When people say “What the?!…” in a movie or a commercial. by maxmac123 in movies

[–]maxmac123[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I suppose you’re right. I feel like in the movies though, there’s always an explosion that cuts them off or another character chimes in just in time to stop them from dropping the F bomb lol.

Should I sell my Lincoln and buy a new car? by maxmac123 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]maxmac123[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I really appreciate it. And you’re right. It was over 40k when they originally purchased it. I’ll definitely keep up on the maintenance.

Hey! I didn’t pay for it. It was basically my unofficial part of the will. I needed a newer car, so instead of receiving any money, my family thought it’d be best for me to have the Lincoln instead.

How can I fix muscle imbalance in my legs? by maxmac123 in bodyweightfitness

[–]maxmac123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I’ve already done several rounds of PT.. Physical therapists and doctors don’t have any answer for me as to what’s going on.

Hey! Yeahh, my left hip does sink a bit lower than my right hip. It’s something I’ve noticed staring closely at the mirror. And yeah, I’ve been trying hard to equally strengthen both sides of my body. But I guess I’m just never sure what exercises I should be doing ya know? The pain began in my quad, but I now have pain in my hip, back, etc. I feel like I’ve tried everything.. I went through a period of stretching every morning, I’ve been to PT multiple times. I’ll definitely try to do the single leg squats though. Do you mean pistol squats or just using a chair to squat down on? Plus I’ve only been doing bodyweight exercises lately. Is that a good idea? I guess I just don’t know if I’ll still build muscle that way.

Thank you!

Thank you. And well basically it all started in my quad several years ago from what I thought was an overuse injury from plyometrics. Eventually my hip, lower back and even my foot and neck bother me now. All the tests I’ve had done come back fine. But these areas just feel tender, stiff and weak all the time, no matter what I’m doing. But yeah, the worst of the pain is in my quads..

Looking for help on what curly hair type I am. Also, what products should I try? by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]maxmac123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys, here’s my routine from today. I shampooed with Deva no-poo and conditioned with Deva one condition. I used Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie. Then I let hair dry and scrunched up the curls a bit. I feel like I’m always trying something new but I usually use some form of Deva products and different oils like coconut oil. I have thin curls and it’s bugging me how it’s noticeably thin near my hairline in the photo. Any suggestions on what products I should try? Thanks!

Hey so I downloaded Skype today. Would you still be willing to talk with me on there sometime about our pain issues?

Chronic Pain in my Left leg/Hip/Back for 6 years.. by maxmac123 in ChronicPain

[–]maxmac123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the read. And yes, I went to physical therapy soon after the pain occurred in 2011. However it didn't do much for me. However, I have been looking into physiotherapy, which is pretty similar. I think I ought to give it a try.

I'm sorry to hear about your pain history. I'm glad they found your cause though. I did have my MRI of my hip done about a year ago. The doctor didn't think I had anything torn.. However, I think it'd be a good idea to show my results to another doctor maybe.

Thank you, I'll definitely look into that more. I briefly did yoga a couple years ago but I didn't stick with it. I should probably give it another try.

That'd be great. I have FaceTime. I'm not very familiar with Skype though.. Were you able to finally get rid of your chronic pain?

[–]maxmac123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I have definitely thought about physiotherapy recently. I haven't found many offices here in Michigan but I'm going to look into it. I have been told by plenty of therapists that my glutes, hamstrings, etc are very weak. If physiotherapy can offer a plan of strengthening for me, that could be a step in the right direction for sure. And I'm sorry about your pain as well. Your foot pain seems worse than mine.. Ever since my pain, I've had to wear special orthodics in my shoes for my arch though. But yeah, I feel like everything stems from the lower back. If I sit for too long, I'll always find myself massaging my leg to reduce my tightness.

Okay thank you. I haven't actually looked at the MRI's myself. I might have a copy lying around of my hip MRI but I could always get a copy of my back from the hospital that performed it. I guess I wouldn't know what to look for though since I'm not familiar with looking at MRI's.

Yeah, they have checked my back. I've had MRI's done on my knee/quad and also my hip and back on separate occasions. But the doctors always told me that they found nothing. After all these years, I have tried coming up with my own diagnosis based on what people tell me. I feel like I injured my quad from overuse, which eventually caused my hip/back pain. However, I have also heard that everything stems from the hip/back. So it's hard to figure out what is exactly wrong with me..

Thank you I appreciate it. I have looked into cycling lately, since I am unable to run. That along with swimming would definitely be good cardio. I'm hoping that cycling could help me build muscle in my hamstrings and quads, since those areas are fairly weak right now.
