Back Pain Pregnancy back pain plus bowel disease making work especially hard.How do people cope?
I’m only 19 months pregnant and I’m already suffering from bad back pain. I also have Ulcerative Colitis that is making life/work so much harder. How do women cope? Do you just carry on and try to be tough or get a doctor to sign you off work?
Pregnant women tend to suffer more back pains because of hormonal changes. Even constipation can be experience during pregnancy.
In your case, it is indeed very risky, I think you need to consult your OBGYNE regarding your pregnancy. it is important to know the right medication for you. You have to take care of yourself in as much as you take care of your baby.
Some pregnant women use belly belt and there is another one that is in demand to help relieve back pain the Posture brace corrector. It can be worn under your shirt and very easy to use.
Back Pain
37 weeks pregnant and experiencing lower back pain with diarrhea. Could this be the start of labor?
I’ve had severe diarrhea and terrible lower back pain all morning. It’s a very consistent dull pain. I am 37 weeks. Could this be the start of labor?
Sounds like it! Diarrhea is very common right before or at the start of labor because your body naturally kind of cleans itself out to allow the baby to pass through more easily. Lower back pain is also very common, depending on how the baby is lying. Just be sure to pay attention to contractions that get consistently stronger and closer together, and of course if your water breaks call your doc or go in right away. Good luck!
Leg Foot ladies when you get you legs&feet rubbed by your man, how do you react to him during or after foot/leg rub?
I Really love giving my lady a leg/foot rub, it is sexy and arousing how do you ladies feel?
They’re relaxing and enjoyable…
Leg Foot
why cant you walk when your foot/leg is asleep?
I jumped out of the car and hit the ground, because i didn’t realize my foot was asleep. it didn’t sting, or hurt. it just felt dead. i tried to get up and keep walking but kept on stumbling and falling down. i had to lean on the car to wait for the feeling to come back.
why cant you still walk with no feeling in your leg?
because there is no blood flow, meaning there is no oxygen to your muscles, meaning you have no muscle control. if you rub it to increase and encourage the blood flow, feeling should come back sooner rather than later!

Where can I buy a facial massager?
It’s my mom’s birthday coming up soon, and she’s really looking to replace an old face massager kit we used to have (it included attachments for massage as well as manicures, etc.) It was an old, old kit, but was made by Philips. I was wondering if there are any other kits similar to this one that I could get? And what store would I even go to buy this? Pharmacy? Tech Store?
Thanks!!
Amazon.com for her face get her the Clarisonic OMG! She will love it!!! It’s for facial and body…as far as manicure systems amazon should have them as well just type in “manicure systems”

Spa Skin I am interested in starting up a small business skin spa like medspa or skin solutions?
There would be more to it than just a small business start up. What would be my first steps?
Would a franchise be the way to go or something of my own?
Create a Business Plan before you do anything: Many on line sites and books on how to write a business. Most businesses fail in thier first year because the owners do not have all of the skills they need to be successful also because the owners did not realize howmuhc money they were going to need (remember you have to live while your business grows)
Research other spas in the area. Find out where they are, what they offer, how much they charge. Talk to some of the owners – most will talk to you about their business.
Many colleges have classes in small business – may take a class. Learn accounting and finance – learn Marketing and Sales.
Assess your strengths and weaknesses – be honest – if your weak in an area like accounting, you will need an accountant to help you.
Check into what local licenses you will need. There is a million details to work through – amke a list of everything you can think of – read books about small business.
It is not easy but can be very rewarding.
Good luck
Spa Skin
Has anyone been to Skin Health Spa in Machester? What did you think about yout treatment?
So there’s a seat Cushion Massager (for your car) that I’m selling on ebay. The box it comes in is 20x16x9. I realised that to fit this box into another box (Post office says I can’t ship the box with product info and advertising all over it) I’ll need a pretty big box and it’s going to cost me a lot more than I thought it would.
THe bidding isn’t over yet and there is one bid and one person watching the item. Do I:
* Ask the guy if it’s alright that he doesn’t get the original box (this way I can mail the contents of the original box for what I am actually charging for shipping)?
or
*Cancel the item altogether
Okay, thanks. I emailed him to let him know what was going on/see what he wants to do.
couldn’t you wrap it that brown paper, that way you won’t have to add to the size, the guy gets the box and no one is mad at you for adding extrat fees, you don’t want negative feedback, a lot of people are not very understanding on ebay. good luck:)
Massager Shipping
Aneros in China?
I am looking to purchase 2 aneros massagers for my partner and I this Christmas. We live in Beijing and I was wondering if there are any suppliers in China that sell them as opposed to ordering them and having them shipped from Britain?
After a couple weeks, my arches start to get a little swollen and just ache. If I stay off of them when they get like this, and get up to say…get a glass of water they hurt SO bad to walk on!
I have this foot massager that gets warm. I use that for about an hour or so and they feel great afterwards. Swelling goes down, etc. Then it gets bad again in 5-7 weeks.
I don’t have health coverage so please don’t say “Go to the doctor” obviously, if I could I would have by now.
Is there an insole or shoe I can buy that would help? I’m not really on my feet that much so I don’t understand why they’d hurt like this.
Sounds like plantar fasciitis.
“Why did I get plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs because of irritation to the thick ligamentous connective tissue that runs from the heel bone to the ball of the foot. This strong and tight tissue contributes to maintaining the arch of the foot. It is also one of the major transmitters of weight across the foot as you walk or run. Therefore, the stress placed on the this tissue is tremendous.
When a patient has plantar fasciitis, the connective tissue that forms the arch of the foot becomes inflamed (tendonitis) and degenerative (tendinosis)–these abnormalities cause plantar fasciitis and can make normal activities quite painful.
Symptoms of plantar fasciitis are typically worsened early in the morning after sleep. At that time, the arch tissue is tight and simple movements stretch the contracted tissue. As you begin to loosen the foot, the pain usually subsides, but often returns with prolonged standing or walking. ”
What can you do? Ideally see a podiatrist to check if you need orthotics to correct any structural issues in your feet.
But things for free or on the cheap as you have no health cover:
* Stretch the ligaments in your calves (repeat for weeks / months) – eases the stress on the ligaments in the foot as they are pulled upwards.
* If you are over-weight try to lose some weight – less stress on the feet and ligaments.
* wear supportive shoes with arch supports – but make sure the arch supports have a soft cushioned top on them – add a inner-sole to your shoes. If the plantar fasciitis ligament is really tight, it will just hurt more if pressed directly against an arch support – so allow it some space to stretch while your arch is still supported.
Warmer Massager
EXTREMELY sore…. please help.?
so i had to work out yesterday (practice for 4 hours)
and the dance i was teaching had a TON of squats and stuff.
well i havent worked out that intensely and that long in a while.
so i was really sore.
and today i could barely walk (my friend compared me to a duck!) and going up and down stairs… yeah that would be a NO! it’s like i cant really control my muscles they act on their own and they resist.
what can i do to make my muscles (front of thighs) get better? i have massaged it with a back massager thing (helped some), taken a warm bath (didn’t help), and stretched (helped some). it seems that the more i relax (like sitting and laying down) the more stiff my muscle become.
what can i do??? they aren’t really sore that much. just i have a hard time bending i guess and the muscles are tight and seem to resist movement.
thanks
(also it’s the front of my thighs that hurt. i dont know if i already said that)
Drink alot of water and ice the sorest muscles.. also lightly strech the muscles about 3 times a day for 30 second to a minute each time. hope this helps =]
Cushion Heat Where can I buy a heated seat cushion/cover for a car?
I found lots of them online, including Amazon and Target.com but with it being so close to Christmas I need to actually go to a store and buy one, but looking at places like Walmart, Bed&Bath, etc. is getting me nowhere. I went to an auto parts store and they just had regular covers. HELP!
i got 1 at (wal-mart)

