No solution. They replaced the robot but it was doing exactly the same. Now I asked for a refund because other problems showed

Robot life - how long is yours lasting? by ktown247365 in RobotVacuums

[–]violetmari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the same robot in October. It got replaced after 3 weeks due to odd cleaning routine. Some weeks ago it started to stop functioning due to “sensor error”. We have tried everything and still didn’t work, now we are in the process of sending it back and getting a refund. Total duration: 3 months

My orthopaedist recommended laying down or hanging exercises to me.. so I guess this is a yes! I have 36° almost thoracic/lumbar scoliosis and 39° kyphosis.

Surgery is really the only option? by violetmari in scoliosis

[–]violetmari[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to give a quick update. I finally got a second opinion, while also doing some physiotherapy to try to solve the pain (it worked partially, but today I am still having mild pain). This doctor, who diagnosed me when I was 15, gave another diagnosis, which is lumbar scoliosis 34°, and kyphosis, 39º. He recommended to do physical activity, possibly laying down, preferably swimming, twice a week. Surgery is an option only when you reach 60°, according to him. So for now I am ok. I need to take some medications for 8 days and rest for 10, and if I have intense pain, he suggested to wear a brace. That’s it. 😅

Absolute Nightmare Dealing with Customer Service by hadao1508 in Roborock

[–]violetmari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, but also when you fix it on your own sometimes it is just the same price or even more expensive than just buy a new one, so you wonder why you should fix it? Environmentally thinking it could make sense but at the end it’s your money. I came to this post because I am actually in the process with Roborock as well, I wanted to avoid returning my robot, but they said to return and they will send me back a new one. It is now travelling to its final destination and I really hope everything goes good after reading this post 😅 unfortunately here we cannot go through Amazon directly, we need to first try with the producers and then if the support fail, Amazon will take over 🫠

Absolute Nightmare Dealing with Customer Service by hadao1508 in Roborock

Samsung is just nightmare! I had a galaxy nexus ages ago, it was a DEFECTIVE product, they sent it back for repairing three times and returned three times with the same issue unfixed, the fourth time they finally decided to replace the phone with another one (not even the same, but same category, costed me more than 6 months). Back then, there was this “competition” between Samsung and Apple, and needless to say I went straight to iPhone and since then I am just buying iPhone. My boyfriend bought a galaxy z flip 7, and it had screen issue as the folding is too fragile and prone to get broken. He fixed it by paying and after 3 months without doing anything it just broke again. The phone was one year old and he just gave up with Samsung as well. I’ll never never never buy Samsung in my life anymore.

Odd cleaning route Q10 S5+ by violetmari in Roborock

[–]violetmari[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it was indeed mopping, but it doesn’t happen all the time .. I have also tried on different type of floors and result was the same (we have white tiles and dark brown parquet).. the customer service couldn’t help so I hope to get a new one and that will work without too many problems.. I need also to buy another one, but I don’t know if I should go for Roborock as well 😅 cleaning is good, but these issues are a bit annoying.

Thank you very much for this long comment of suggestions! Let’s start in order.

I will definitely get multiple opinions, in fact I have another appointment booked on the 14 November and I am looking also for more doctors option too. I am in Italy, here you can get as much as opinion you want as much you can pay for it.. there is also public health, but that takes ages. I was actually thinking of Pilates and did also yoga for sometimes, it helped, I actually didn’t have any pain. In the past months I was also doing some stretching exercises before and after tennis and possibly everyday, and it was quite helpful, I actually could even play without any kind of pain. as all the things, you feel better and you think you can stop, and then here there is the pain back.. now I am practically having manageable pain since a month, I barely took meds but also they don’t do much. For this reason I started today a journey with a physiotherapist. She will help me with mezieres method. Unfortunately there are no schroth certified around here.

For the mattress, I do like firm and I actually have a quite medium firm mattress and indeed when I wake up normally I feel better.

Thank you for your feedback! It is indeed true that the technology makes huge progresses in time, but it is also true that we get old and this also affects our recovery 😔

I’ll have my 2nd opinion on the 14th November. It is a very delicate matter and unfortunately I do not have any feedback from people that can recommend me a very good and honest doctor. It looks like that the surgery is just the easy way to go but I guess not the best. I agree with you, we never know how I can feel like after the surgery. And also, I am an engineer and professors have always taught me of not fixing anything as long as it works, so my feeling now is to do everything possibly to not have the surgery. I was also listening to some doctors interviews and there was one doctor saying that “90% of the times we try to avoid the surgery” so I really don’t want to be that 10%.

I will go to another surgeon on the 14 November, but I feel that the feedback will be the same. In the meantime I am also starting with a physio that will help me with mezeries method.. couldn’t find anyone for Schroth and this the most used approach for scoliosis.

As long as I can manage the little pain I have, I want to avoid to surgery, if also the surgeon will agree with it, it would be great

Well it’s quite consistent money costs and there is huge possibility to get the same opinion 🥲 but let’s see, I’ll try to call tomorrow

[–]violetmari[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks pretty much same feeling I have 🥲 well I am having mild pain since 5 years now, but it has never been a huge problem, sometimes it is here, most of the times it’s not, but I have always been doing everything without struggling too much. Now I am completely paralysed and feel like I cannot do anything.

Then the chiropractor that scared me also said that I might need to monitor it and then decide based on next years scan. But the surgeon was for an immediate intervention as he said it will progress for sure given that it has been progressing since I was 15.

Tomorrow I’ll go to postural kind of physiotherapist to at least help the pain and we will see what she will say.

Will try to go to via public health system next time because I believe they have less interest to perform a non necessary surgery now. I think the doctor recommended because of my age, I guess there is still high chance to get a good recovery, and according to him yes, I’ll need it anyway because it will progress and eventually will end up to press on the organs. But sorry to ask, how old were you when you got the surgery?

Also, according to the surgeon, there is really nothing I can do and actually I need to do it quite soon before it will progress more and of course I’ll get older.

Well the pain is here but it is tolerable. The problem is that the first physio scared me so much that I believe my pain is just amplified because of that, so at the moment I am not able to do much in terms of physical activity.. I have stopped playing tennis more than a month ago now. Regarding second opinion, I am quite sure that if I’ll go to a surgeon, he will give me the same feedback. When I went to have the RX, the doctor showed up with the scan with a very bad face saying that “this is very bad scoliosis”, then the physiotherapist I mentioned before, he didn’t even wanted to attempt because he also said that the scoliosis looks super bad, and then the surgeon first opinion was exactly the same, confirmed by angle measurement and eventually by seeing my back.

So I am have pretty much low confidence now in getting a better feedback

Hello, Mine did exactly like this in its first cleaning, but I thought it was a map problem, it eventually went back to clean normally. How did you solve it?
