Happy Fathers Day Travis Henry.

Exactly. The pain is compression. The inversion restores separation.

had that done on a smaller machine years ago, def legit.

muscle stimulation is also helpful. water, rest, and stretching.

Sciatica pain - anyone ever dealt with it?

Currently in a situation where I'm walking about 10 miles a day on vacation, but I tweaked my sciatica nerve Friday. Ever since, I can only walk for about 5-10 mins at a time before it becomes almost unbearable and have to take a break.

Is there any kind of stretch or a way to get quick relief once it flares up? It almost reminds me of a foot cramp where it gets so bad, but then the right move can get instant relief. I just can't find a repeatable method and have just been sitting for a few mins each time to get it to relax.

Is there anyway you could get to a chiropractor?

 

[SoilVol]

I thought about buying one but could just imagine my wife coming home seeing salt all over the house from where I am trying to shoot flies.

I have a pointer and a beagle. The pointer finds them, the beagle finishes them. Daily enrichment lol

I would recommend a car, or, truck. Bicycle may be counterproductive.

If you want to have to go to one for the rest of your life, then sure.

"Brewing beer" should still be an acceptable work absence.

In Egypt it very likely was. Brewing beer was crucial to human development. It marks when humans go from nomads who don't understand farming (hunter-gatherers) to civilization. It also enabled Egypt to become the amazing Dynasty it became. It was a portable, high calorie, drink that didn't easily spoil and enabled warfare, conquest, and even giant public works projects (see Pyramids and other monuments) that simply weren't possible prior to it's advent. Without beer, Egypt (and the rest of the world and human civilization) would have stuttered greatly. It's unlikely humans ever stop being hunter-gatherers without it and/or similar fermented high calorie drinks. IOW, civilization doesn't happen without it.

It might be time in the off season to post family dog pictures. Always my favorite.

If he ends up being the RB version of Tillman...

Exactly. The pain is compression. The inversion restores separation.

McKenzie lumbar protocol for radicular low back pain.
Make sure that the Therapist is McKenzie certified. Ll the therapists understand the basics, but you want the certified therapist.

Avoid rotation. Injured discs are at their most vulnerable with rotation. Especially lifting and rotation.

Avoid core strengthening until all radicular pain is gone. You can always strengthen your core after the discs are healed.

I am a big fan of inversion tables as well.

Agree. I have a Teeter. Changed everything for the better with my back. For the novice - work up to full inversion for the most benefit.

I wouldn’t get too excited until we’re sure he’s not entering next year’s draft.

Yo internet Volnation Friends,

My Papaw Sidney went on to Heaven on 06/16/2022.
Like many of you, he got me into this Tennessee Vols mess. I "thanked" him for that on more than one occasion.
He was the #1 fan like a lot of your Papaws, too.

Thick orange blood.
Go Vols.

Prayers

I’m outside the hospital. Father in law is fading fast from cancer in his liver discovered about a month ago.

The man had like 3 alcoholic drinks a year and never touched a drug or smoked. Diet has always been shockingly bad though. And I’m still living in his house, feeling like I’m in the way, and can’t seem to do anything to change that. More than most anything, I hate feeling powerless and hate feeling like I’m imposing myself on someone

Sending Prayers to your family

You must be the pivot man at a sausage party

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, and my counselor starts charging double.

Muscle relaxer is what my doctor prescribed for me when mine flared up. Meloxicam is a good anti inflamitory medicine that will help also but that's a perscription medication.

I am on the meloxicam train. I don't have to take nearly as often as I used to since I got a stand up desk. Miracle device.

Sorry to hear this Nick. Praying for you and yours.

Seriously, you’re too young for this and I hate that for you. As long as I keep myself moving I’m okay but, let me be standing still for a bit, oh boy.

Do you recommend a particular brand or model of conversion table?

So Ben Joyce has a twin brother.

Both went to Farragut. Both went to Walters State CC. Both had Tommy John around the same time. Both signed with UT.

After the operation, brother (Zach) started having severe anxiety attacks that forced him to retire from baseball. Ben went to UT.

Zach is coming out of retirement and will pitch for UT next spring.

God placed you there for a purpose. He took you off the ministry field and put you specifically where He needed you to be when you and your wife needed to be where you are. When you feel powerless, surrender it to God and let Him reveal His purpose.
