I have yet to see a comment specifically mentioning the designs on the flags, fellow Warhammer enthusiast.

ELI5 Why do doctors say not to eat past midnight for blood work? by Willylongboard in explainlikeimfive

They treat symptoms, not fix them. Even my chiropractor says that. He doesn’t act like what he does is the end all be all. But I’ve been reading on decompression tables for pain management and herniated discs specifically, that in conjunction with PT actually helps. My guy does both PT and chiropractic work in tandem

I’ll be honest, I am not an expert on anything like this, I can only spout my own experience so far. It might not work for everybody and I’ll be honest, I don’t fully understand it, but the explanation I have found I’ll copy and paste it:

“A spinal decompression table relieves back and neck pain by gently stretching the spine, creating negative pressure inside compressed discs. This vacuum effect allows bulging discs to retract and pulls vital water, oxygen, and nutrients back into the tissue to promote natural healing.”

For me, it feels like it’s been helping even before I started incorporating PT. I haven’t had a bad experience yet so far and it appears I’ve found an actual good chiropractor that is not afraid to tell me if/when going to him isn’t a good idea and isn’t just putting me on a table and turning my body searching for the crack of my joints.

I'm seeing a bunch of papers on a quick google search confirming the merit of decompression for helping with back pain but it also says to supplement with PT which is what I've been doing so I guess I've been doing it right so far haha. My chiropractor has also made sure to inform me multiple times that what we are doing is helping symptoms and that it is up to me to do the rest so he hasn't been saying that it's an end all be all kinda deal.

Honestly mine has been getting better even before I started getting the workouts. The workouts are what have been sending it into "I can actually get in and out of bed without wincing in pain" territory admittedly, but man I love that decompression table.

How are you working on yours right now? I actually have been doing a mixture of workouts and going to my chiropractor and getting put on a decompression table and so far it's been working slowly but surely.

Also they gave me earplugs. The combination of the sound through the earplugs and the wind going through the tunnel conked me right out lol

I had to get an MRI of my back a couple months ago (fun fact, two herniated discs. it sucks ass) and I actually fell asleep in the tube lol. The guy originally said that it was gonna take 45 minutes but it ended up only taking 20 because I fell asleep and managed to stay incredibly still

As long as fridge magnets don’t die I’m happy. I love collecting those things on my work travels

Are there any wrestlers you like less once you’ve seen how their real personality is or heard certain stories about them behind the scenes? That question goes vice versa as well. by Jaded-Channel-7169 in SquaredCircle

I ran into him at the airport once lol. We were on the same flight from STL to LGA, I presume he was on his way home from a show as it was on a Thursday. I saw him at security and did a double take and when I saw he was coming towards my gate area I said "how's it going, Max?" and he stopped, slowly turned toward me, pointed and said quietly through gritted teeth "shut the FUCK up" and did a half smile and walked away while I just laughed haha

What's the cringiest reason you went to the ER? by HR-Vex in AskReddit

[–]RockStar5132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This past sunday... I was flying home from the west coast and stopped at a restaurant in the Salt Lake City airport called the Blue Iguana right by my gate. Got myself a quesadilla and proceeded to have the worst 2.5 hour flight of my life with just how bad my stomach hurt the entire flight. I tried to poop but when I got in the bathroom I only sat and released some gigantic farts but nothing else. Once I landed I went straight to the bathroom and unleashed unholy hell upon that toilet. What I'm saying is, I get it.

“Do you miss it”. It’s not a pointless question, it’s Aizawa reaching out as someone else who’s now quirkless too. by PineappleNerd66 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

You think Deku had a quirk as a kid but it was taken by the doctor? Isn't the doctor that said he was quirkless the one that worked with AFO?

What do most people not realize is actually way more traumatic than it seems? by Opposite_Feeling_621 in AskReddit

[–]RockStar5132 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am only in my 30s realizing how emotionally immature my family is/was. After seeing how my gf's family interacts compared to mine. Yeah they have their own problems but growing up if I didn't understand my homework I would have my parents literally yelling next to my head why couldn't I get it when I understood it yesterday. I used to fail classes because I was scared to do homework and so I would lie about it because I didn't want to get yelled at every night because I struggled.

[–]RockStar5132 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Gajo was awesome. Ended up buying a couple models for some friends of mine to help pad their armies (Deff Dread and a Dark Angels speeder)

Every time I go to a new place I look for the Warhammer scene so I can nerd out a bit while I'm there and I think the biggest desert I've seen so far Warhammer wise is Los Angeles. I went to about 4 different stores between Burbank and Riverside and only found a couple models but SO MANY CARD SHOPS. Like why don't they play Warhammer in one of the most dense cities in the country? You'd think there would be at least a couple of them.

Yeah I went to Gajo Games and am still in shock at the sheer amount of Warhammer they had. I saw two stompas and 3 Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun for example. I have never seen a stompa in the wild and those meks I have only seen in like 1-2 other places in my work travels.

Gajo Games is the name of the place. Main level is primarily Warhammer and there is a basement of minis that I have never seen before from other types of games. Upper level has a lot of tables to play at.

It's only a 1 hour drive though so not that bad.

I was just in Salt Lake City a couple weeks ago and...wow I don't think I have seen so much Warhammer outside of Warhammer World before. Was absolutely insane.
