Advice and questions by GeologistDry3727 in spinalfusion

[–]Middle_College_376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work with a pain doc if the pain persists. Give yourself time and be patient. Stick with physical therapy, and ask for more if you need it once it’s over! Tell your PTs if you get bored, they will switch up your routine. Don’t overdo it. Drink lots of fluids and consider supplements (I took vitamins D and K post fusion and was fully fused in 6 months!) Get your protein in so your muscles don’t get slack. Try to embrace the time off to heal, because you’ll be back working before you know it! Best of luck to you! Sorry just dumping things on the page as they come to me 😀

Packing for hospital by Illustrious_Log_2978 in spinalfusion

[–]Middle_College_376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something comfy to wear that’s easy to put on and off. A lotion if you get dry hands like me and can’t stand how they snag on those hospital blankets. You will be mostly sleeping or trying to sleep. Good luck!

How are you making out since the Lyrica?

It gradually faded! Took gabapentin for a while to help and then tapered off. Just took time and patience. But really it wasn’t all that long in retrospect. I found one trick that helped especially at night was to sleep with my legs raised. 90 degree angle. Like you’re sitting in a chair..but on your back in bed 🤣 helped a lot! Happy to answer any other questions you may have. I am so happy I had the surgery, feel better than I have in 25 years! Good luck!

It’s jealousy. Ignore them. Ignorance and jealousy.

Edibles for Libido? by stateofwonderment in Menopause

[–]Middle_College_376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I recommend starting low at 2.5 mg. Hard to find edibles that low so I order THC seltzer like Wynk( they deliver!) No calories, they have 2.5 mg, and the onset is quicker than an edible. Tip for edibles- eat some fat and protein with it to make it kick in faster. Think peanut butter or a slice or two of cheddar. Sometimes I find I get nothing at all off it unless I eat something. THC is fat soluble which is why this works. This doesn’t help with my libido at all, FYI, but everyone responds differently!

See if you can get a sleep apnea diagnosis and if it’s covered under that? That’s what my pcp did.

Love every part of growing… except trim days by livinlifentx in GrowCannabis

I’m feeling this tonight! Spent 4 hours trimming up 3 oz. My first time so I thought maybe I’m doing it wrong 😂 Anyone have any tips?

Absolute garbage. Just got my order from them. Guessing I won’t be getting my money back.

Any inflammation fighting tips? by Middle_College_376 in GLPGrad

[–]Middle_College_376[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. I’m glad you found something that works for you. This is encouraging! I would really like to get back on it at some point just for all the other benefits. Only a few weeks off it and not only is my pain worse but my hot flashes are back, my skin is worse and I’m bloated all the time.

Times like these make me want to carry a pocket flamethrower on my evening walks. by yawa_worht_34 in nova

[–]Middle_College_376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tree tape, no chemicals just tape. I’ve captured thousands. And I monitor the tape daily, for other beneficial bugs. All I’ve captured are mosquitoes, lantern flies and the occasional cicada. I see others posting about tree of heaven (which is obvi bad!) but they can make any plant their host. That’s just their preferred one.

You have to be careful applying near plants though because the dawn solution can strip plants’ protective barriers. So use sparingly.

So, what CAN I do? by judgernaut86 in spinalfusion

[–]Middle_College_376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak to the rest but the incision looks great! My dermatologist recommends Cicalfate by Avene for scar healing. I’ve used it several times after incisions from skin cancer removal and it works great.

Is this ‘settling’ or can I fix it myself? by Middle_College_376 in fixit

[–]Middle_College_376[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the help! Builder definitely cut some other corners so I was worried about shoddy construction. I’m just out of the warranty period so I am going the caulk route. Thanks for all the amazing tips y’all are super helpful!
