This is really ridiculous

For some reason I got a pinched nerve in my left hip and it sucks. I think my cushion caused it somehow. It's not the first time and it's not going to be the last but I don't recall it ever getting this bad, it burns so bad when I sit for like more than 40 minutes and even now as I'm lying down it's tingling and I can't stand anything getting near it..

I'm just tired 😐

Sciatica?

PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 31-35, M

@icedsky Yup and scoliosis, a lot of stuff.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Start with the stretching routine. Sit with your legs flat out in front of you. Touch your toes. Lay back and pull your knees up as far as possible. Then straighten your calves. Painful as hell at first but helps.

@icedsky Thanks I'll try that.

Do you use a sheepskin to sit on?

@AntisocialTroll Oh yea everything medical is crazy expensive. I'll see if I can find one on Amazon but I'm scared I might not be comfortable using it.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether The faux fur is no good, needs to be a real skin, I dunno about Amazon where you are but here when I looked they were either faux or horribly expensive.

@AntisocialTroll Alright thanks for that info 😊

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether how did it even happen?

PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 31-35, M

@Dan193 I'm wheelchair bound so there's pressure on it all the time as I'm sitting. Lately I been using my laptop on my lap because I don't have a desk in my room currently so I been putting a pillow on my legs and the laptop on top of it. That added more pressure I think.
Also sometimes I'm a little uncomfortable but I keep pushing myself anyway and then stuff like this happens and sometimes pressure sores it's a new adventure every day.

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether yeah, I get u, I push myself to the limits like that too, and then my health suffers and I get depressed about my iresponssibility.
But I try to be better. Guess all u really can do rn, is to try to be better in the future

Can you maybe get a new cushion? That sounds painful. I hope the pain goes away soon

PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 31-35, M

@Eddiesolds I tried a lot of cushions nothing works for me better than my current one.

HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F

Sounds annoying 🤗 I hope it heals soon

PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 31-35, M

@HannibalAteMeOut Thank you 🤗

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether oh yah your cushion should be fine then. I think you are probably right about the pillow on your legs adding to the pressure.

Hopefully you can figure out another way to use your laptop that won’t cause you pain because that’s not good for you either. I am glad you have it figured out 💖.

PiecingBabyFaceTogether · 31-35, M

@iamonfire696 Thank you ❤
I'm planning on making a tray for my chair. It would be really handy.

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether that sounds like a really good plan. I don’t want to see you hurting anymore than you already do 💖.

@Lilnonames Thanks
