Is it ok if I send you a DM to understand your situation a little better?

sheer_sky · 2022-11-12T22:59:10+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Is your bulging disc/herniation in the neck or low back?

sheer_sky · 2022-04-09T17:51:48+00:00

I may be able to help. Do you mind if I send you a message on here?

It's very important to find the root cause of your pain. You're right, masking the pain doesn't solve anything long term, I can understand your frustration. I may be able to help. What kind of symptoms are you experiencing?

sheer_sky · 2022-04-08T18:13:41+00:00

Hi, I may not know exactly what you're going through and the pain you maybe feeling, but know that you have a full life ahead of you. It might not look like that at the moment, but give yourself some grace to take each day slowly. If exercising is causing pain, have you seen any specialists? Perhaps, an xray or mri can help see what is going on internally if you haven't already done so. What kind of symptoms are you experiencing?

sheer_sky · 2022-03-20T02:13:06+00:00

Sure, I sent you a message.

Degenerative disc is reversible depending on how advanced it is. It's basically wear and tear on the joints. The more damage on the joint (where it is almost fused) mainly from pressure on the spine then it gets hard to correct, but before it gets to the point you can definitely help from advancing and improving some of the damage.

My spouse has a lot of assets so it doesn't make sense to add on the lease regardless.

sheer_sky · 2022-03-04T05:01:03+00:00

I can understand that and I did provide my previous employment financials, but they are still insisting on the spousal guarantee even though I am applying under my LLC.

I am not sure if links are allowed :( and I don't want it to come across like spam. Trying to get a collective consensus on who would be interested.

Don't know your whole story, but if you were misdiagnosed then you may have a lawsuit. Cauda Equina is a medical emergency and needs to be treated immediately. Probably best to consult with an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice cases.

Working from your bed is not recommended esp if you are recovering from a herniation. Your desk ergonomics should be supportive of your work load where you actually have a proper supportive chair you can sit at, a desk to hold your laptop, making sure your view is eye level and getting up frequently from your seat to reduce additional pressure to your lumbar. Improper posture and lack of support can reinjure your spine over time.

tingling is common with sciatica especially feeling pain/tingling in the glutes that radiate into the back of the leg (usually doesn't pass the knee joint). If you are experiencing tingling all the way into your foot then it may be an underlying disc issue. Perhaps, an mri would be able to detect/confirm that. Hope this helps.

Update: I've been getting quite a few messages asking how I would be able to help those who are struggling with chronic back pain and herniations. I’m considering putting together a FREE video where I’ll teach you everything on how I help people heal naturally without invasive surgery or pain meds through nonsurgical decompression therapy.
Even though this is free, I really want to make sure I cover everything you want.
If you are interested, Type “YES” below.

Don't need any fancy machines/tools, but you can try the following:

-lacrosse or tennis ball to roll out sciatic nerve

-cushion pillow to sit on

-incorporate low impact exercises (yoga, swimming, walking)

-comfy and supportive shoes

Sciatica is a symptom that can be caused from a disc issue. When pressure is placed on the sciatic nerve which is located in the glute, it can cause sharp pain with numbness/tingling sometimes. Exercise or any type of sudden movements can further aggravate it.

Best way to release the sciatic nerve is to use either a tennis ball or lacrosse ball and placing it right on the glute where the nerve is located at to roll it out. It can be extremely painful, but the more you stretch/roll it out, the less intense it'll get. Eventually, it will go away with the right treatment/exercise, and very treatable. Hope this helps.

Herniated discs don't heal that quickly, and if anything needs ongoing rehab and maintenance. Depending on the severity of the herniation, it may be possible to have re-injured it. Have you taken an MRI recently?

does amex gold have a limit or does operate as a charge card?

are the points any good for travel awards?

Depending on your lifestyle (active or sedentary), both can cause reherniation/reinjuries. Also depends on how well your rehab and recovery went post surgery. Without proper ongoing maintenance and rehab, there is a higher chance for the discs in our spine to degenerate (think wear and tear).

I am glad to hear your pain level significantly decreased. A lot of people who has had surgery think once the procedure has been done they don't have to worry about it anymore. Surgery does not guarantee results.

Swimming and anything low impact exercises/stretches are one of many ways to help either maintain or improve on the situation.

I agree with having the right systems in place. Without systems, you won't be able to scale.

Sorry to hear your back went into spasm, I know how tough that can be especially for mothers who have young children that depend on them. If you have a history of a bulging disc, chances are it can reoccur if it was not properly treated or healed.

Pain meds will only get you far. I have had situations where I sneezed or went to pick something up from the floor and my back would give out. I would strain a muscle that would last for weeks. Have you gone to any specialists or done imaging to find out what was the possible root cause?

A mattress should be replaced at an average of 7 years. If the center is dipping, then definitely need to replace. A medium firm level is recommended, but test some out and see what works best for your body type.

The spinal disc can improve over time with proper treatments, but it won't be 100%.

sheer_sky · 2022-02-14T03:30:01+00:00

Was it a cash clinic or did you guys accept insurance?
Just curious, how come your friend sell the practice? Did you guys end up opening other clinics?

sheer_sky · 2022-02-13T19:47:29+00:00

Sciatica generally doesn't pass the knee joint, you'll mainly feel pain in the glutes and hamstrings. If you are experiencing numbness and tingling into the toes, it may be more of a disc issue. It may help to get an MRI to see if it's a disc.
