All opiates here require a script now which yeah , could do but would rather not be taking opiates unless I absolutely have to... dealt a lot with addicts in previous job

 

First line muscle relaxant therapy here is diazepam ... I don't really wanna be on benzos

Tizanidine, Flexeril, Soma?

how about heroin?

Have you tried a physio/chiropractor? acupuncture? yoga?

yeah swimming is good but quite difficult to actually get done right now... pools shut pretty early round here (6pm), and i can't go in the morning coz kids

Ain't u live on a big fookin island m9? :D

Queensland beaches are grossly misrepresented in our export media. Think cancer and jellyfish , not bikini bottoms and forbidden affairs . Also , I managed to find myself in a capital city that has no beach lol - but we do have a big brown river full of mud sharks so that's nice I guess

I wasn't ever going to go there but i'm definitely not now, mud shark river swimmin' sounds not too far from how we do things around here. Why travel around the world just for the same shit? Australian tourism board is gonna hunt you down

u need to go to someone who cracks ur back (helps)

Haven't tried heroin for this , saving that for the cancer pain

 

Went to physio last year when it got quite bad , might go back . Not a bad idea the yoga really , might look at some targeted stretching etc... all of the meditative stuff in yoga turns me off :)

 

I think maybe just a few k walking at night will probably do the trick in the short term

Yeah I was referring to the stretching bit of yoga. Acupuncture really can work wonders for muscle and joint pains. Don't let them try and convince you it can cure cancer though.

Not sure exactly what it's called , the physios call it dry needling - where they put the needles into the actual muscle knots instead of the spine - have had some relief from that . Actually did a tonne of stretching yesterday and used the spiky ball and feel a bunch better . Will see if doing push-ups triggers it again and if so ask the physio how to deal with that

Dry needling definitely works for me, yes. 

This is going to sound really stupid maybe. But I had a number of issues with my shins and IT bands that I was having treated at physio and with the dry needling. Someone recommended a TENS machine to me (see Dr Ho lol) for those issues.

And sure enough, 3 weeks of using the TENS machine at 45 mins per session on REALLY high settings, my shin and IT issues were gone. 

Between that and foam rolling, it seems to achieve the same thing.

I was honestly skeptical but it did the trick. I can walk and run without developing shin splints or other leg issues.

not sure if joking...

IT band = iliotibial band. Outer side of your thigh. Fascial buildup occurs if you walk with poor stance among other things, and it can cause pain all up your legs, back, and neck.

^ that's exactly my issue, I over pronate!

I have orthotics/inserts which help, but since I'm such a heavy guy (222lbs right now) running easily aggravates my condition. The TENS machine has helped majorly, not sure how or the science tbh but it has done the trick. 

Fucking Bank of America, goddamn I'm sick of their bullshit.

managers at work utterly retarded, I've no work to do, and a high chance of not geting any work to do for the next 5 days. I think the expectation is I should find some work to do out of my own non existente volition. Anyone need a Junior dev? I've heard its easy to get a one year work visa in Canada

Sounds like a good time for an audio/synthesis programming side project.

my friend wore clunky balenciaga sneakers to uni the other day and the only person who commented on them asked if he had injured his feet/legs

Today had a rough start. Woke up at 5:30am for no reason. Couldn't fall asleep again til 6:30, alarm went off at 7:30, but was late getting up since I was still tired. Roommate got in the shower just before I was going to and used all the hot water. Found my bike had a flat tire just before I was about to leave
