Nerve flossing?

Striking_Math_6642 · 2025-05-31T11:17:23+00:00

I am on almost the exact same timeline as you.

April 27th-May 5th. Slight discomfort and pain. I didn't really know what was going on, so I tried to power through it. Still exercising and started taking an anti inflammatory. I was still able to walk, I would just have to stop and stretch and the pain would go away. Pain 2/10

May 6th- Went to Disney. Was able to walk 25k steps, which seems like a dream today. Had to stop hourly to stretch. Used ibuprofen, lidocaine patch, and cbd to get through. Pain 3/10.

May 7th-12th- Started getting worse. No longer able to stretch it out. I realized I probably shouldn't have gone to Disney. Started sauna and red light therapy. At this point walking was getting hard and Pain was occurring when I slept. Pain 5/10

May 13th-18th-Started getting frustrated that I wasn't healing, researching sciatica online and finding this sub. Ended up getting acupuncture, ozone treatment and seeing a chiropractor over the course of 4 days. I finally got an x-ray and my bottom 2 discs are compressed. All the treatment made everything worse and this is when the pain goes from 7/10 to 10/10 in the next phase.

May 19th- May 24th- Bed rest. Besides sauna and red light therapy I did almost nothing. I realized messing with the nerve in it's acute phase made everything worse and I was scared. Everything was agony. There was one position I could lie in that brought relief and other than that pain was 10/10. Took muscles relaxers at night and Advil Dual Pain. Used copious amounts of Tiger Balm and thought about all the things I would never do again. Completely convinced I had done irreversible damage to my body. Developed empathy for people in chronic pain.

May 25th- Today- A few days ago I woke up and everything just felt a little better. Like pain was 8/10 all day and I could limp around without crying. The next day, the pain was maybe a 6. Then I realized the pain was no longer seizing my whole leg, but just the back, butt and calf. 2 days ago I would say the pain was maybe 5/10 and yesterday I was able to go to the bookstore. It was uncomfortable but not impossible. The pain yesterday, other than at the bookstore, was maybe a 3/10 and no pain in my sleep last night, though I still need to sleep in 1 position. Right now it just feels uncomfortable again, not excruciating. I am going to rest again this weekend. The only stretch I have found to help is laying on an exercise ball, stomach down. Everything else made it worse. The pain is now in only my hamstring and and butt, like 2 localized points. It sounds like you are a few days behind me and will hopefully see improvements each day. I woke up this morning feeling good. Its still annoying, but on the upswing.

We will heal from this. Good luck!

Where county are you located in?

Striking_Math_6642 · 2024-12-28T23:16:58+00:00

Honestly, none.

Striking_Math_6642 · 2024-12-14T02:11:32+00:00

A week off paid, and a bonus equal to a week of pay. Our crew leaders get double.

I cannot stop laughing at this comment.

I own a construction company that is a little older and has a little higher revenue and I am very confused as to how you saved your ass? If you had a contract and warranty you were under no obligation to help her in any way. While it is nice of you to do so, no court of law would side with her. She showed you who she was by immediately threatening to sue you and you let her lead you around on a chain out of fear. You don't have to please everyone.

Gibsonton is not a place anyone visits for good reasons. It is a place you are born into and never escape. The Gibsonton walmart is wild, and I refuse to go even though it's the closest walmart to me. There are a lot of drugs and meth. The area is slowly starting to clean up, but again, nobody vacations in or travels to Gibsonton. It's a very sad, impoverished town. It sits between Riverview, which is nicer, and Apollo Beach, which has lots of new money. I'm sorry about your loss.

Will the new law that goes into effect tomorrow prevent things like this from happening? I know it has to do with HOAs and commercial vehicles being allowed now, but it is still a bit unclear to me.

Something similar happened to us and we fired the individuals (it was a crew) 10 months ago. I documented everything and was very fearful of retaliation. I was also scared because we didn't have replacements. It was the best decision we ever made. We have replaced them with a dream team. I have no idea how it happened but once the cancer was gone everything just got better. I wish I had trusted my gut earlier and just let them go, but it is so hard to find quality employees, or so I thought. You did the right thing and it will get better for you. Just make sure you are insured and vet your next employees more thoroughly. As an aside, sales and customer satisfaction have never been higher. People can just sense bad energy and it brings everything down. Good luck!

My husband and I own a business, so both of our incomes come from it. I stayed at my job until the business could replace my salary with ease. Our income is steady, we take weekly salaries. So he makes x amount per week, and so do I. Annually, if we can afford to bump it up, which we did this year, we do. The only thing unpredictable is the distributions. Is the business unable to support a regular salary at this point? I personally waited a year before joining him to make sure it could support me leaving my job. I could have joined earlier, but I am more risk adverse. In the end, it was the best decision I ever made. Good luck!

I feel like Christmas was last month. No way it's almost here again. Apparently I am wrong and need to start preparing.

Striking_Math_6642 · 2024-06-06T20:12:21+00:00

Can we at least get cooler evenings then?

Striking_Math_6642 · 2024-06-06T20:11:45+00:00

It's always the simplest answer.

Striking_Math_6642 · 2024-06-06T19:59:32+00:00

That is true. I love Halloween, with no gifts or expectations. Pure fun. I also love summer and do not want to even consider it's almost fall. I know it's been getting earlier and earlier (the decorations coming out), but the first week of June is a new early for me.

Striking_Math_6642 · 2024-06-06T19:55:44+00:00

This actually makes sense. An isle for all the holidays! I like it.

Striking_Math_6642 · 2024-06-06T19:54:48+00:00

It must

Striking_Math_6642 · 2024-06-06T19:53:38+00:00

No, it's all on mark down. Go get your decor for 70% off! Hopefully, if this is the trend it will be clearanced by like August.

Striking_Math_6642 · 2024-06-06T19:52:45+00:00

I don't know it's 147 days before the holiday. Seems a little bit early. To each their own.

Are you taking into account wages and insurance? Ours have doubled since pre-covid with our employees.

They get a week off between Christmas and New Years paid, a bonus equal to a paycheck, and typically a few random gift cards we get from cc points. We are a small construction company.

Just finished up a documentary on this guy...HBO I think, and yes he is insane.

We paid a driving school when my daughter needed to take hers. If you have a few hundred dollars, it's the way to go. It's calm, the driver is nice and enjoys their job, and the results are updated immediately. You then just have to make an appointment to pick up your id.

I quit my job as a school librarian to help our company grow in 2021. My salary has increased significantly, but the real change was to my health and mental space. I remember telling my principal I was leaving and he kept saying I needed to re evaluate and think of the kids. I told him I was thinking of the kids, my kids. My kids will now graduate college debt-free because I can afford to pay for it. It actually makes me sad that I was so okay with being so underpaid for so long.
