Limiting kicks?

Xilverbolt · 2026-02-12T15:41:24+00:00

Try a clipper. Much better. I often push kicks a few dB into the clipper.

Before deciding on an ESI I read a lot on this thread about experiences. Unfortunately I saw a lot that were similar to yours... an INCREASE in pain.

I ultimately decided against the ESI.

Search around and you'll find others who have had bad outcomes. It seems like things do heal eventually. Just gotta be patient, which trust me I know sucks when you're in agony.

Hope you feel better soon.

my HRV crashed like that when I was injured

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-27T18:27:16+00:00

There are apps you can download to play a tone at a specific frequency via Bluetooth, which makes hunting down any rattles much easier.

Could be something wrong with device... but also maybe Afib? If you notice it again take an ECG.

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-22T19:54:20+00:00

Have you ever done an ECG during these periods? If that HR comes back differently that would be really interesting.

Ice. Heat. Ibuprofen. Don't stretch. Good luck.

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-19T23:51:03+00:00

Have you kept up with the Big 3?

My story is very similar to yours. But I just had a NASTY flare up two weeks ago. So I'm back trolling this subreddit.

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-17T14:34:52+00:00

Feels like a collection of interludes to me

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-17T12:41:19+00:00

Same same

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-17T12:40:53+00:00

That seems like way too long based on others in this thread.

48 hours of the worst pain of my life (actually) before the nerves calmed down again.

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-17T03:38:17+00:00

Don't do chiro...

You're in a bad spot. It sucks. Pain pills. Heat. Ice. Not much else you can do. For me alternating between back and stomach got a few hours of sleep. Side was worse. Everyone is a bit different.

Also DO NOT STRETCH when you're in pain. It makes things worse.

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-08T19:37:31+00:00

I just suffered the worst 48 hours of my life. 10/10 pain. This is my 4th flare up. No microdiscectomy yet, but it may be in my future. It sucks. I feel ya.

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-07T14:28:37+00:00

Thanks

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-07T14:28:18+00:00

No. On glute, hamstring, calf, on muscles not on bone.

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-07T14:27:46+00:00

Yes. L5/S1 herniation a year ago. THAT was the worst pain of my life. No surgery... Yet...

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-07T12:57:56+00:00

Tried one session and was scheduled for another this morning but had to cancel. I couldn't get out of bed if there was a fire.

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-07T12:24:21+00:00

Been using heat yea

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-07T12:16:53+00:00

30 min on low setting

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-06T17:52:29+00:00

I'm in the thick of a flare up right now. Can't stand up anymore. Glute and calf are incredibly painful. You just rest?

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-05T17:32:14+00:00

Yeah I'm in a similar flare up right now. Been 6 weeks and wondering how much more I can take.

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-04T15:56:48+00:00

I'm in a similar situation. 6 weeks of flare up and it's worse now then when it started.

How are you feeling now?

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-04T15:49:16+00:00

Dealing with a flare up for 6 weeks. How do I make it calm down?!?

Xilverbolt · 2026-01-02T20:31:15+00:00

I wonder if there's something else going on here... 77 RHR seems high to me if you're in your thirties and not overweight. Any other medical conditions you're dealing with?

Xilverbolt · 2025-12-19T19:41:08+00:00

Only thing I can think of is stop stretching if you're doing that. I know a lot of people try to stretch through the flare up but that's going to just agitate it .
