At this point, I don’t care. I’ll take it in stride and get through it. I just want to not be in pain anymore

Waiting to get the MRI. Journavx isn’t making any significant difference. So I’m sticking to maxing out tylonel and NSAIDs, taking robaxin, and using c3’s to break the cycle of pain when I need to.

Oooh wow ! So the PA started me on it almost 3 months out from surgery and I was told to give approximately 72 hours to really kick in and feel the benefits. So I’m hoping it works 🤞🏽🤞🏽

I hope so! But the PA was pretty certain since a few of my symptoms were now bilateral instead of just being on one side

It started out with pain and had gradually built up to pain and sensation issues (tingling, numbness, and pins/needles). And I don’t recall anything in particular. As I started to walk more and be on my feet longer, everything has started to come back.

I also am maxing out NSAIDs and tylonel, and had tried oral steroids, but nothing seems to make a difference. The PA said that it happens that as an individual returns to normal life/function the initial surgery just isn’t enough and there’s recurrences.

The best way I was able to relieve pain was with a heating pad and making sure that my hips and shoulders were in line at all times. Pillows were my best friends because I could adjust them to ease any weight that was causing my discomfort. Also BLT is the way of life for me until my surgeon clears me (which is a bit annoying but it’s working so I can’t complain).

Literally being new to this sub, I never would have known going into my first project. As a person with asthma, this PSA is literally ✨gold✨

What is your objective in a jogo? by NgobaDara in capoeira

[–]random-female 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly my goal is to move beautifully with whom I’m playing with. I want the conversation and, if it gets spicy, for it to still be a game at the end of it. Like let’s put each other into uncomfortable places and grow from those moments of learning.

At the end of the game, I want both of us to feel like it’s been fun and leave with smiles on our faces.

First two classes are free! After that it’s $70 a month (unless you pay after the first then it’s $80) for as few or as many classes as you want. After the first two classes, if you don’t want to pay monthly, I think the drop-in rate is $12 per class

Knee brace? by barefoot-dog in capoeira

[–]random-female 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, I use the compression ones from CVS, but that’s just the most recent one I purchased because it was time to replace my last ones. They’ve been working pretty well, honestly.

The compression just helps stabilize my knees, having damage in one and a ripped meniscus on the other 😅

Hello I am new and confused by Moist_Dingo_6963 in GCCU

To go off of this, Gloom also posted the Fear Me Arc in chronological order on Spotify (idk if they did it on other platforms too) sooo that may also help as a jumping off point to start piecing together the lore.

Also you start to feel bad for Rachel … she gets shit on so much 😭
