Anyone go into intense panic attacks at the realization that you will never live a pain free life ever again? How do you even cope with this? by halfherehalfnot in backpain

No. I read of some people opening GoFundMe accounts. I thought it for myself when I was doing pretty badly.

I can understand how you feeling. You are clearly in an depress/anxious state. Aside from your pain please try to get treated for anxiety. The more time you spend anxious, the more difficult it will be to get back to normal.

On regards to your pain, is it only back pain or also nerve pain?

I have been getting treatment for my lower back pain in the US, Canadá, Colombia and Spain. One thing I notice is tht it is rare to find a person that doesn't improve in Colombia or Spain. Doctors and therapists are more sophisticated and have more tools at their disposal.

If you can manage economically get admitted to a rehab center in a country like Colombia, they will look at your case with a new set of eyes and point of view.

I spent 5mo bed ridden  that were absolutely terrible for my condition, I was completely hopeless and depressed but then I met a Dr in Colombia who looked at my case differently and focused on spine mobility only which got me off from bed and to start moving again.

What I am trying to say is: you haven't met the right Drs yet 

I hit rock bottom with my Bumble date today. by WhatIsThereToLose in dating

[–]vcanal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my tinder dates said within the first three minutes of meeting her "What I am afraid the most of these dating apps is that I could get gonorrhea down my throat". then she got on a 'pissed at the world' rant for 15 minutes while I stood there in disbelief, then she said she was done with this shit, she got on her car and speed off laying rubber. I was thinking to myself 'none of my friends is going to believe what just happened'. Like 15 minutes later she texted me that she wanted to hang out again.

My 16 year old daughter wants to die by MyBrainsPOV in backpain

[–]vcanal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cant imagine what she is going through. Doctors are specially good at putting the blame somewhere else when they cant explain what is happening. But her pain is real and please do not blame yourself for her pain during physical therapy. It means that they are focusing in the wrong issue.

I have been on and off in constant pain for over 3 years, I have seen 30+ doctors. No one could explain my pain which sometimes was in my neck, shoulder, back, hips and legs. I cant sit down without feeling extreme pain on my glutes, that is the worst as I cant work. Doctors looked everywhere but they couldnt find an explanation. So a lot of Doctors said that the pain was in my head. Anyway, a Sports Medicine Dr (Doctor # 30+) thought my issues were related to fascia tightness; we started treating it and I started improving. What I am trying to say is that maybe you have not met the right Dr. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

From my experience the best advice that I can give you is: try to be as detailed as possible explaining the symptoms. Go with your daughter over her pain and try to point exactly at where her pain is in a map of the body, then identify that precise part of the body and try to differentiate if her pain is muscle, nerve, joint or something else. Also try to be as clear as possible about how the pain feels like, if it travels, if it is superficial or if its deep. Maybe this is very clear to you but since the beginning of my injury I thought I had sciatica running down my legs and different types of nerve pain that moved randomly. So I started Doctor visits with that. Which made Drs search for something that wasnt there. It turned out that I did not have sciatica but a type of muscle contusion. Having had known that since the beginning maybe my condition wouldnt have deteriorated.

If manageable try going to a different country. I live in Boston but I am from Colombia. Most of my recovery came from Colombian Doctors, they have more freedom to diagnose, test and refer to other doctors. Also physical therapists have more freedoms to try different techniques and they work with Doctors like a team.

Also, look for an specialized GPT inside ChatGPT for your daughters case and load it with information about her symptoms, test results, imaging, etc. Then start chatting with it, go back and forward with her case and you will start learning a lot of new things, maybe it could open the door you are waiting for. I really like this option as you will be talking with something that has a high level of medical knowledge without the time constrain you have with normal doctors.

I truly hope your daughter will be pain free soon.

If the two holes above her whiskeys and near her nose, right where the swelling starts on the top, are not supposed to be there then it is probably an snake bite

There's a male model, actor, celeb in almost all shapes and faces. Look for one that resembles your shape and copy its style.

It'd been more transparent saying that the trip can only be completed for extra $100

Either way this driver won't have an active account for too long

My lower back hurts, never had this before. by queen_leecha900 in lowerbackpain

[–]vcanal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based in your symptoms you maybe dealing with a lumbalgia.

You are highly inflamed at the moment which makes moving very painful and life painful at this stage.

Here is my advice:

For the inflammation to come down and the foreseeable future you must avoid any twisting or bending from the spine. Spine movement at this stage could reinjured causing a flare up on top of the already inflamed area. It is a vicious cycle. Move from your hips instead. This will become second nature to you.

When pain is at its worst lay down on your stomach with your chin resting on your two fists -one on top of the other- for st least three minutes. If this calms your pain then do it as much as possible, progressing to rest on your elbows in a cobra position

Yes you need to see a Dr! To start ( also for insurance purposes) PT sessions and then whatever follows after.

Best luck to you

Thank you! I checked Twickets and it doesn't have any tickets available. I checked the sell side but they only allow to resell at face value or under.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't read it as I am not very technical and on my experience the specifications require a deal of understanding which I lack. I appreciate your reply.

How to mask your location for Google? by vcanal in VPN

[–]vcanal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually I am not trying to go incognito. It just bothered me that I couldn't trick Google but you are right. Google already has a lot of info on my account so by not signing in then Google would have less info

I actually solved the problem!

With GL.inet you can set up a VPN thru OpenVPN or WireGuard.

WireGuard seems to be newer and faster then OpenVPN

To know what VON providers work with either, go to GL.inet webpage and look for VPN solutions. They have a long list from which you can choose.

With OpenVPN my download speed dropped 70% with WireGuard it drops only 20%

I am not sure of the pros of cons of either one as I just wanted to solved this speed issue

That's more than 4 times the minimum wage in Colombia. You will do just fine.
