Like in general, what parts of the bone does an X-ray show? Is it like a cross section or ??? Is there a good resource for general x Ray info?
What layers are shown on this X-ray of a finger? Is the veiny part marrow? I find it super interesting.
Hello! I’m 53 and my hands hurt. How are you all dealing with the pain? What works? I saw the doc and they said just general arthritis with some bone spurs and nothing can be done. What do you do when someone tells you that you are just getting old? I don’t feel like 53 is that old…
I’ve tried scaling back to 1 hard day a week, but unless I stop altogether my hands still hurt. I was climbing 3-4 days a week and I’m down to 2 or sometimes 3, including the hard session. I want to get back at it and start climbing more now that I know the rest doesn’t help.
It does help to do a very long warm up. Full body first, then a good time on wrists and hands including hangboard with resistance and then bodyweight.
Doc suggested icing after climbing. Has this helped anyone?
I have some arthritis crème but I don’t notice it working much.
I’m also dealing with the second pulley injury in two years, different fingers. I’d poke to get a good sustainable routine going as I come back from my injury.
Amateur here, I’ve done a lot of interior faux finishes with glazes, basically using a base color then going over it in a different color for texture and depth. I love the look and would like to do it on a small exterior area. (A bump out mudroom where we can’t match the brick) I would be using a base of brown and going over it in a a darker brown/black to achieve a leathery look. House colors are red brick, black roof, dark brown fascia, tan soffit and trim.
Is there an exterior product I can use to achieve this transparency? Is this a bad idea in general?
Has anyone gone to the nooks? I’m considering a July trip.
Concerns:
Bugs
Accessibility/ finding boulders/trails
Routes available v4 and below
I can deal with the bugs of they are not relentless
I’ve gone to “new” areas before and it’s key to be with someone who knows where the boulders are. Are the nooks more developed than that? Can I follow Kaya and actually find cleaned boulders?
Is it worth it to go for v2/3 boulders, possibly some 4’s?
We would be mountain biking in Sault St Marie area so this world be an overnight to boulder.
Hannah Morris just posted a great video with Lynn Hill on her YouTube channel. Reading the comments there are some asshats questioning the description of her being “the greatest climber of all time.” Which I get, it’s a bold statement and subjective. BUT you cannot deny her absolute importance as a trailblazer. I hate to see her discounted in any way by the Boulder bros. (Notice my flair not seeing cis male perspectives)
I just finished listening to all eight of the Unselected Journals of Emma M lion. I loved the narrator and the simplicity of the stories. I am looking for something similar, entertaining and not filled with either deep emotional drama or triggering events, especially sexual assault as I am reading/listening to help cope with anxiety. It does not have to be Victorian, although I do like historical fiction. A series would be great but stand alone books are fine. Not looking for “romance” books, but romance is fine if not the main objective.
We have two car loans and are buying a third for our teenager. Existing loans are 8,000 and 6000. New loan would be 17000. We are also putting on a new roof and we’re planning on getting a heloc or second mortgage (?) We need about 15,000 to do that. We have 20000 left on our mortgage at a sweet interest rate. Should we just consolidate everything into one loan? What has the best interest rate? I’d like to retire in 8-10 years and have low or no loans.
