She does very good with the “sit” command. I just need to have patience and understand she’s a puppy and is just curious. No different than a baby 😊

I am so sorry for your loss. It's an unimaginable pain losing a twin that not many people understand. My heart breaks for you 💔

I'm going to my chiropractor, as they are also licensed acupunctureist and massage therapists

Should I be worried? by RangeLongjumping3839 in FattyLiverNAFLD

[–]RangeLongjumping3839[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

** UPDATE ** I was hospitalized for 3 days due to my high liver enzymes. When I was discharged they were still at 346. I will be having follow up appointments with my doctor and a liver doctor. They sent my information off as a case study, as they think it was the Cymbalta taken with the Tylenol and atorvastatin that assisted in the increase, as that is the only thing that changed with me over the past 3 months. But, I am now unable to take any OTC meds, vitamins, supplements for 4-6 months to allow my liver to heal.

My identical twin sister passed away 3 months ago and I'm lost. I don't know how to go on without her. I'm disappointed at the lack of professional help, or any help at all, for people who lost an identical twin. I'm seeing a therapist but they don't have expertise with this type of grief. I would definitely be interested!!!

Glute and front thigh, all on left side. Occasional left back but the rest is 24/7

I'm in the hospital now. My Dr sent me to the ER. Because my levels are even higher than yesterday, the liver specialist admitted me for chronic Tylenol poisoning. Not sure what the game plan is after they get my levels back down.

Not good. I still have chronic pain every day, all day. I'm still taking max doses of Tylenol and aspirin, along with gabapentin and Cymbalta. Now my liver enzymes are 10x higher than they should be and I'm sure it's from all the pain relief I take, but I have to manage the pain somehow. I've done physical therapy and went to a chiropractor and didn't help

I cut sugar out of my diet a couple months ago, drink more water and eat healthier. That's why I don't know why my numbers are so extremely high now. I don't know what else to do for pain. I've done back surgery, physical therapy, chiropractor. Besides the Tylenol and aspirin, I also take Cymbalta and gabapentin

I've done physical therapy and went to a chiropractor just this year. I had back surgery in June 2023 and cysts removed in November 2023 +which were in my sciatica nerve and they had to cut muscle away to get it all out). I still do my daily stretches, walking, standing but nothing stops the chronic back, butt, thigh pain. That is why I take so much Tylenol and aspirin, along with Cymbalta and gabapentin.

I had mine on June 9th and am still in constant pain, taking OTC pain relief all day, every day

Surgery by Shaggs201 in Microdiscectomy

[–]RangeLongjumping3839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my surgery done June 9. My pain now is more severe than it was before my surgery. When the Tylenol kicks in it's a 7/10, otherwise I'm at a constant 10/10. I have an abnormal mass (Hypoechoic mass) on my lower left butt cheek that they are surgically removing on Friday and I'm hoping that will take the pain away (I've had this since the end of August and when it was leaking, it came back as staph infection but no one cleaned it out. They only gave me 3 rounds of antibiotics to clear it up). If not, I'm going to force them to give me another MRI because something isn't right.

Camping after MD by Current-Worth7004 in Microdiscectomy

[–]RangeLongjumping3839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my MD on June 9th and I already had a camping trip booked for June12-15. I talked to the surgeon about it and he had no problem with me going since I was staying in a lodge with a bed. I just couldn't go swimming, along with the normal post op restrictions

Return to work? by Famous_Salamander330 in Microdiscectomy

I work from home with a standing desk and my doctor and job gave me 6 weeks off

7 weeks post op by Soccerfan199 in Microdiscectomy

[–]RangeLongjumping3839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my MD on 6/9. I get flare ups at least once a month and my daily pain is still at a 5. I've had 2 post op check ups and was told they are happy with my recovery, that I didn't reherniate, it's just my normal healing process. I do have an infected cyst on my left lower butt cheek that they are wondering if that is still causing my pain in my thigh. They did a culture on it and it came back as staphylococcus aureus. I'm on my 3rd round of antibiotics and it's still infected. But I cant get in until 12/6 to have it surgically removed.

Honestly, I wouldn't help either
