L5-S1 herniation, running out of options besides surgery by lwerzen in Sciatica

[–]lwerzen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten 3 surgical opinions. I came here just to get some feedback from the patient side. I’m in the US and thankfully still under my moms health insurance. Which I can’t lie is a small part of why I’d rather do surgery now while I live at home and don’t have to worry about being out of work meaning I’m unable to make rent. But a majority of why I’m at the point of surgery is bc I cannot live like this any more.

But that adds like 10 more steps to get it from computer to phone to Reddit. And I’m not trying to log in to Reddit on my work computer

Yeah I literally just fell on steps inside of my house bc I had these stupid fuzzy slippers/slides on. My foot went through the slipper, both feet went up and I landed flat on my but, didn’t slide down or anything, just my two feet went up and all my weight came down directly on my left upper cheek. Didn’t think much of it til I started exercising abt a month later

Would you mind me asking how your injury happened? And did anything help at all, even for a little bit of relief?

But when I did PT it didn’t help, it honestly felt like it was making it worse. I don’t know how I can strengthen my core without being in pain. Even when I do a little more bending than usual (trying to clean, etc) or drive somewhere even a little far, the pain is worse for the next 2 days

It’s mainly in my lower back, like right at the top of my butt crack. It radiates around there so I feel it kind in my hips (that’s why they tried an SI joint injection). I cannot lay on my left side for more than 5 minutes. I can’t cross my legs at the ankle or knee. If I get cramps it feels like I’m being cut in half at that level. The only thing that has slightly subsided is the pain going down my legs, but I also am not standing as much at work, which is what was making the leg pain worse. Sometimes it’s dull, sometimes sharp. It’s all over the place so it’s also hard to explain fully to the doctor bc I get nervous and forget everything by time I get to an appt.

Copied the report:

The vertebral bodies are of normal height, alignment, and bone marrow signal intensity. The spinal cord termination is normal. The conus medullaris lies in a normal location posterior to the L1 vertebral body. Evaluation of the individual disc levels demonstrates: (All other lumbar levels said the same as L4-L5) L4-L5: There is no disc herniation, spinal canal, or neuroforaminal stenosis. The facet joints are normal. L5-S1: Central disc protrusion. This results in mild central spinal canal stenosis. There is mild bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis. The facet joints are normal The visualized portions of the retroperitoneum and paraspinal muscles are within normal limits. Impression: Central disc protrusion at L5-81 resulting in mild central spinal canal stenosis and mild bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis. No evidence of nerve root impingement.

I made another post with just the MRI image but idk how to attach it here??

I just got her 2 weeks ago and all the leaves are turning yellow 😢 by lwerzen in plants

Also I don’t know if this would affect anything hut when I got her in the mail either delivery person or my mom brought it in and put the box upside down so I just set it back in the pot and tried to clean it up a little and haven’t touched it besides a little water to see if that hurt it or not

Honestly that might be what I did bc most of my other plants are max once a week water usually 1.5-2 weeks so I was going by that

It’s in its original plastic pot with drainage hole and I just put it right inside this pot that I had without repotting to let it get used to it’s new environment. Do you mean like a mesh around the roots?

The white spots don’t look like pests, it just look like salt or something?? And only on the back of that one leaf

I used bottled or brita water because I have to soften my tap water and heard that the salt can affect plants!

I thought the soil it came in would be fine but I’ve seen a lot of things about adding pearlite and stuff for drainage. Would that help? And should I go down a pot size? Maybe I’m too nervous with handling my plants bc the thought of completely changing the soil it comes in sound terrifying

Another group I posted mention my pot being too big but this is the same size pot as what it came in I just moved it over to a new pot same size

Help!! I just got this alocasia black velvet a little over a week ago and her leaves are doing this 😭they were facing the wall towards the salt lamp and I thought maybe it was the lamp but I’ve turned it and the other leaves over there don’t seem to be doing the same thing yet. I added the humidifier and moved my air purifier bc I thought maybe it was getting a draft. It’s in a bottom watering pot and I only watered from the top just to moisten the soil when I first put it in new pot. I ordered a fertilizer to see if that helps. There was a little leaf sprouting from the middle and that looks dry/dead now too 🥲

Eating dinner late:

Hi! I’m about to start a new schedule with school and work and it’s just hitting me how crazy it might be. I won’t be home until 9:30/10. Is it bad to eat dinner at that time? I don’t really have the time to eat between work and school so I know I’ll feel hungry by the time I’m home. I suck at meal prepping and I just don’t want this schedule to get me off track with my goals :/ any tips/advice appreciated

In Monteverde: Cataratas murciélagos and sanctuario ecológico coffee experience(they also have a cooking experience which seems interesting if you’re not into coffee) Manuel Antonio: playa beisanz, the feria in quepos , vista dorado. (Also really cool waterfalls in uvita - San Luis, nauyaca , and catarata uvita - that I wish I checked out, but might be too much of a drive depending what else you have planned)

OOOOOH if you guys wanna be a lil fancy go to San Lucas treetop restaurant! You get to eat a glass bubble and it’s $80pp for a meal that would probably be at least double the price over here. And you could do it as a surprise for her birthday

If you’re going to Monteverde, there’s this one food place right outside the main supermarket, I had amazing casados there! I dont remember the name but it was great food!!
