GM in their infinite wisdom during the restructuring in the late 2000's decided to drop their only two profitable car lines, Pontiac and Saturn. Jenius.

I had a Gran Prix back in the day that was a nice ride and then traded it in on an Olds Cutlass that I loved (and so did the chicks). I hated it when GM slashed both makes.

Thanks. I am seeing from McKenzie method others recommend that potentially i need to first confirm if I have a bulging disc before I do these type exercises. Right now it is seeming like I might so if I am tracking I need to get that sorted through different stretches before I progress to these otherwise I could just make it worse which I may have been doing.

How old are you?
Biggest mistake I see with McKenzie is trying to extend too much. At the point where you get relief then stop at that position. Don’t try to extend further. Facet joint arthritis is definitely a limiting factor.
The original McKenzie was based on disc injuries in 20 year olds so very few with arthritis. I find that in the presence of lumbar spine arthritis that extending too far can cause worsening pain.

99.5% of sciatica is from a disc injury without a doubt.
Due to insurance constraints, I send patients to therapy for McKenzie and then only get an MRI in the ones that don’t improve.
As only 5% truly need spine surgery, it’s an excellent first step in treatment.
If you can get a doc to prescribe a double Medrol dose pack then definitely add that to the therapy. I have found that the 12 day taper works better than the 6 day taper. Take the whole days worth with breakfast. Works better than spreading it out all day and significantly reduces the side effects.
Day 1: 6 pills
Day 2: 6 pills
Day 3: 5 pills
Day 4: 5 pills
Day 5: 4 pills
Day 6: 4 pills
Day 7: 3 pills
Day 8: 3 pills
Day 9: 2 pills
Day 10: 2 pills
Day 11: 1 pill
Day 12: 1 pill

The key to McKenzie is to do it at least twice per day every day without fail. I find that the static position works just as well as the dynamic position. Static position is easier to maintain.
Don’t stop when you feel all better. That’s the biggest mistake and setup to recurrent disc injury. If you stop at the end of pain, then the healing disc scar is as strong as a sheet of plywood. It’s okay until you become more active again, but it is easily re-injured. Continuing McKenzie twice daily for 4 months after the pain is gone will help you build a stronger scar that will be the equivalent of a double thick brick wall.

Hope that helps.

The Studio may be my favorite show in years. More to the comedy side than recent greats like White Lotus, Severance, or Succession.

Your Friends and Neighbors has been up there too.

Which team screwed up in the first round the worst? I didnt see much crying around social media, so I guess everyone at least did alright?

Every team screwed up for not picking Sanders if you listened to espn. It was a suck fest all night. Honestly kind of disrespectful to the players drafted. They would spend most of the time not talking about the player selected but on why the team didn’t but should have picked sanders.

As a fellow lower back injured person, hanging from a pull up bar has given me the best immediate relief if you haven’t tried that yet. I deal with bulging/herniated discs in my lower back and central stenosis and this helps me a lot.

Jags gave up ALOT for Hunter. He had better be worth it.

Cowboys took a Guard at 12 which generally is poor value for a top 15 pick.

2 teams took RBs which is always poor value in the first round if you ask me. It is just too easy to find a decent RB in the mid rounds or in FA. Ditto for the 2 teams that took TEs. These guys have to be elite at their positions to justify their draft slot.

The studio works in that it's actually very funny whereas WL, Sevvy, and succession are mostly dark comedies (dramedy) that don't lean into slapstick and setup-->punchline like the studio does. We need to bring back legit straight comedies in a big way because the studio is proving it works in this climate

Cowboys drafted their biggest need since McMillan got drafted by Carolina. Matthew Golden wasn't worth the 12th slot either.

Speaking of, I saw someone on twitter seriously trying to say Sanders not getting drafted was racially motivated....

as if everyone drafted ahead of him wasn't also black.

Don't think it is racially motivated but there seems to be some bias by people that don't like the sander family. I can't make up my mind whether Sanders is good or not.
