  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Still having sleep issues. Please pray that my leg feels better and the anxiety goes away
Praying, Christian tv helps me go to sleep. A few of them have all music and various scenery. I pray you will wake up stress and pain free. Happy day!

It feels like it’s being lifted off of me now

I took something for sleep last night and it just made me high. I didn’t sleep and it made me anxious this morning. I’ve thrown the rest of them away and will never take it again. It was horrible

Last Thursday when I went to get an epidural I told them my pain was a 10. That night I took Umary and took it again the next morning. The pain was gone. I have had some pain since but I got a Tweeter Inversion Table and it is helping. I have also been promoted to supervisor at work so there is less walking.
Umary is hyaluronic acid but it is made in Mexico and I have read that it contains diclofenac that is not listed on the label. I’m also taking TUDCA to protect my liver while I take it. Today there is not much pain. I was able to workout yesterday and did 1,000 reps with the Steel Mace. I did a total of 30 minutes of inversion yesterday so that helped. I’m going to do an upper body workout with bands, dumbbells and the Total Gym today and do the Mace workout again tomorrow.
When the epidural starts working and I don’t have pain I’m going to stop taking Umary and use it only as needed.
I’m still having sleep issues and I don’t know if that will ever get better but I don’t feel bad from it.

I did 1,000 reps with the Mace. I want to start doing this 3 times a week. That means I will have to do it on a workday.
20lb Mace x 200
15lb Mace x 200
10lb Mace x 400
7lb Mace x 200
Inversion - 10 minutes
I’m going to do some more inversion today. I’m having some moderate leg pain. I plan on doing a little housework today and some more inversion should help alleviate the pain. My sleep wasn’t any better but I’m not feeling bad because of it.
edit: I did 10 more minutes of inversion and this really helped with the leg pain

The pain is worse than ever, I probably won’t be able to work tomorrow. I don’t have RFA again until August 8th. I am trying to get an appointment with a neurosurgeon
Lord have mercy! :prayer:

I didn’t work Sunday and Monday, I had to use a cane to get around. I went to Urgent Care Sunday and they gave me a steroid shot and a shot for pain and prescriptions for Toradol and Prednisone. I can only take the Toradol for 5 days and today is the last day. I did work Tuesday and Wednesday and got the promotion Wednesday. It was difficult when I had to walk around to hide the pain.
I couldn’t do much yesterday. I did inversion this morning and I’m going to do cryotherapy today.
I have an MRI scheduled for next Friday and I got a referral to a neurosurgeon. I have RFA for the left side on August 8th and for the right side in September. The left side is what I need.
The pain clinic wants me to try a spinal cord stimulator after the RFA.
I haven’t been able to workout and I have gained weight back. I started at 340, I lost 63 pounds and was 277, I gained back to 310 and now I’m 300.
I’m focusing more on getting the pain issues resolved than on working out and losing weight but I am going to try to workout with bands and the Total Gym starting Wednesday. I just have to be careful not to stress my lower back.
It’s been over a month since I worked out consistently, the pain has been too bad and I didn’t want to make it worse.
I haven’t been able to do much.
