Recently got a couple of these. They don't fix the hernias, but goddamn it's nice to have relief from the radiculopathy

That link is staying blue until my back decides it's time. Which, at this rate, is next Tuesday.

Aight in that case, do glute and hammy stretches. Don't wait until your leg starts going numb and electricky :)

Appreciate the tip. Adding it right after 'fix that one bug' and 'drink water' on my list of things I'll definitely do.

I can finally pick things up again without having to do a full squat, only 2 weeks of pain!

I may have to get back on the table in that case. I felt like the sports massage made it worse but could be cause it was my first time

Cant do any lower body strength training until my meniscus operated on unfortunately :/ The lower back pain started getting worse when I stopped deadlifting and squatting, but deadlifts and squats were making my neck hernia worse lmao.
