Hi! I started having symptoms of insertional Achilles tendinopathy about a month and a half ago. It wasn't too severe and mostly hurt when I stood still for a long time.

After a few weeks, the pain went away, but a few days ago it flared up again. I was doing calf raises but also stepped on a cord at the same time so I guess both things flared it up.

This time it's only on one side, but it feels a little more severe. I'm sometimes feeling pain at rest and when walking.

I've mostly been icing and resting, but I'm unsure when I should start exercises or gradually load it. It feels like the recovery has been really slow or nonexistent , and I'm wondering if I should see a doctor for some guidance.

For anyone who's dealt with this, how long did recovery take for you? What helped, and when did you start exercising/loading it?

It's frustrating, so I'd really appreciate hearing what worked for others. Thank you!

My urine culture came back positive for a UTI, but my vaginal culture is negative for BV and yeast.

The weird part is that I’m having constant burning, all the time, especially worse when sitting. It feels like the burning is inside my vagina but it’s hard to tell. I’ve had UTIs before and never had this symptom be a part of it.

I took the UTI antibiotic powder and urgency and pain while peeing went away. But still have this constant burning…

Has anyone had a UTI that caused constant burning like this, or could it be something else happening alongside it? If the latter, what should I get tested for?

Thank you!

Had sex yesterday with and without a condom. We did use lube. Felt fine right after and that evening, but this morning I started getting burning in my vagina and it hasn’t improved.

Does not burn when I pee, just constant burning no matter the position I am in.
Occasional twinges
No discharge that I can tell.
~6/10 discomfort

There was some dryness/friction during sex and I was finishing my period that same day.

I’ve had a similar feeling before but nothing that lasts this long without improving..or that onsets the day after..

Could this be micro tears or irritation, or does this sound like something like BV/infection?

And would you wait 24h or get checked today?

If you have any tips to soothe the burning sensation, that would be appreciated too!

Hi everyone,

I’m a U.S. citizen and currently self-employed, paying quarterly estimated taxes to the IRS.

I’m moving to Spain this month and plan to become autónoma there around late June / early July. I will be a Spanish tax resident for 2026 as I’ll meet the 183-day rule.

I already paid my Q1 estimated taxes to the IRS, but I’m confused about what to do for the rest of the year.

My questions are:

• Do I still need to pay Q2 estimated taxes to the IRS, since I won’t be an autónoma in Spain until Q3?
• My understanding is that once I register as autónoma in Spain (Q3 onward), my quarterly payments would go to Spain directly. Is that correct?

Appreciate any guidance or if anyone has gone through something similar. Thank you!

Hi! I have a question about tax residency and business expenses.

I’m currently self-employed in the US and I’m moving to Spain in May 2026. Will be autonomo and considered a tax resident for 2026.

I already bought a new MacBook at the beginning of this month in the US as it’s cheaper.

My question is:

Is it okay to treat this as a US business expense and deduct it on my business expenses, even though I’ll become tax resident in Spain for all of 2026?

Or is it safer to just treat it as a personal purchase and not involve my business at all?

Wondering if once I file 2026 taxes if there will be some kind of issue if I’ve deducted the laptop as a US business expense if I’ll need to pay 2026 taxes to Spain as a tax resident. Want to avoid any messiness if possible but I don’t know much about taxes to know if it will be any issue.

Thank you!
