Just an update, icing my back, got a pack on my neck. Thanks for the feedback. For the record, this really hasn't been an issue most of my life, I've been hurt a lot skating and snowboarding but I always walked away and just was able to deal with it. I guess maybe things are adding up and I gotta pursue actual treatments. My boss told me to see and doctor and get on muscle relaxers, but fuck that shit. Id prefer to do what I can and avoid that garbage, pain killers, etc. its just not a solution. I don't wanna be crippled by compensation from meds, its just temporary relief at that point.

I started with a trainer that I'm paying for, its been a very slow start. I'm literally easing into it. I havent dont anything I wasnt comfortable with and I've been very honest about when I felt like I was overdoing it. With that in mind, this stupid ass entertainment center wasn't much, I used to haul heavier stuff back when I worked at this same exact place when I was working in their warehouse. At this point idk if its just bad luck for me or tension being built up over time, but perhaps I am overdoing it with the deadlifting, it just seems so odd that this thing got me so messed up.

It feels like its just muscle spasms, I do plan on getting checked out asap from a clinic. I do agree I gotta slow down, just thought maybe considering how much I invested in my fitness over the years, things would had been better. The only thing that seemed off the last few years was my hands, but considering my previous background in art and of course gaming that came across normal.

35 an hour on call for 8 hours is pretty good, however yea its a shitty job if you cant handle it emotionally and to be fair, with respect to a critical sense of smell. Florida has a lot of retired elderly and my area alone has people passing away constantly. Its not for the weak of heart, but considering my feelings towards the subject, I think I can handle the grief and its territory. Its a sad subject. A decent family member of mine introduced me to the field, he is a anesthesiologist and during his later years of school was a ambulance driver. Kinda want to see myself as something similar in his shoes, IMO its not even remotely close but its a job.

Edit: for the record, that rate is for night shift hours, 45 hours a week. I'm pretty much making a transition out of comp because its a solid career for me long term. Its the reason I've slowed down the last two months and picked up handling ultiduo as a UGC admin. Its been a hard transition for me, It kinda just in the end falls into the title of this thread.

going to my chiropractor today, idk if thats going to make a difference or not

yea that might help now but I I'm tryin to figure out what I gotta do for something long term.

I do stretches each morning, I got a routine setup before working out, its usually been pretty good, I feel like I've lifted way more then what I did this morning, idk if its just built up strain, or I didnt do something right before hauling this thing in, I'm doing everything my trainer told me and just seems so offbeat.

I turned 34 back in June. Used to skateboard, snowboard, did a lot between my teens and 20's. I threw out my back this morning trying to move a entertainment center I got from a thrift shop, I feel so messed up. Idk whats up, I'm in decent shape IMO, I kept myself pretty tight each day after I stopped skating, snowboarding, was kinda forced to end that after I moved to Florida, I did small runs each day, watched my weight, etc. Recently I got into dead lifting the last 3 months because I wanted to pursue a job as a body removal technician, that requires a lot. Idk if I'm over doing it, I felt like I was better off before I started focusing on work.

Anyone else dealing with this? I typed this up in bed and I literally cant use the bathroom right now without holding a wall, usually I'm good with heavy work and this is just such a surprise for me. I cant even sleep on my sides without muscle spasms. Usually I do sleep like that, I cant really fall asleep on my back and I'm stuck feeling like I'm gunna go back and forth between rem sleep and waking dreams.

I dont thing rebranding a team that sided with germany during world war 1 is going to generate long term success bud

dumb-ster post

With that in mind, apparently we got dev's or to be realistic an additional person interested in working on tf2. Hopefully one or two more people can pick up on the work Eric is just handling himself at this point.

just interested in watching that player count spike and then slowly dwindle on the charts

banning this dude is one thing, but making a cup to fuck with a div isn't the right answer.
