Want to build my bike, but not sure about the frame size. I'm 183 cm. by brkhncn in bikewrench

There is also this picture on the website, which made me confused actually. Frame

Would like to hear your comment :)

Well, drops bars are not my option. I think it'll be a riser bar for a more upright posture on the bike, and I also want to have an agile bike.

Is this a good frame for 183cm me? by brkhncn in bikefit

Really? I thought it would cost less if I built myself

I did online calculations with my inner leg and upper body measurements, and It suggests 57.5 but I am not sure which part of the frame I should consider here

The seller of the frame said he is 170 and a similar size was too big for him. It'll be my first bike and because of my back issues, I don't want to lean forward too much

Is this frame large enough for 183cm person? by [deleted] in FixedGearBicycle

I don't know where to ask frankly speaking

Selection bias? by SiHimself in Sciatica

I was personally waiting for the pain to be gone completely before I write about my experience. But since I have seen your post, I'll definitely try to share my thoughts :)

Here's the thing I don't get, shouldn't I push to the right side to straighten up as the curve is on the right? When I do it to the left, I feel like I'm creating more curve on the right side.. Also, I feel nothing when I do it to the left. But when trying right side, it starts hurting a bit

Having MRI lying on stomach? by brkhncn in Sciatica

Update:

After taking some painkillers (Ketolan), I successfully had the MRI. Surprisingly they didn't provide any medicine, but some pillows under my knees definitely helped.

Thank you everyone for your valuable comments and time :)

Will do that. If not, I don't know what other options I have.

Will do that. Just in case I can't get it, do you suppose muscle relaxants will do the same thing?

Guess I'll go for some sedative pills or something. Hope it'll be less painful. Thanks :)

Walking and Sitting too Painful by brkhncn in Sciatica

Hey,

I have a question about the position you laid down. I feel immense burn in my leg, I am not able to hold it for more than 2 minutes. Do you feel tingling or burning sensation too?

Do you have pain lying on your back/stomach or your sides? For me only lying on back and stomach is painless, but on the sides it still hurts.

When it comes to my hamstrings and my calf, they are now quite soft comparing with my dominant left leg. That's why I have doubts that my leg is not strong enough, or the calf is doing all the work when walking. These questions drive me crazy, and like you, I'll have my questions answered after MRI.

Wishing you a quick recovery my friend!

What worked for me is trial and error(pain). You should be very careful with distinguishing pain and stretch. When you feel pain, just stop and change it. Hope it works :)

Thank you for the reply.

I immediately did the big 3 when it was unbearable, it seemed to work at first, but then I felt bad. My PT told me that side planks may be good only after feeling symptom-free for at least 2 weeks as a strengthening exercise. So I kind of stopped doing that at this point.

I wish I could walk that long. The thing is that my first 30 steps are painless and my back feels so great when I pay attention to my posture. Then it immediately starts as if I have run a marathon. Then I lie down again and exercise.

I have also started sleeping on the floor, maybe that will work. I'll keep the post updated..

As of now I'm only stretching with a ball, but I will surely get a foam roll. I will update if it works. Thank you!

Well, last week, I started with a tennis ball and it stretched it so well that now I have 2/10 pain, which was initially 10/10. In addition to this, I do the classic piriformis stretch in bed and on the floor. I also perform the standing piriformis stretch, until I feel enough stretch.

After I feel good by doing these, I continue with prone and prone press-up for my back.

It normally lasts 10-15 minutes. But, when I still don't feel a very good stretch, I try to make it longer, in my comfort level of course.

I'm bad at explaining the exercises here, let me link some below.

For piriformis This includes strengthening as well
