leap87 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Soooo, can't do flexion of the back; can't move to the lateral side; feel this numbing pain around L2-3... and it is projecting towards my leg... Am I right to say this is a nerve problem?! And if I try to pick something up from the ground, I need to flex my knees and keep my spine straight....

Just the other day in kin104, McGill was talking about a patient who had exact symptoms as the ones you described...it got so bad that the patient's doctor wanted to amputate the leg..But fortunately McGill came in and saved the day Done midterms and am feeling good...too bad that I can't relax yet, otherwise work will pile up like the leaning tower of pisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd fix my back in a second. Which course are you taking with him... 427? Btw, McGill always has some crazy cases. He's like "House". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, McGill always has some crazy cases. He's like "House". I am in the first year course he teaches. Also, unless McGill takes his time to do a long consult, the general things he will say are: Fix your posture while sitting, and work your core with big three (curl ups, planks and bird dog) and finally spare the spine. (I know because I went for a consult XD) McGill got the best job in the world as long as I am concerned. He gets to paid to do what he loves to do.

True, but I've had this type of a back problem for a while. I used to play pro tennis and I have a feeling like it's a recurring injury... maybe disc herniation or impingement. He's one of those smart ones - mixing clinical with research. Really... there's no point in doing research unless you're helping someone along the way.

It could entirely possible that your pain is caused to immobility of the thoracic spine/tight hips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renin Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Trying to find a pair of leather riding boots (brown) that are under $100. Almost impossible. Found a beautiful pair at Aldo online for $99; someone got them before me. Found a pair on eBay from Clarks for $99; someone got them before me. Grr. Also; watching House makes me mad.

MrsSnrub Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Has anyone here tried one of those "detox" cleanse type things? You know, the ones where you're supposed to make a mixture of maple syrup, lemon juice, cayenne paper and something or other and just have that for a week? I'm really intrigued if it actually makes you feel better/ has any sort of effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat a lot of fibrous foods....beans, sunflower seeds, avocado, veggies and in a day or two you won't need a 'cleanser'. Drink a LOT of water too.

Anecdotally, I did do one about 10 yrs ago. I didn't finish it because I came down with a kidney infection! I was not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been feeling icky and looking for something to help.
