I hear ya. I definitely had room to lose 20 lbs. It put me in my target weight.

I am a stay at home dad too. Trying to sit on the exercise balls to help posture whenever i can. Yoga helps too.

I walk for 30 mins in the morning on a treadmill and 30 mins before i pick up the kiddos.

I’ve eaten literal kilos of the stuff lol.

It doesn’t work well on nerve pain…barely cures sobriety haha.

Well, it can deaden pain but it’s still there and I fucking hate eating kratom lol. The brown sludge haha.

Sometimes it really is the simple answer. Thanks for your input friend, much appreciated.

It’s weird though, my dad’s fat as hell and yet has no sciatica. This is America, half the damn country’s overweight and an extra 20lbs is causing me this amount of pain lol? I was apparently not designed well haha. I definitely need to stretch and walk more.

10 to 25 meters sounds doable in a tent. :laughing:

I’d love to grow some huge trees outdoor.

It just isn’t worth it growing indoors. But it would be fun no :joy::beers:?

But seriously, how much is a normal dose?

Nerve pain relief may be more strain specific.
My me and family has problems with sciatica pain. It gets so severe that often we cannot walk. It’s especially horrible in my wife’s family. Several of her family members have it badly.
But after eating an edible, no a small piece of an edible, the pain goes away. It works for us.

I start off at 1/2 teaspoon in a cup of tea until I find my tolerance for each strain. I just started and a full tsp, helps my pain and is about the right dose, but I still only use a 1/2 tsp. Per cup just to mute the taste…I drink 2-4 cups of tea stretching out the full teaspoon.

I remember someone on here having them, just can’t remember who…

And

As from last Monday I started physiotherapy and it has helped me a lot. At least I have recovered quote some mobility that I had lost over some time now. Being a chef doesn’t help as I have to be on my feet all day… 8 9 10 hours sometimes… that and having put on some weight doesn’t help either… also the sweet and food cravings don’t help.

When I quit drinking I lost 20 pounds. I went from 220 to 200.

I take the stairs not the elevator and when I started carrying a 20 pound dog up those same stairs it kicked my ass.

20 pounds is a big deal. It’s 10% of your total weight.

Taichi and yoga both work wonders for me and some of my family members.
My mom raves about “legs up the wall” to anyone that will listen.
It can be addressed without surgery in most cases.
Good luck

In my case yoga and the sort is out of the question, hip operation won’t allow it…
But for example activity in water, swimming in the ocean etc is great… but I can’t do it right now…

What is “legs up the wall” is it exactly like it sounds? I can do that haha. Is it because it’s a back/core strengthening exercise?

Yes just like it sounds. Restorative yoga pose. Probably can YouTube it. My mama usually just sits against the bottom of the couch and rest her legs on the seat of the couch. No effort involved.
Take it easy Mr. Vernal

Try sitting on a hard floor with a tennis ball to start. Position the tennis ball in the area of inflammation or pain and move yourself around on the ball. This will help when the sciatica flairs up. You can use a hard rubber ball, similarly sized, to provide relief. I found this to work for me, ymmv.

I do roughly 1.75-2 teaspoons normally. Ideally you’d use a scale because of variance but I’ve never done that.
