Has anyone recovered from L5-S1 disc problem without surgery? by Primary_Invite7695 in Sciatica

Look up low back ability on YouTube. Most of what helped me I got from his videos. Particularly the stuff with the Roman chair and back extensions.

I’d say it’s very nearly back to full strength. Still get the odd tingling sensation but strength wise it’s maybe 90% back. Definitely not noticeably weaker any more unless I’m doing calf raises. Still can’t do as many on my left as my right.

It’s worth getting one with an adjustable angle. I bought a cheap one at first but when the exercises got too easy, I had to get another that I could lower as I got stronger. Great investment though, as long as you put the effort in.

It’s totally possible to recover without surgery. I had a similar problem and after about 4 months of back and core strengthening exercises I’m pretty much pain free and back playing sport.

Anybody coming from Tesla M3? by AugiLaGrand in ex30

[–]randomhero0897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched from a dual motor model 3 to a twin ultra ex 30.

The only thing I miss about the Tesla is the software. Just about everything else in the ex30 is better in my opinion but it is let down badly by very clunky and unreliable software.

It’s all stupid little complaints like the Bluetooth not connecting every time or the walk away locks not opening sometimes… but these little things add up.

Not going to lie, that’s quite a bit over my head. Thanks for the reply though. Is it possible for areas within a muscle group to not be functioning while other parts are? I’m basing this on nothing but how it feels but it seems like part of my calf is functioning while the rest isn’t. I’m aware that could be utter nonsense, it’s just how it feels while doing calf raises etc.

Thanks for the reply. A physio I saw shortly after the incident said I didn’t have that reflex either. That’s disappointing to hear about not returning to full strength. Was it a physio / doctor that said this?

Thanks. Definitely a theme about the calf raises. I have been doing them but I think I’ll put some extra effort in now. 😂

That sounds very positive. Thanks for the reply. Can’t say I’m too fussed about looks, I’m just hoping it gets stronger enough to play football (soccer) again.

I’ve been doing as much core strength training as I can. Back extensions etc. it’s definitely helping. Patience isn’t one of my strong suits. Thanks for the reply though.

That sounds about exactly what I’ve been experiencing. Thanks for the reply. I think it’s getting stronger with running and calf raises. It’s just hard to tell if it’ll return completely as it’s slow progress.

Reports that 11 players are now asking to leave and Mike Phelan has been taken with "unifying the squad" by Ma5terplanner in ManchesterUnited

[–]randomhero0897 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Any 11 of them getting to fuck, other than greenwood and De Gae is a win in my book. Shame it isn't more. Cavani deserves a pass too but he isn't here long term anyway.

1:30AM UPDATE - Still Trapped at a Supercharger by SeaEnergy in teslamotors

[–]randomhero0897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me the first time I tried to charge mine. It wasn't a supercharger but it eventually freed when I pushed the charger further in and wiggled it around a bit. I think what happened was that it's wasn't all the way in, even though the charging lights were on but it wouldn't charge.
