We're an Abomination house now. He's got fins.

I’ll accept an Abomination film trilogy covering the trials and tribulations of a Russian-born British gamma mutant in the turbulent 2020s. Directed by Danny Boyle. Music by Tangerine Dream.

This oddly was the original pitch for SHRECK.

 

[Iceman]

Hulk must have smashed up his bedroom when he saw Shrek 4 and 5 announced. He was forced to sit through Shrek 1-3 and had made peace with that, but then this guy shows he has no decency and can’t stick to a trilogy.

ive had back issues for years, more than half my life probably, if not very close to. for the past two months it has been particularly bad and a friend who works at a neurosurgeon suggested i go and give them a shot. she was able to get me an appt the very next day so i went. i ended up having to get xrays after (since we're on the topic of xrays). after at least a dozen of my back and neck i went home. i've been off since thursday and i have hardly been able to do anything that i wanted/needed to get done because of the pain. i've not taken any pain meds since wednesday and it shows. i usually take a 1000mg ibuprofen in the morning before work but i'm not even sure that's strong enough any more.

in the notes they uploaded to MyChart, my neck xrays look decent but the doctor thinks i might have a pinched nerve and wants me to do physical therapy. but, the back xray notes show signs of degenerative disc in the L5-S1 region which is where my pain is stiffness resonates the most. sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night trying to turn onto my side in my sleep and i can't without difficulty.

sorry, i just wanted to rant somewhere because i'm in pain and it sucks. i might just bite the bullet and take some pain meds and deal with it later

That doesn't sound very pleasant. I'd try some Motrin if your stomach can handle it.

OK. I have some experience with this. Seeing a specialist is a good idea, but, please, don't see one who is knife happy. Surgery of any sort should be seen as a last resort. What works for one person may not work for others. I focused on strengthening my abdominal muscles. Fortunately, I was never very heavy and that helped. Eventually, I got a cortisone shot (which I'm not really recommending) that got me through the healing process (disk protrusion) and I've had very little problems since. Maybe once a year, I'll get some sciatica and as long as I rest for a day, it's usually okay (I will take some advil.....naproxin is a little stronger, but if you are depending on anti inflammatory drugs, that's a problem). Do you have access to a pool or gym with one? If so, walking in a pool about mid chest high can be a huge help. Walk forwards and backwards (walk always facing in the same direction if you get what I mean) for about 20 minutes each day. It may take a month or a little more, but I'll bet you'll start feeling better. I know you are very busy, but take the time to take care of yourself.

Best wishes.

EDIT: L5 S1 is very common. You probably need an MRI as it shows soft tissue. What they are seeing is probably a narrowing between the vertebrae, but that's all a "radiograph" LOL will show.

i can handle motrin. i just hate the idea of using a pain killer to get by everyday. there's such an opioid crisis everywhere, especially here and i know people who have battled that addiction.

honestly i know my body needs the rest and considering how much i've been on the go lately, it's logical to rest. but this other part of my mind is giving me the worst guilt about it. it's stupid i know

i absolutely have no interest in surgery unless it's a last resort only. i was seeing a chiro and doing pt for the first 3 months of this year and i do think it helped a little. but the issues i am having now don't really feel like they're bone-related or alignment issues only, if that make sense. i can recall at least 5 times within the last year and a half where i've woken up with my arms numb from the elbows down, akin to when a limb is asleep and that worried me some

Ahhhhh......that has nothing to do with the L5 S1 vertebrae. You have an issue above the thoracic (T1) vertebra (Cervical vertebrae) which controls your arm function. I though you maybe had sciatica because you mentioned L5 S1. L4 L5 is another place where people have a lot of problems. I used to work in a computer design and repair facility. I would put the phone between my shoulder and chin while working and talk on the phone. That was a big no no because it compressed the disk and led to numbness down my arm. Problems in the thoracic vertebrae can cause extreme pain in the rib area that feels like you cracked or injured a rib. Posture, pool, and maybe even a neck brace may help. If you have a narrowing in your lower back, the pool will be great for you. Don't wait until sciatica hits. Believe me, it's a good thing to avoid.

i already have sciatica lol. i have neck issues as well

just throw the whole body away ha!

Try the pool and work on your abs. NO ROWING MACHINE!!! LOL. The pool WORKS. It takes awhile, but it's the best thing you can do. 1000mg of ibuprofen every day is no way to get well.

Jesus, I sound like your parent......

Here's something else I thought about while I was out walking the dogs. If you are waking up with numbness in your arms, it's likely due to your sleeping position. I don't know (and am not asking) if you sleep on your back or side, but try to keep your neck and back aligned. A brace could be a big help. I've never used one, but I'll bet you would get used to it.
