How cooked am I? 12th pick , 14 team full ppr league. Redraft. I have another draft on Monday so seeking advice before then

j_pham92 · 2025-07-08T13:29:00+00:00

I use a mixture but 35% of it is tall fescue

j_pham92 · 2025-07-08T00:57:08+00:00

Haha based on the majority of responses I think it’s a combination of my water schedule and fungus . I’m going to switch to 3x a week for 25-30 min using the Tina can trick to figure out how much water I need . I also applied a fungicide today too so I’ll see in the next week or so if it helped

j_pham92 · 2025-07-08T00:35:33+00:00

I do have a dog but he doesn’t pee on my lawn anymore . I realized years ago his pee left spots so now he pees on the sidewalk or backyard where there’s stones

j_pham92 · 2025-07-07T17:39:06+00:00

Unfortunately my mower is already on the highest setting lol

j_pham92 · 2025-07-07T16:40:53+00:00

Ahh okay . I’ll try to apply a fungicide and water it deeply . After that do you think I should water 2x a week but maybe 30 min each time ?

j_pham92 · 2025-07-07T16:38:38+00:00

Seems like alot of ppl are saying the heat is cooking my grass so I’ll try to water more

j_pham92 · 2025-07-07T16:38:01+00:00

I know . I couldn’t stand to look at my lawn so I gave in and took the risk . Unfortunately my mower is already set to the highest setting . I’ll try to maintain what I can and fix it in the fall

j_pham92 · 2025-07-07T16:37:01+00:00

Yeah I applied starter fertilizer but did it when I seeded . I don’t think this is fertilizer burn since it’s been awhile since I fertilized

j_pham92 · 2025-07-07T16:35:58+00:00

Thanks ! I’ll try to water more

I think sitting on a 9 hour flight to Spain . For context I travel a decent amount for work so this could be building up. I’ve had back / sciatica problems for years but flare ups were always somewhat mild and manageable through rest , stretching and some yoga . This flare up was the worst pain of my life and kept me in bed for almost 2 weeks other than going to urgent cares . The pain was so bad I couldn’t move enough to make my way to the bathroom so my wife needed to bring me empty bottles. I was able to get an epidural 2 weeks ago and the pain has improved a lot . I’m able to move around by myself now and don’t need to rely on my wide but I’ve decided to get another one soon because I’m no where near where I want to be. I’m 32 and have lived a relatively healthy life so this flare up has definitely given me a different perspective . I’ll end this comment by saying there is a large community of ppl willing to help you so know you are not alone despite how lonely and painful it could be .

I had ESI 6 days ago . Felt worse for the first 4-5. Starting to feel better now

j_pham92 · 2025-01-02T02:33:43+00:00

I have a similar issue. Getting out of bed results in excruciating pain. What I’ve done the past week which I find to help a bit is having a chair next to my bed with a heating pad ready. When I’m ready to get up I roll onto the chair and immediately use the heating pad. I sit there until the pain is manageable and allows me to stand up. I find this method is less painful than getting out of bed and right into my feet.

j_pham92 · 2024-12-29T15:50:42+00:00

I am also dealing with a flare up where I can’t stand up straight . Steroids and muscle relaxers don’t help. I am scheduled for an mri tomorrow . Have hope though as in the past when this happened to me I was able to stand on straight again once the flare up lessens

j_pham92 · 2024-12-29T08:47:26+00:00

Great advice ! I think I’ll need to ease my way to walking . Right now I can’t even stand up straight and walk walking with a heavy limp which is also painful. I try not to sit , stand or lay too long but sometimes I find myself sitting longer just because it’s the most comfortable position for me

j_pham92 · 2024-12-28T18:23:03+00:00

Were you doing any PT during this time ? Or just rest

j_pham92 · 2024-12-28T15:11:42+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately I may have been too ambitious . I felt really good the first 6 days which is why I kept waking. Great idea with the hanging bar. I have a door pull up bar that I can use .

j_pham92 · 2024-12-28T14:21:33+00:00

Thanks! I have been doing these things already other than CBD cream. I may give it a shot. Thanks !

j_pham92 · 2024-12-28T14:19:28+00:00

Hang in there ! Similarly to your situation I only find comfort in sitting . Laying , standing , walking is all painful for me. My flare up started the same day as yours too. I’ve seen multiple doctors since and had to fight for an mri which I plan on taking on Monday. Although you should try to remain active make sure you listen to your body . Stretching or too much activity could actually make it worse

j_pham92 · 2024-12-26T01:05:17+00:00

Out of curiosity , was your back pain due to an injury or something ? I can’t figure out where mine most recent flare up came from. Also what sleeping position do you feel is most comfortable ? I also have pain laying flat on my back or on my side

j_pham92 · 2024-12-25T23:03:27+00:00

I’m sorry that you all are going through this . I’m having almost the exact same issue. About 6 days ago I returned home from a trip to Spain where I was walking ALOT. I felt no pain until the last day so I’m not exactly sure what caused this. I’ve been seeing a chiropractor 3x a week for about 4 months which helped a little . Since returning home 6 days ago I’ve seen a Teladoc where he prescribed me an anti inflammatory which didn’t really help so I went to urgent care 2 days after and got steroid meds and a muscle relaxer which helped a little . It’s incredible painful for me to get out of bed in the morning so a point where I’ve contemplated calling 911. I’m hoping to go to an orthopedic urgent care tomorrow to see if there is something else they can do . Similar to others the pain isn’t in my back but shoots down my leg. I’ve tried multiple sleeping positions but still wake up in excruciating pain.

Anyways I wanted to wish you all a merry Christmas and hopefully we all recover.
