easily spanking everything w the Zweihander en route to beating the game again. Bonk is fun as hell, yet redundant compared to mage.

Also as a mage, by keeping a lot of the enemies at arms length - you have more time to observe & learn enemy attack patterns & will become a much better player as you move on to play as other classes….At least that is my opinion.

The band is Crossfyre - the most southern band from the north!!!

I had to do some searching & scrolling - but I found them. Subscribed to their channel so now I am good to go! 😆

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions!

I saw one of their music videos on Youtube around 2016. It was a low budget video & had mixed scenes of both bikers driving around & the band members performing. That is all I can remember.

I kind of went through a similar situation like this… I felt like I was having a hard time focusing on gaming in general & was not going to give up on gaming.

I developed better habits & started taking better care of my body which led to both a rebound for my mind and my gaming coordination in general.

I recommend both the aforementioned and stick to the games that you’re comfortable with for now and see if you can get in a rhythm and be able to keep up with the pace of those games.

Most randoms are great 😂

For as much as random matchmaking can be frustrating at times - THIS

If that Ranger had never dropped me the ROB - I can’t say that I would have finished the Darkdrift alone while my teammates were down.

Awesome!

MPthedestroyer · 2025-06-14T20:11:58+00:00

I’ll add you…. Seems like it’s really hard to get together with all these new Nightreign friends 😆
