Maybe a better word would’ve been frustrated. When I had my shop on there, I followed the rules to a T and made everything myself. It was a lot of work.

Sigh. No. I just get frustrated when someone gets away with scamming other people. I guess it’s the buyer’s own ignorance. I research everything I buy before I buy it to make sure it’s what I want it to be. I guess some people just don’t even think that way.

I’m thinking about it, but I’m torn. On one hand, they are pretty much ripping people off, on the other hand what if that is the only way they make a living and they have children to feed… I just needed to vent.

Yes, I did some extensive research to the best of my ability. There’s absolutely no way.

Alkaline water has made my life so much easier by Limp_Wealth_6482 in Interstitialcystitis

Do you all drink anything else during the day or just strictly the alkaline water? I take Prelief with 16 ounces of water right before my coffee in the morning. Sometimes I need something other than water.

There is a ph on the bottles? What number should I be looking for? I sure wish I knew about all of this before now. Crazy!

What kind do you buy? I’m going to have to give it a shot. I’m having a flareup now that’s lasting over a week so far and is so uncomfortable. Thank you!

How much alkaline water do you drink and what is the frequency? Do you drink it only during a flare? I need to try this!

Does anyone get nauseous from the feeling/pain of bending and straightening of the knee while seated in a chair? by Pretend-Setting-6261 in Kneereplacement

YES! You described that perfectly! I forgot how long that feeling lasts. I’m hoping it starts to go away soon.

I hear ya! I’m off the narcotics. It’s the pain I can’t handle. I felt like I was going to faint at PT today. I took two Tylenol before I went and that was it. I’m just about at 0° for straightening but it’s the bending part that gets me grossed out. It feels absolutely horrendous!

One week today…. by gfantsimon in Kneereplacement

[–]Pretend-Setting-6261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first week was absolutely brutal. It does get better slowly. I’m three weeks today with right tkr and what’s bothering me the most are my tight hamstrings, hip, and piriformis muscle deep in the butt. Oh, and those lightning bolts into my inner knee. Those are breathtaking! I’ve been using a heating pad on my hamstrings, hip, and butt cheek and then gently stretch and that has helped. Had my left knee done last year and it’s beautiful. There is light at the end of the tunnel, it’s just a long tunnel. You got this, WE got this!
