I’ve raised the questions of sciatica with two doctors who test it by getting me to touch my toes or test my hip rotation and the tests HURT but they’ve said it would hurt more if I had sciatica which I find weird because I KNOW I have a high pain tolerance.

For context this pain starts in the lower back and radiates all the way down into and past the buttock into the back of my leg. It’s annoying and uncomfortable and it feels like my body alignment is off - ie one part of my back hits the wall before the other and I’d have to force both of them to be against the wall.

Wondering if anyone has any advice on this - honestly I’ve been self medicating with the bud but now that I’m trying to give that up looking for a proper (and healthier ) solution \ guidance.

TIA

I’ll be travelling for the first time to China next year and need some guidance on how doable my planned itinerary is - as well as how to plan the trip stop wise .

The main places I want to visit are:

Beijing
Chongqing
Furong
Zhangjiajie
Lianzhao
Dujiangyan

I only have two weeks which I totally understand this is way to many places so any and all guidance as well as any key tips.

Thanks in advance!

My mom has moved into a nursing home and even with the ancillary and nursing home loan (fair deal) it’s coming out at 400€ per week (without anything extra). That seems insane when 1/3 of a house value will be taken off on the sale.
