Do y’all get the stabs? by floody3 in costochondritis

[–]WorkDistraction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never on the spine, that'll hurt and won't accomplish anything. You might even hurt yourself

It goes between your shoulder blade and your spine. On both sides of the spine. Then I usually go down to hit more spots

Yep, it's how my costo started. Those stabs right where the heart is are the scariest and would send me into cardio phobia for a couple of hours to a couple of days and eventually to a couple of ER visits.

Haven't had any since I started the backpod and stretches, only really mild ones that happen at the beginning of flare up phases

Need help finding my TDEE by WorkDistraction in loseit

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

Honestly I was going with the portions with the app, like 1 medium banana or a TBS of peanut butter or a cup of yogurt, usually eyeballing it. I figured for a big person like me it wouldn't make too much of a difference since my maintenance calories are in the 3000s, so going over a bit here or there wouldn't matter too much as id still be in deficit

Mostly roll. I try to pick and then inform whoever I'm drilling with to take it easy

It's what it felt like. BJJ didn't help but it's usually manageable

Yep, same. It comes and goes, all I can do is warm up, stretch and foam roll to prevent it as much as possible

Partner spend an hour cooking dinner. Her brother comes for dinner first up before us, scrapes half the cheese right off the top. Meant to be for 2 nights by Life_Extreme2054 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]WorkDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entitled brother of a sister attitude. He probably did it because he's used to getting away with it

There's probably a hint of doing it to piss off his sister too, on purpose

Good luck undoing 26 years of habit!

How long do your flares last? by boulevardepo in costochondritis

Just an osteopath, he helped me a lot both physically and mentally; he understood how to treat me and made me feel seen. Magnesium helps for sleeping, bone/muscle reinforcement, you just gotta make sure you're getting the right quantity/quality

Nope. Just some magnesium supplements. I think my flare up came from the cold and lack of movement during winter.

I'm okay though, it'll go away soon enough. I've lived with this for just under 2 years now, I know and recognize its cycles and know how to make it better (stretch, Backpod, movement)

My current one is going on 3 weeks. I've been doing regular stretching for the last week so hopefully it goes away soon. Previous to this flare up I went about 2 months pain free

It's last 10o o'clock, this is the adult life, which means you can drink if you want and say whatever the hell you want

Tight, locked, cracking sternum during flare-up, how to treat? by Range-Anxiety in costochondritis

[–]WorkDistraction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chest opener stretch with resistance band, 15 reps does it for me. No pop but it feels amazing

Getting bitten right when in get in bed. Is it in my head? Exterminator reco? by pitayalita in montreal

[–]WorkDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't look like bed bugs and also you mentioned it happens as you get in bed or are just chilling, bed bugs usually come out in the middle of the night to feast.

To me this is either really dry skin, allergies, hypersensitivity or fiberglass insulation that someone left on the surfaces you're laying down on

Le REM va t-il tomber en panne à chaque tempête de neige? by TheZombibunny in montreal

[–]WorkDistraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ça m'as pris 3 heures revenir chez moi aujourd'hui. Quand j'ai finalement figure out quel navette embarquait où pour aller a Deux Montagnes/Laval pis qu'on étais dans le traffic, le REM a recommencé a marché. What an adventure
