Recommendations needed for back and hip pain

I believe I currently have a purple mattress bought almost a decade ago. maybe a casper

i have in the last year started having a lot of hip and back pain which I did not associate with my mattress for various reasons. then I my boyfriend moved into a new place and he got a futon bed and mattress that he didn’t end up putting together because he noticed that his back and hip pain was alleviated. when I stay at his place on his futon mattress I do not have back or hip pain!! ok so do I just get a cheap futon mattress from Amazon? a Japanese floor mattress? am I looking for something extremely firm? I sleep on my sides and back.

help me find bra options with no gapping?

most calculators, including the one in here, determine my size is 32D but the 32D bras I have been trying on have gapping at the top, like, my boobs are not filling them all the way. FWIW I am 45, lost 30 lbs recently (went from 160 to 130) and when i was younger and this size i did wear 32D but I dont remember having this kind of gapping.

Anyway, reviewing materials I believe I have projection, even fullness, wide roots, short height.

What kinds of bras should I be looking for?

my measurements:

Loose Underbust: 31
Snug Underbust: 30
Tight Underbust: 29.5
Standing Bust: 35
Leaning Bust: 36.5
Lying Bust: 34.25
I was... Assigned female at birth

Bra sizing - very frustrating

Ok so back in the day in my early 20's i went to VS and got sized. They said 32D. So I bought bras in that size for a while, though sometimes would end up getting various other sizes depending on fit. gained weight from 120 to 130 in my 30's, then gained weight in my late 30's to 160. Got a divorce and my weight is down to 130. I've been wearing bralettes the last 10 years or so but now am in a new relationship and want some sexy underthings. And I am so confused about my size. I have sewn before (a lot) so I have my own fabric tape measure and know how to measure myself. My underbust is 30.5 on an exhale, 31 on an inhale so lets say 31 for comfort. my bust measure 35.

3 bra calculators say I am 32D, 1 says 32C, VS says 30DD and adoreMe says 32A. WTF??? This is baffling.

So anyway I had bought some items from AdoreMe and most of the bras were the wrong size. One I returned and got a 32C and it still gaps a bunch at the top, in fact it fits pretyt much exactly like the 32D. of 2 others one is suuuuuper tight on the band but the cups fit good. The other is a little too tight on the band and the cups are mostly good (one of my boobs is slightly bigger than the other).

Now I have zero confidence in what i am buying. what is the deal with sizing?!?! What size am I really?!

Confused about delivery fees

im a prime member. kept being prompted to buy groceries from fresh so I thought I’d try it. got to checkout and it wants a $10 delivery fee or sign up and get free deliveries if I commit to $10 a month subscription to Fresh. however, my boyfriend, also a prime member, pays a couple bucks for his fresh deliveries. when I was talking to him about it he showed me his most recent order and the fee was under $3. he is also a prime member.

can someone explain this to me?

Shocked at the pain

hi, I got micro needling plus prp done at a local clinic where I get my Botox and was surprised at how badly it hurt. I’m on day three after and still tender and super pink tho also now starting to peel (and still lots of pinpoint bleeding spots leftover). my plan was to get this done first time to supercharge then get a device to use at home but now am rethinking, is it supposed to hurt so badly? my neck is still so tender

Edit: im not still bleeding or I would have gone to the hospital. There are red marks all over my face where bleeding occurred. Also i have an extremely high tolerance for pain and did not take pain pills when i broke my back or got a hysterectomy. My face was numbed for the session. Afterwards it was extremely painful, way worse than a sunburn. Like, I had to sleep in a cardigan because i couldnt pull a t shirt over my face it was so tender.

▲ 11 r/PHEV

what used PHEV to get

with rising costs of gas im thinking of getting a PHEV. I currently drive a pontiac vibe. I drive 24 miles round trip 3x per week to see my horse. I live in an apartment in-town. I do not have home charging accessible but plan to charge while at the grocery store. Needs:

  1. Cannot be a prius. I had a 2010 prius and it kiiiiiilled my lower back. I couldnt get comfortable and kept hitting my head on the ceiling in trying to do so. I sold it and bought my Vibe. I need a more upright seat that wont put pressure on my lower back.

  2. I dont like infotainment centers. I want buttons and knobs. I drive a winding road to the barn and cant take my eyes off the road.

  3. Prefer hatchbacks/cargo spaces. I do not have a family but I do lug around musical instruments and saddles, go camping, etc. I dont like sedans particularly. I love the layout of my vibe, and that I can drop the seats flat and sleep in it, throw a bike in the back, etc.

  4. Under $10k if at all possible

Is this like.... impossible?
