Yeah you're right, It's just so frustrating to be given the run around. I don't think the seller has done anything wrong other than the sin of relying on Australia Post e. To be fair, his/her communications have been pretty dismissive and unhelpful, so maybe gently caress him

So Sunday night I took a hot shower. After I got out, my back started absolutely loving killing me. I could hardly walk. Had to walk stiff as a board, couldn't lean over without pain shooting through my back and right thigh. Monday I could barely get out of bed. I did, and throughout the day my back loosened up and by the end of the day I was mostly OK. A little stiff but that was about it. This morning, again, I could barely get out of bed. It feels mostly better now, but I'm still walking funny. I didn't lift anything over the weekend. I haven't twisted it in any weird way that I can remember. What the gently caress? How long do I give it before I go see a chiropractor?

If it persists get an MRI done to see whats going on. After my back issues started years ago, an MRI revealed degenerating discs and an X-ray showed minor scoliosis, yay! It's like a surprise but not in a good way

Quack But seriously, I had a friend come see me at work today, he had hosed his back doing something silly and went to a chiro. He walked out and said "I feel worse than before I came in", the chiro told him he'd need to "walk it off"

Commuting on a bike in anything above freezing is just a matter of the right clothes/gear and a dash of HTFU. I biked to work, on average, every other (work) day in November-December-January.

How long do I wait until I see a real doctor, then? I keep hearing that it'll go away on its own, and I'm only on day two. In the meantime I'm taking ibuprofin and using a heating pad, both of which help quite a bit.

Yeah sounds like a "sleeping funny" issue especially with leg pain... See a real doctor and listen to the advice of people with back issues (herniated disc and surgery, here!). Also sleeping with animals I find a bit gross. I like pets as much as the next guy but GTFO of my bed you dirty animal.

Last year was surprisingly dry, the year before that seemed like rain every other day. I've not ridden to work in about two weeks due to holiday aaaaaand I feel like it's going to suck getting my legs back.

I'm kind of assuming the hot shower relaxed a muscle and it uh, unrelaxed funny or something. It was perfectly fine before the shower. And my whole life before that.

If you choose not to go, I'd recommend ibuprofen and ice. Should help if it's inflammation. Mine was a classic herniated disc (like a golf swing twisting injury, pretty common cause), was still misdiagnosed as back spasms, so they gave me drugs and sent me on my way. Years later it would flare up and pinch my sciatic nerve which would down me for a few days like this. Eventually it became constant and I got surgery. 5 years since then and I've had some minor flare ups but nothing too bad and no nerve pain anymore. I know my other discs above it are bulging post surgery (and they also start degenerating with age) so it's probably a matter of time.

Albeit horribly maintained, at least the streets in Winnipeg are maintained (I'm a Manitoban originally, now in NE Ontario). Its more that the 12 foot snowbanks on the side of the road leave it as single-lane and guys with plows are flying past at 60mph. Its loving dangerous enough in the summer when I have room to swerve.

Olympic Mathlete posted:If anything it made me realise I don't have to join in with the general rush that we call life. Tootling through the countryside at 3mph in the sunshine means you have to adjust your expectations for travel. I think we went 70 miles in 10 days, we weren't travelling for hours and hours per day but just enough to get places. Locks take forever too and there were a couple of places that had runs of 20 or so in a row... On a boat you just chill the gently caress out and say hello to everyone you see. It did snow though which was weird, log fires on boats are also a cool thing to have. I also read a book for the first time in forever. Recommend it. Awesome. I'm working on getting a sailboat ready for summer. I'm really excited to have the end result of my project be a place to drink beer, BBQ, read books and nap on the lake. And if I feel like going fast (5kts, baby!), there's racing around.

I would love an AW11 if I had both a garage to work on it in (I live in an apartment, so nope on that front) and could find one mostly rust-free. There was an SW20 turbo for sale near me recently but I am nowhere near a good enough driver to even look at that car.

Blew my college savings on college years ago. It was a good choice, but now I really can't afford an NSX! They're still hovering around 60-70k in Canada (and that's in Canadjan Pesos, so that's about 44-51k in internationally accepted freedom bucks) so perhaps one day my unrecognized talent for convincing people I know more than I actually do will get me the kind of raise I need to make a horrible car purchasing decision. But right now, I am at work, and I am going to keep rereading Requiem for a Jeep because it's the first day for Cisco Live session scheduling and that means the session scheduler is broken as gently caress.

Feeling sore is great. Means you did something worth while. Henry Rollins posted:When the Iron doesn't want to come off the mat, it's the kindest thing it can do for you. If it flew up and went through the ceiling, it wouldn't teach you anything. That's the way the Iron talks to you. It tells you that the material you work with is that which you will come to resemble.

Yeah for anything muscle, go to an RMT. Anything you think might be spine/nerve, go to a doc. I went to a chiropractor once at the suggestion of my (usually sane) mother and walked out feeling less of my original pain but only because there were new pains that were harder to ignore.
