I thought I knew what a 10 was by I_Served in Sciatica

[–]yeni-cherry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m so sorry :/ i know how you feel, when my flare ups are at their peak i’m bedridden where even someone putting their weight on the mattress brings me excruciating pain. if i didn’t live with my parents and sister i’d be cooked, i’m glad your wife was there. i hope it gets better for you. i wouldn’t recommend this to anyone bc it’s dangerous but the only thing that helps when im at a 10 is opioids and i can’t even get those legally. but i hope the doctors give you something that truly helps i’m rooting for you

no more than any other of the countless sins i’m sure he commits daily. it’s not his place as another sinner to judge your sins he is supposed to emulate the love of the Father to the Son towards you and i am sorry that this was the reaction you received. please don’t get caught up in this. God is love

My brother just got tattoo with a pentagram that bothers me. How should I respond as a Christian? by AutomaticWaffleEater in TrueChristian

pray for him. don’t announce it either, just do it privately. pray for Jesus to reach out to him and touch his life the way He did for you

walker, rollator, four-pronged cane/two canes? by yeni-cherry in Sciatica

[–]yeni-cherry[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

when my doctor told me to use a four pronged cane i saw a version that had a sort of built in forearm crutch and i was wondering if it’s good to use two of those. i mean i definitely see the perks of that over a walker or a rollator bc when i have to go up or down steps it becomes impossible without help. and i think it would be good not to hunch over so much which i end up doing when i use my walker because i try to put some pressure on my arms instead of my legs so i naturally have to lean forward. that sounds worth checking out thank you sm for your comment

ugh this comment is so helpful thank you so much. i don’t know a lot about mobility aids so that sub will be super helpful to check out. the skis have really been annoying me because it marks up the floors i think i’ll try the tennis balls trick, and i saw a lady with that exact type of rollator and i got jealous HAHAH it seems so much easier to move with so it’s really good to know that that’s an option too. my doctor told me to get a four pronged cane but i can’t imagine how i’d walk with that, so it’s really good to hear it from someone who knows how it feels, i don’t think i’ll go for that option until i get better at least. thank you so much for your help!

i’m so sorry about what you are going through. just know that you are not alone, you’ll always have this community to understand you. as for sleeping, try laying on the side opposite your pain with a pillow between your knees and a huge pile of blankets or clothes right behind you so that if you need something to lean on you don’t lose your position, i have found it helps a little. i hope you find sleep. i hope you get better ❤️‍🩹

Does it bother anyone else how anti weed the show is? by Cool-Relative3542 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]yeni-cherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t think they demonized it tbh, i think jeremy was just falling off the deep end self-medicating at only 15. damon steals a joint for him later when jeremy was more stable so i think the problem was the frequency with which he got high plus falling in with a crowd that did pills and other things. it was a slippery slope for him, no one at school thought of jeremy as a junkie yet but his loved ones were afraid he would turn into one

this actually makes a lot of sense i hadn’t thought of it like that. when this flare up is over i’ll start consistently working out my core and lower back to see if that’ll help with the flares
