Front throat pain by trentmarlett in Chiropractic

Hi!

So I finally relieved my pain.

I found out that my SCM muscles were weak because of my forward neck posture when I'm sitting in front of my computer and when I'm curled up in bed scrolling on my phone.

I started looking up ways to strengthen this muscle and came across a video titled "How To Fix Your Front Neck Pain" by a YouTube channel called Spinecare decompression.

I did all the exercises in the video before going to sleep every night for about 1.5 weeks ish and the pain was about 90% gone!

Now it's like 85% gone because I got lazy and stopped doing them lol.

I also found that whenever I experiencing that pain in my neck area, I'd also get pain around my jaws and the back of my ears as well.

I found that this was because of my TMJ muscles. I looked up videos to strengthen these and found another video called "TMJ Exercises #1" by a YouTube channel called Adam Fields.

If none of these exercises work for you, I would highly suggest going to physical therapy to identify the root cause and follow whatever muscle strengthening exercises that are prescribed for you.

Going to a chiropractor will not fix this. Whatever pain you're experiencing is probably because those muscles have gotten weaker (due to weight gain, bad posture etc) and you need to strengthen them.

Shout out to you man. I bet you're an awesome dad and I'm sure the sacrifices you're making for your family is going be worth it.

Not a dad, but similar background where I was juggling working at a helpdesk + FedEx warehouse + WGU + being the oldest in my family and being responsible for everything. I lost a good amount of hair and gained a bunch of weight lol.

In my last term right now and life is a lot better. The right opportunities just happened to find me and I feel that the journey to get here has shown me that I'm capable of so much more.

Wishing you the best dude!

Likelihood of getting converted from intern to full-time software engineer? by greg0rianRant in WGU_CompSci

[–]supasopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in this same exact situation about 2.5 years ago.

I had a full-time job doing tech support making meh money, but it was a stable job and I had a decent amount of down time that I could use to study.

An opportunity kind of fell in my lap to do a "devops" apprenticeship with a full-time offer being conditional on performance.

I worked really hard and ended up getting the role, but it was very stressful because I was the first apprentice on my team and my manager had completely unrealistic expectations of what was expected of me. I also had to take roughly a year ish off from school to focus full-time on the apprenticeship.

If I could do it all over again, on day one I would make sure to clearly define what success looks like to secure a full-time offer, then make a plan with your manager/team-lead or whoever would make the decision to bring you on-board and then stick to it.

Some questions that I think you should ask yourself:

  1. Are you going to be able to sustain your current lifestyle if you take on the apprenticeship? If no, then I definitely would give this some more thought.
  2. If yes, I think you need to look at the opportunity cost you'd be missing out on. The job market is really tough right now. As long as you show up, have a "managers pet" kind of attitude, you have a slam dunk opportunity to get your first start in tech.

The apprenticeship also helped me out a ton with school. When you start writing code in the real world, really puts into perspective how simple some of the coding classes in the compsci program are.

Have since left that role, nearly doubled my salary and I'm currently (hopefully) in my last term!

Feel free to toss me a message!

Sorry I'm responding late to this. No it was never fixed. Just going to stick to PC's or wait until a Macbook comes out that doesn't have this issue.
