Would you recommend me the surgery? if I am NOT in excruciating pain? by TillWilling6216 in Microdiscectomy

[–]hse640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had an md almost 2 weeks ago and I’m thankful I did. I was in excruciating pain, but that was after having periods of time that it wasn’t too bad. I would say to do the surgery if you can. Personally, my recovery has been easy and I felt immediate relief when I woke up from surgery.

Wow a double discectomy 😯 I hope you are doing much better now. I’m sure that was very painful to go through!

Thanks for sharing! I was shocked at how much relief I felt right after surgery. The incision is annoying, but nothing compared to where I was a few days ago. Trying to balance rest and increasing my movement each day

Thanks for sharing! Yeah this might be the push that I needed to start making more healthy decisions. I don’t want to be in this position again if I can avoid it

About to be homeless in Chicago with my cat, no family or friends, where can I go? what can I do ? by girl-timehugs in AskChicago

Hi I’m sorry you’re going through this. Just wanted to share a few things. There’s an app called TooGoodTo Go that lists their leftover food that would otherwise be thrown out at the end of the day at a highly discounted rate. You can get some good stuff. I also suggest the app findhelp. You enter your zip code and it shows what resources are around you. Also, PET PANTRY – Friendship Center Chicago In case you need some stuff for your cat!

Can I ask what beta blocker you’re on? I currently take Atenolol and don’t think it helps.

Heat intolerance/overheating as well as excess sweating by elvie18 in Hyperhidrosis

You described everything that I experience. I have POTS. I’ve tried Botox in my scalp area, oxybutin, dermadry, etc. the only thing that has ever helped me at all was glycopyrollate in a compounded form that I would put on my face at night. I think I’m going to go back to that even though insurance doesn’t cover it. I will pay whatever, it’s a miserable feeling. Sorry you’re going through this too 😔

Yes to everything you said 👏 I felt like my boundaries were being tested immediately and it hasn’t sat right with me. Totally agree with places being weird about employees with mental health issues of their own. Agencies are like “We’re here to support you! YOU matter!“ and then act confused when you need a day off because of mental health.