How to clean nylon cushions?
I recently found an old rocking chair in my parent’s attic. They said I could have it, but I wanted to clean it before use. It’s wooden, but has nylon cushions on the seat, the back, and on the ottoman. The chair’s at least 15 years old, and has been in the attic (exposed to cold and heat) for about a decade. I was wondering how to clean it while causing as little damage as possible. I would also like to clean the wood, but I’m not sure what kind of wood it is; or if that even matters.
Best bet is to use a carpet cleaner with upolstery attachments. Nylon will not stain, as a rule, so keep it light (do not soak cushions! If all the dirt doesn’t come up the first time, repeat after the cloth has dried from the first round. The rocker has a finish on it, so a damp rag should clean up the wood part. Use only water on the cushions…soapy solutions will attract dirt after it dries. Good luck
Thick Massage is it true that if u shave off your peach fuzz every day and massage it, thick facial hair will grow?
Nope. Hair is dead. Cutting a dead hair does not affect the live follicle in any way.
Hair can LOOK thicker as it grows in after shaving, but that’s just because it’s all one length and bristly from being shaved. And that’s not likely to be relevant to you anyway if all you have is peach fuzz.
Your facial hair will come in on its own schedule, regardless of whether you shave or not.

Where Can I Find a Hot Water Pillow?
I recently had a massage and when I got onto the table, there was a “hot water pillow” about the size of a throw pillow on the table. My best friend has cancer, and is in tremendous pain – particularly her lower back. I immediately thought of this hot water pillow for her – its not thick like a regular pillow, and the buoyancy of the water may be soothing for her. I’ve searched the internet and am coming up with nothing. Does anyone have any idea where I can find something like this? Thanks so much for your answers. I appreciate it.
sounds like something that would help me too. i would call a local hospital equipment store and ask them about it, or call where u got the massage and ask where they are being sold.
i sure hope you can find one. sorry about your friend having cancer. i am surprized that they dont have one of those special water mattresses for your friend…..they are covered my insurance i understand. they really help relieve the pressure and pain and help keep from getting the bed sores from not moving around much.
HEAD MASSAGE FOR A LADY THAT HAS A LONG THICK HAIR ( PART 1)-SWITCHSCISSORS
Do you think think there would be less illegal immigrant population in the U.S if we put an automatic infrared machine gun on the border? shoot anything that moves and gives off heat? Do you think the U.S should not let illegals work without proper identity? Do you think the U.S should declare war on Mexico?
Please don’t get this wrong this is just a survey poll
How do I feel?? I get called the next Hitler. Well duh there would be less if we did put automatic infrared machine guns on the border but thats a waste of resourses. They want to work here, so lets set up a labor camp and they can work. I’m not saying making them live like slaves but not treat them nicely either. I say we build a giant labor camp and put all the illegals who try to get over to america and make them work! It won’t take jobs away from america no they can make bricks or do triival stuff like that. Them we hire Americans to keep them in line! Call me a communist or what you want but thats how i feel =) No, no war at least not yet. An no not work outside the labor camp
