Sitting all day kills my back. If you sit in the back you might be able to stand some if needed. Hope it is interesting. 🤔
Water. Not super interesting. First 3 classes were Advanced Water Purification classes.

spinal or muscular? if muscular they have lidocaine patches that might help. if swelling from herniated disc, they said ice to reduce swelling, then heat to loosen. ice was just too cold though. supposedly epsom salt baths absorb too. but hey, mines still hurting so there's that.
I've been using Lidocaine, Flexeril, and ibuprofen 800s. So far nothing even dulls the pain BUT the Flexeril does help keep the spasms away.

Does anyone know where I need to accept cookies?
Hopefully you got an answer to this. I'm not sure it's your problem but it sounds like something is deleting your login info which is usually a cookie or cache issue.

How to fix it though, I don't know. Sorry.

@Gumbies R Us or @AlyciaMarie ?

Morning Tim !
Hope your feeling better .
Somewhat maybe but not entirely for sure. Using a cane today instead of a walker so that's an improvement. I can walk about a 1/4 mile before I have to stop and lean on the cane for a minute.

My husband was a water hydrologist once. Boring 🥱 Sorry. But it does make it easier to get his help.
I'm in Municipal Water. I oversee the potable (drinking) water side at a small city out here.
