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?

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.

Applebees Appetizer posted:It would have to be a constant issue, like if it kept happening over a month or something. For me it started getting worse over time because of the job I was doing, had it checked out and subsequently quit my job. Any sort of physical labor aggravates it, and the longer I do it the worse it gets. I think SWP is right, you just slept on it funny and it's sore now, but if it persists for over a few weeks and is not getting any better or worse you should see a doctor. 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.

My nine year old has a smartphone. Its cheap and costs me like an additional $5 with my plan. I monitor it though and she doesn't even really use it much other than to talk to her grandma, so maybe I'm a bad parent, I dunno. She has a Chromebook too, and mostly uses it for school and AnimalJam.

So a buddy of mine is looking at a 1999 Range Rover. I told him to never buy a $2500 Range Rover, but other than that advice, what should he be looking for if he goes to check this out and how bad of a vehicle will it be for him?

A buddy of mine is buying this for a thousand dollars. I'm giving it a month of regular driving before either it's completely dead or at least requires more than a thousand dollars of repair. Over/under on one month?

He has two other vehicles (a Jimmy with a badly slipping transmission and a CR-V with a blown head gasket) and he wants this to last just while his Jimmy is getting the transmission fixed, and really I'm more curious than anything at this point.

Crossposting from the Porsche thread because I am now a Porsche owner and can look down on various other peoples I think     It's a 1986 Porsche 944 with 97k miles. I paid $2,800. Brand new Dunlop tires, brand new battery. Still has the factory tool kit and air compressor. Exterior is good from a distance, but there are of course a number of small issues. Interior is really clean. If it sits running for a few minutes it starts idling kinda rough, dropping down to a near-stall and then recovering - I'm thinking vacuum leak or idle control valve of some sort. I'm in the learning process about these cars right now. First order of business is going to be timing belt/balance shaft belt/general tuneup. I hope I didn't just throw my money away!
