8 weeks PO, feel like I still can’t or shouldn’t lunge or bend my front knee at a right angle?
I’ve tried kneeling and putting one leg out front bent but it stretches hard, through my back, so I stopped. Anyone have any advice on when they returned to this movement and *safely*? I don’t get my first PT for another couple weeks but I’m having trouble waiting to at least try…
I have an MRI next week to check if I re herniated bc of excruciating new pain and nerve symptoms return at 8 weeks. I can’t even stand the waiting for the MRI and just looking for any cases that had a positive outcome even when it seemed to you like you re herniated?
~2 mo PO and feeling pretty convinced the extreme nerve symptoms & horrible pain in my back that has returned is a re herniation. MRI next week to check thankfully. Have had many up downs and flares so far but this worst one yet is because I stupidly started testing if i could arch my back after keeping it very straight for basically 8 weeks. I was told arching wasn’t bad but realized it was the same hip roll to arch positioning of when I felt the pop in my back with the original herniation. Just really hope i just didn’t do this to myself again bc i just couldn’t wait long enough to test movement
(dancer, btw)
I don’t think it was an extreme arch i did but who knows now
feeling the numbness, circulation cut off feelings plus actual severe back pain & other scary sensations
anyone else ever really convinced they re herniated & it wasn’t? or it was?
i live in an apartment with one of those big trash can cube things for your garbage
i’ve been getting assistance w my trash for all these weeks but wasn’t able to get help the other day and had to lift the heavy lid… surely someone else can comment on this activity and lives in an apartment w this kind of garbage? i have no idea how heavy those are but it felt pretty heavy
i lifted it w both hands and then turned w my feet to grab what was probably 6 lb of garbage and used my other hand to get it in the big trash
i feel so stupid bc i know this was way above the 10 lb i am supposed to do for 12 weeks and my leg has been really bad numb since then now … im devastated thinking i just re herniated after 6 horrible weeks of restrictions omg 😖
any input or experiences really appreciated
thank you
i had a consult about a potential upper bleph or laser if the case was mild enough, i was recommended the Sciton Erbium laser treatment to tighten upper lids
has anyone done this & was there any bad side effects? i’m thinking how Morpheus 8 dissolves facial fat which i def wouldn’t want to dissolve my eyelid fat unknowingly! (i’ve already lost some from some years of using lash serum w prostaglandins)
if you did the procedure was it worth it to you? i am hoping for even a minor degree of improvement but want to make sure there’s no bad side effects before giving it a try
thanks for any input! :)
