Acupuncture. Spray called bio freeze that is more a temporary remedy but works.

Working on it. I had a phone appt. with an ortho on Saturday, he gave me an imaging order for an MRI. Gotta set up the MRI now and wait for the results to come back.

I slept on the floor last couple of nights, it seems to help as the pain in my leg isn't as intense. Might do another night or two just to see, I think my lumpy mattress isn't helping. On the bright side though I called in the warranty on it and they approved the claim so in 3-4 weeks I'll have a new mattress, but COVID is fucking up the mattress industry so I gotta wait lol.

My Wife's back is a nightmare but in short we have a "Tempur Pedic" bed and it's amazing! My back has never been as bad as hers but this thing is amazing! They are not cheap but well worth the money .We are on our second ,first was a Queen and we upgraded to a King we still have both.. A Doctor can even prescribe one it helps.

I had sciatica like symptoms for over a year.
Went in for an MRI and found out I have spondylolthesis.

I did all the stretches, saw a chiro, and had little asian girls walk on my back but it never improved until I started strengthening my core.

Took about 3 months but the pain was finally gone for a while.
When covid hit, I stopped doing core exercises and the pain came back a few months later. I have to keep up core exercises.

Good luck on the MRI results!

This is very interesting - I could def. do with going back to the gym as I stopped after fracturing my wrist last year - and then as soon as that healed it was barely 2 months later and now sciatica is bothering me. Appreciate the tip jamf. Definitely something to look into while I wait.

Things that grind my gears: Doc sends over imaging order for MRI, I call Inova to schedule it and have to wait on hold 10 minutes just to talk to someone this morning who takes down my info and then tells me a scheduler will call to set it up. Wait all day and finally get a call at 5:30 while I'm at the grocery store and the paperwork is at home. Call them back as soon as I get home and she says first available date is July 17th. Normally I'm not one to complain but I've been living with this pain for 6 weeks now and idw wait another 3 just to get an actual diag before a plan for treatment is made. So I bitch and the scheduler says if I call my doc back maybe they can work with my insurance to schedule a same/next day appt. So now gotta do that tomorrow.

If she’s hot I don’t mind it, but the pajamas should fit tight.

Sorry these are just the rules in a civilized society

Id still rather her have on daisy dukes. Better than the tightest pj’s and also i know she isn’t a trainwreck mentally or physically.

Just put on some real pants or shorts when you leave the house. Nothing says I've given up on life like wearing pajamas or sweats. If you're going to the gym with sweats on, ok. But otherwise put on some clothes that show you're an adult with a job and a life and a little self respect.
