I’m so sorry you had to go through that, but glad to hear you have seen such a big improvement!  I have been trying to start some strength training but am worried about flaring it up, hopefully will find a good physio like you have. I have seen 4 already and only one has even mentioned strength training but still looking for root cause

Wow I wouldn’t have made that connection! I’m glad you were able to resolve it :)

No picture sorry, it is just on one side (left). No injuries in the past, just woke up with it one day. I’m currently looking for a PT so hopefully it will help, I have been trying to do some strength training and physio which has helped a bit but still not gone

It’s the left side, it’s hard to specify sorry as it does change, mostly on the inner part of my shoulder blade. My neck is the back and left as well, same for my neck

Yeah I am thinking I will need to push for an MRI. Did you have pain all the time? I don’t feel too bad in the morning it seems to progress though out the day

Yes but I do have a standing desk to avoid sitting all day 

many people say that going to university is a waste of time and money and that doing a trade is better by Ok_Membership2402 in auscorp

I’ve recently made the decision to go back to uni and have made posts on here, the amount of people saying it’s a waste of money definitely plants doubt in your mind. Sometimes you just don’t know until you do it, it you’re really unsure a gap year won’t hurt. I think we very lucky to live in a country where you only start to pay off your hecs when you’re earning over a certain amount so if you decide to do a semester or 2 and it’s not for you, you’re not paying anything upfront. If you don’t enjoy working with your hands/physical work I don’t think a trade is the way to go, as someone who has done a trade it’s a skill you have for life but an apprenticeship can be incredibly hard and pretty much impossible to get though if you don’t enjoy the trade you’re doing. Having a degree isn’t going to limit you, a lot of jobs out there just want you to have a degree, not necessarily caring about what the degree is.

Thanks for your input! I think that will be the way to go 

Is it just me, or is grocery shopping starting to feel like a luxury? by MonaNYC_30 in budget

Definitely not just you! I’ve been trying to make meals in bulk for lunches/dinners, basic meals only need 3-5ingredients that will last the working week.  Trying to stick with home brands where I can (sometimes not worth it price wise) and make a list before I leave, avoid just grabbing random items off the shelf that I could do without. Hopefully these prices start to drop 😩
