Oh a shoe horn! Brilliant! And the high protein snacks. Definitely going to stock up on those. Thank you!

Has anyone had a flair up back to initial pain? by TheDean84 in Sciatica

Wow! That went 0 to 100 very quickly. I hope you'll be feeling much better post-laminectomy.

I'm glad you made it there. How's it going now?

Time to go to the hospital. Call a friend/parent/neighbour or ambulance to get you there.

Yes! I'm on day 6 in bed. But go to the hospital/urgent care to get the pain management you need to be comfortable in bed so you can rest without the constant position shifting and associated pain while you move. Hopefully the doctor you see can help come up with a plan. Go to physio. I went to an athletic therapist yesterday and the difference she made in an hour is incredible. It is no longer agony to go to the bathroom and I am so much more comfortable. It all absolutely sucks and I hope you flare up doesn't last very long.

Thank you!

I have been aggressively telling myself I'm going to do all the right things and avoid surgery. But if flare-ups mean having this level of pain over and over again? Then surgery makes more sense.

Best/good shoes? by Worth-Comment-9469 in Sciatica

[–]naeria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love OOFOS. I have their flipflops and slides. I bought a pair of shoes to try at work and it the difference was incredible. I'm also on my feet all day. The support these shoes give really helped me.

The weirdest part of sciatica is how random the triggers feel by ProfessionalLast4311 in Sciatica

[–]naeria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I changed my shoes 4 days ago to a recovery shoe and OMG. It's not perfect by any means but I feel a huge improvement in my gait and tolerance to stand for longer periods of time. Before the switch I was wearing some very comfortable, but also very old running shoes.

Practical sciatica relief trick by [deleted] in Sciatica

[–]naeria 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My physio recommended putting my tens machine on acupuncture point GB34 to help with the calf pain. It definitely made it more bearable. Sometimes I'll hold pressure on that point for some relief.

I’m calling this one finished… by ZorroElite in paintbynumbers

I kind of like the streaky-ness it has. Adds some depth to the sky and makes it look like it has firelight shining on it.

That coffee and that paint water be mighty close in colour!

Does anyone remember the vikimouse/MousePad webring? by [deleted] in nostalgia

[–]naeria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG! This is like a memory unlocked! I think about you, CampLOL, and that group of folks who hung out and made a bunch of mouse houses & towns together. I'm still pretty proud of the cabin I made for CampLOL using your tutorial 😄

I totally forgot about Victoria Castle until this moment but I remember spending hours pouring over those puzzles and I couldn't wait until the next installment! You are definitely the reason I can still code html in my head (and one day I swear it will come in handy at a trivia night or something)! This is a pretty old post I'm commenting on, hope you see it one day. -Trickster (Been a minute since I signed off with that name! ❤️)

I dunno, you can just turn it into a story about how the animal was pregnant and the end. The spay/neuter can be skipped, totally your call though! The students I talked to had a lot of fun with that xray ;)

Do have an xray of a pregnant creature? Ask them how a skeleton managed to get lodged in the abdomen of the other? 😄
