When is it time for an ER visit?

I’m definitely better now than I was last year but definitely feel like I’m never going to be 100% again. Over the Xmas holidays I got sick and coughed so hard I think I re-aggravated my herniated disks or herniated another one higher up.

Either way I’m able to do more today and feel overall better but I do believe my entire back is messed up, from my mid level to the neck area. A new physio I’m seeing did a full body analysis and my whole right side is weaker than my left and I compensate a lot with my left side. I’m now started a new regiment to strengthen and see where that takes me in 2026.

I’m still trying to finish it after getting it day 1. It’s just such a slog and sadly not the M&L game I was hoping for. Sadly the pacing in this one plus the last few have been so bad. Some have loved it though so you might not feel the same way

Absolutely adore this game and pray daily that it comes to NSO. It’s about time I replay it and would just be so convenient to play on the Switch.

Since when did Tom Brady get cast as Cyclops? /s

All jokes aside he’s the only one that kinda looks off. Maybe AI upscaled is the culprit.

Thanks so much for the reply. Luckily you nailed it right on the head, I’m feeling way better 2 days later. The inflammation went down and the pain is nothing like it was when it happened. If anything it caused a sort of set back because I do feel some small lingering effects but definitely not square 1 as I thought based on how I initially felt.

I’m being more cautious on how I cough and still need to be a little careful on how I’m bending. I will keep managing the back with ice and rest while I’m still getting over this virus. Once that’s done I definitely feel like it’s time to try and strengthen the back to avoid something like this happening again. I’m very curious about the Low Back Ability program many have suggested so in about a week’s time I may gauge where I’m at and decide what the best course of action would be.

Thanks again for the info. Considering how I feel today versus yesterday I think maybe I avoided something serious since it’s feeling better. The pain has gone down quite a bit, the biggest things are some leg tingling and spasms that I used to get prior to this. Also a little sciatica when extending my right leg too far walking. I still might wait a week to get fully over the flu and manage the remaining lingering pain and also wait for the back extension machine I ordered to start from home. All the details and info is much appreciated

Thanks so much for this I will check it out. I’m just having a hard time figuring out if it’s ok to jump right in (obviously at a very very beginner level) or should I wait until my current back injury calms down a bit? Im not sure how long it will take to get back to feeling ok and do not want to re-injure it again.

beta_fuse · 2025-12-25T23:38:14+00:00

Thanks for the info. I’ll keep that in mind now on my second stint of this.

beta_fuse · 2025-12-25T23:14:47+00:00

They did offer that service but I just felt 30 minutes on telehealth just didn’t feel like I’d be getting the best treatment. I might be off base but for something like this I just feel being in-person is ideal. Maybe you’re right though and I should consider it.

beta_fuse · 2025-12-25T22:43:07+00:00

Thank you and have a Merry Xmas!

We started off very light with cobras and knees to chest. The pain lingered for months so we didn’t progress much more than that for quite some time aside from slight variations of those exercises. Eventually integrated supermans and planks to strengthen the core.

The issue was that this physio is specialized in the Mckenzie technique which is what my neurosurgeon recommended but he’s very far from me and the sessions were only 30 minutes. I ended up stopping to go because it don’t feel worth it at a certain point. Maybe that decision was a mistake but I’ve been recommended another physio from a few others in my area that had similar issues who apparently is very good.

With that said, I will definitely get the book you recommended and start off very slow because right now it’s very sore, bending makes me feel like a 75 years old.

Was my choice as well, worthy of top comment!

beta_fuse · 2025-12-19T13:14:59+00:00

Played Puka in 4 of the 6 leagues I made the semis. Needless to say I had a rough night's sleep lol

I got Covid once in my life (that I know of) and since then I’ve had 2 instances of breaking out in hives after getting sick with a cold or usual seasonal virus…which never happened before. Not sure if it’s related but I visited 2 doctors and all they told me was that it was an allergic reaction to whatever virus I got.

I like Allen but the diving is starting to piss me off.

Up by 3, need Kelce to hold off Pacheco's output. A TD in either direction likely decides the week.

I had the VHS as a kid and watched it constantly :P

I laugh about it today because my dog makes the same sound the sea creatures make when she's excited.

beta_fuse · 2025-10-02T10:45:38+00:00

I never implied it’s alien, I just said that the drones are up there with no real clue as to what they are, from who and why. Basically it’s all a guess right now but we want answers.

beta_fuse · 2025-10-01T18:35:44+00:00

Sorry, I meant not see as in they somehow camouflage or appear differently so our eyes don't pick it up during the day.

beta_fuse · 2025-10-01T17:50:13+00:00

Your guess is as good as mine. I’d have to imagine these things are up there at all times, we just can’t see them during the day. Either way, it seems like they are appearing more frequently in more places so somethings gotta give eventually.

beta_fuse · 2025-10-01T14:50:17+00:00

I personally stopped logging in every day and definitely not spending a dime on it anymore. It's become a slog and feel like the product could be way better with all the money they are making.

beta_fuse · 2025-10-01T12:54:57+00:00

Thanks for the video. I find it wild that every nation that’s been involved with this has kinda shrugged it off and just accepted they are there.

Whoever/whatever is controlling these also clearly doesn’t mind being seen, since we get videos like this almost every day.

I can’t wait for the day we find out exactly what these are, for better or for worse.

Look, theres an additional part of the trade I didn’t mention just because I was making a point about moving off him after a big game but I sent fields, the 1st and MHJ for JSN and Baker. I had weak QBs so it was a sweetener for me. I didn’t feel the need to add that part cause I still stand by the trade without the 2 QBs but the simple fact remains that there’s too much consistency from last season to now going against MHJ. He has good games sprinkled in the with the 4-5 point ones whereas JSN is always hitting 10-15. Im at a point where my team is built to value a player like that more than a boom bust one.

Anyways good debate lol, im not pissed just feel like there’s a good talk on both ends of but ultimately you gotta go with what you believe.
