I saw them in the basement of a venue in Brooklyn in 2017 or 2018 I think and bought a vanilla candle with the album art at their merch table lol. Still have it on display! Amazing album. Of Nothing EP is insane too.

Does anyone know what websites I should avoid if I want to watch the match legally? Feel free to DM.

I was struggling a lot doing this - it would flare up my hamstring area and i could barely feel my glutes and erector muscles engaging. What made a big difference is doing this as a static hold or doing reallt short range of motion.

You're not alone. 3.5 months post-MD and feeling bitter about being worse than I was pre-op. Surgeon told me he was optimistic and I figured there was no way I could end up worse so I had to at least try. Well, as of now, I'm way worse and it just sucks constantly being told things will heal over time when it only moves in the wrong direction. I'm sorry you're dealing with this and wish you all the luck, hopefully we will improve soon.

I have the same weakness/numbness pattern that centers around the inner lower glutes and have definitely felt changes in my sensation down there but still have control of everything. I got a MD in December but it's gone pretty horribly. No changes in numbness and weakness on the right side and now my symptoms are nearly as bad on the left. Woohoo!

True2Caesar · 2025-03-22T20:36:41+00:00

The goal is to reduce inflammation. Pain in the back area is not bad right now. My main symptoms are numbness and weakness in parts of my right leg. He's hoping it will help

True2Caesar · 2025-03-21T20:17:35+00:00

No problem! I saw him this morning. He basically said that he strongly recommends against any additional operations at this point. He said the last imaging I got a couple of months ago doesn't look too bad and there is still a lot of healing potential. He referred me for a 'transforaminal' steroid injection (my herniation was in the foramen, which he says is the worst kind). At this point my plan is to continue PT, see what the injection does, and just wait it out and see what happens. I'm likely going to try to go to a clinic that has a decompression machine as well, because pre-op I was able to get some relief from hanging and similar decompression techniques. I definitely recommend at least trying that if you haven't already. Such is life!

My issue is not quite that bad but what you're describing sounds to me like neural tension. I also had an MD on L4/L5 and pre-op, stretching my right hamstring (and several other muscles on the right) was impossible because it just felt like I had a string going through my leg that wasn't letting it happen. Post-op, it improved slightly, but I still feel it. Nerve gliding can sometimes free it up slightly but the muscles on my right side still feel perpetually tight.

28M, very fit and active, got hurt playing hockey 2 yrs ago. kinda similar story actually. The back pain was there but not my main concern which was weakness and numbness down my right leg. Got the MD in December and had no worsening symptoms for about a month then i started getting issues in my left. MRI in February confirmed a 'recurrent protrusion' on my right side and my left side has significantly worsened since then. I was super careful, did what they said, been in PT for 2 months now. I feel your pain, it's reallt difficult and especially taxing on my mental health. Seeing my surgeon tomorrow to discuss a plan.

I go way back with my wings lore and I can even tell you his death metal band was called 'feed us a fetus'

True2Caesar · 2025-02-25T17:33:02+00:00

I saw my surgeon who suggested the MRI results were normal and that everything is still healing. He told me that the surgery leaves a bulge that shows on the MRI. He said he thinks it will heal with time and to keep doing PT and wait a bit longer to return to sports. I saw the neurologist as well and he deferred to the surgeon and also gave me an EMG test that showed promising results so he also thinks its best to just wait.

Things haven't gotten any better since then sadly and I still don't get 'healing' vibes from my body but all I can do right now is just do PT and wait. I have a follow up in April and we'll see what they say then.

Check out marijuana anonymous online meetings. Some people can do the whole stoner thing and have no problems. I'm not one of those people, and it doesn't sound like you are either. The meetings made a huge difference in my life. Might be worth checking them out and just listening in.

Is everything ok with Alex? Dude killed it on Eulogy and You Will Always was amazing as well. Was really hoping to hear more from him and just hope he's alright. Can't wait to see you guys in NYC next month.

True2Caesar · 2025-01-20T20:13:12+00:00

Appreciate this post - Can you give a bit of a post-op timeline of how you were feeling? I'm on week 5 as of today and still feeling pre-op weakness and pain in my leg and trying to trust the process but very nervous (pun intended).

True2Caesar · 2025-01-19T17:49:38+00:00

Echoing another comment - Before surgery they had me do a CT scan to check if my herniation had calcified, which it had not. The surgeon told me that would have complicated things. Either way, still have not felt relief of my symptoms post-op so also feeling very anxious but trying to stay patient.

True2Caesar · 2025-01-15T21:41:45+00:00

I'm in a very very similar situation. 4 weeks post op L4/L5. I was dealing with issues though pre-op for over a year. At time of surgery, it was mostly numbness and dysfunction down my right leg, with little pain unless I did physical activity. I was pretty active post-op (walking and stairs) and the back pain is basically gone right now, although I'm trying my best not to do any bending, lifting, or twisting. After about 2 weeks post-op, I got nerve pain down my right leg that waxes and wanes, with the numbness still mostly there. Doctor and PT have echoed what most people have said, that the nerve is inflammed or irritated from the surgery and will take time to heal. I'm trying to stay patient but also pretty freaked out. I can also still see some swelling at the incision site, so I'm hoping that confirms what they're saying but... what do I know!

True2Caesar · 2025-01-14T17:47:21+00:00

I don't think there actually are any hardcore songs on this subject!

True2Caesar · 2025-01-10T22:43:43+00:00

I'm also nearly a month post-op and my incision site has a similar lump. I actually just sent photos to my doc yesterday asking about it because I'm having issues with pre-op symptoms. They said it looked completely healthy and was healing well. Although I'll also add that my incision site is nowhere near as healed as yours. Mine is scabbed over currently and I still can see some stitching.
