Is that “20” grams of carbs?

 

[Trollus]

Yup 20 grams. It’s easier on work days I just bring jerky and eat that all day til dinner.

 

[Poppy]

Good on you brother

 

[Dirtnasty]

If your that low calories have a slice I always left enough calories each day for me to have a reeces cup when I was at 2100 cals

 

[Trollus]

I’m dealing with sciatic nerve pain and a bad knee so this might take a minute to build back up but I’m trying to be patient. Total fat was too high today lots of saturated fats. But I had to eat a frickin ribeye. I mean HAD TO. For my sanity.

 

[Bigmurph6]

The nerve is bad im dealing with it also it sucks.

 

[JLee]

If you have a tens unit it will help with sciatica. That’s what they use in physical therapy and you get them on Amazon pretty cheap.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Those electronic things help with sciatic nerve pain?
It doesn’t really hurt it burns hot and hurts I would really like some relief

 

[JLee]

That’s what they had me use in physical therapy when I aggravated mine and I believe that helped more then anything else. I bought one and use it all the time for my back. It won’t fix anything but it does offer some relief.

 

[Bigmurph6]

I appreciate the information brother I have looked into those devices before and never took the leap. I believe that I might actually have to get the non invasive surgery done but the tens unit might be something I have to end up buying because surgery is expensive

 

[JLee]

Pad placement is the key and be very careful not move them while it’s on. A 9 volt battery might not seem like much but you can definitely hurt yourself pretty good.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Its really a shock like getting tazed or is it something that hurts?
I just thought it was the smallest little jolt you have me worried im going to be shocking myself?

 

[Poppy]

My chiropractor uses one on me. I get it done once a month on my trouble areas. His adjustable…it can be turned up high enough where as your arm or shoulder starts to move involuntarily hahaha. They start low and you tell them stop at your comfort level.

 

[Bigmurph6]

That makes me feel a bit more comfortable about it I don’t like being shocked im not sure why but as long as im not feeling like im being shocked it would be ok but if im getting jolted im not sure that’s what I would want

 

[Poppy]

No jolt brother…more of a sensation.

 

[JLee]

You can adjust voltage and frequency. I have mine set to like pins and needles but like @Poppy said youll have to play around with what works for you.

 

[Poppy]

Pins and needles…thats a great description.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Im going to see if I can get a session with a machine before I buy one to see what its actually all about and if it will work.
