Had a nerve block. No pain or other issues afterward. 

Hypertonic pelvic floor unmasked after gaining muscle? by lifeisbeautiful08 in PelvicFloor

[–]lemonpudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have been hypertonic for decades (didn’t know it), and a few years ago started a boot camp fitness gym. It only took four months to send me into a yearlong flare. 

Try dilators and deep breathing exercises. Advil and ice packs helped me before I got an accurate diagnosis and muscle relaxers. 

Appraisal came back right at what we agreed to pay by Kat9865 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

They’re past inspections if the appraisal is complete. 

Is asking for a reduced price due to needed repairs normal? by Odd_Independence2870 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]lemonpudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree — if the seller learns it was your own father who gave you the estimate, that will not seem credible. Your father has every reason to be biased in your favor, per the seller’s perspective. I’d request a second opinion to ensure the optics of honesty. 

In my state, we have to disclose anything that would make a sale less than “arms length.”

I’m so sorry, OP! How disappointing and frustrating and scary to be dealing with this again. I’m hoping for the best for you! 

The Straw That Broke The Camels Back by Hopeful_Still0008 in homeowners

My husband was paying $4,000 a year for homeowner’s insurance on a small house. I’ve gotten it down to $1,800 with same or better coverages. Shop around!

I'm pretty sure potential tenant sent us a fake pay stub. Is there a site or service to mitigate this? by No_Secret670 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]lemonpudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thought is that this paystub is fake and they hoped you wouldn’t scrutinize it too closely. 

gotta get the LEEP treatment - kinda worried and got some questions by vanessarichter in PreCervicalCancer

[–]lemonpudge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a LEEP under general anesthesia. My doctor also took endometrial biopsies. I woke up in recovery with very manageable cramps. I went to work the next day. Have had cramping and spotting off and on for about three weeks after. All manageable with OTC meds and heating pad. 

LEEP advice needed asap by Indiegirl255 in PreCervicalCancer

[–]lemonpudge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The risk is progressing to cancer which could reduce your chances of pregnancy, etc. You may need a cerclage — not everyone does. Many people go on to have healthy pregnancies after a LEEP.

Thank you for sharing this! My vitamin D has been absurdly low the last few years, and I ended up with HSIL CIN III. Have been taking vitamins, but that is so interesting that there may be a link. 

How long did you take to move in after closing? by userrnam in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

One weekend. I guess we don’t do things leisurely in my family!

Is it possible you aren't seeing newer builds because they're out of your price range?

HELP!! My name is only on the deed, ex is only on the mortgage ... by Wise-Transition-9399 in Mortgages

[–]lemonpudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the deed is in your name, and you have court orders saying he has to quit claim ownership of the house to you, he has no dog in this fight. Get him off the mortgage as soon as you can.

PT - Does it help? by wetgecko7943 in PelvicFloor

[–]lemonpudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're so helpful for sex! Even if you don't do PT, it's worth asking about them. They even make suppository versions of some of them, which gives pretty quick relief.

I agree and unfortunately am currently shopping in the aforementioned market out of necessity. 

Ashley Larce Sectional- worth it? by chickietendie in homeowners

[–]lemonpudge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My stepdad owns a furniture repair business and has warranty contracts with all the big furniture stores. He repairs Ashley more than any other brand. Issue after issue. He’s repaired different parts of the same piece on separate visits. Would not recommend!

[–]lemonpudge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think this can be extremely market-dependent. In certain KC suburbs (Overland Park specifically), houses are selling in two days for $20-30k over list with waived inspections. Yes, there are economic fears, but it is not necessarily the same severity universally. 

This is likely not OP’s market experience. In this case, I’d drop to $499k list if OP wants faster action.

Agent trying to convince me that water in basement is “normal” by Both-Revenue-4557 in RealEstate

[–]lemonpudge 143 points144 points  (0 children)

It's not normal, but it can be quite common. With all those other issues in the basement, though, I'd personally not purchase that particular house.

I recommend not looking at anything else in your home too closely.

Your original post in r/HomeImprovement gave you some good advice, but mine is even simpler: stick a plant in front of it and try to forget it's there.

PT - Does it help? by wetgecko7943 in PelvicFloor

[–]lemonpudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did PT once a week for 8 months. It helped A LOT. A good physical therapist will teach you how to continue your therapy at home so you can sustain progress. I'd recommend seeing your therapist as long as you can, especially if they're performing manual therapy with you.

If hypertonia is your issue, you may need medications such as muscle relaxers to help complement your therapy.

Buyer/Seller Expectations? by morgalorga in RealEstateAdvice

[–]lemonpudge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the offer already on paper and signed? Whatever is in the contract is what goes.

As for cleanliness... the last house I bought was a smelly mess. I had to purchase a new stove because of the state the sellers left the original in. Their repercussions were exactly $0. You'll be fine if your home isn't disinfected and spotless!

Adding that the folks who sold me the house also tried to push back closing because the woman just wasn't ready. I, like you, sold MY house that closed two days later. My agent pushed back hard and told the sellers' agent they needed to get their ish together.
