The Silverback

You should.

Can’t believe another season is almost here, nothing like it was during the heart of the Saban-era though. I still need to travel to BDS one day. Also got my toes painted crimson!

Inside is always painful as is It band-rolling. I typically roll each calf 15 minutes, alternating between shallow pressure and then deep pressure + extremely slow rolling.

Visited the firm today and thinking about applying. I know it’s a long shot, has anyone here ever worked there? I think it would be great given my long term goals.

I let one leg rest over the other and let it sink, so to speak. I like tungsten, hardened steel and others because of the sheer intensity. The pain is brilliant but simultaneously reliving (because I get mobility back, less pain afterwards).

I’ll try the foam-made roller.


Any other recommendations? And what is the ideal duration for rolling?

Does anyone here do calf rolling for recovery? How much has it helped you? And do you do it daily? I prefer it to be intense but I wish not to create scar-tissue. Heels have caused the calf muscles to become sore/painful.

They said to seek help for anxiety and take Propanolol (which was previously prescribed I hate the way it makes me feel).

I’m currently dealing with health anxiety that is slowly ruining my life and draining me of happiness.

In October, I had an EKG, nuclear stress test and an echocardiogram - I did extremely well on all of these (including the running portion of the nuclear stress test). Except I had some inflammation (per the Echo) and some slight compressions on the EKG.

I was the diagnosed with pericarditis (although it was so mild the doctor said I could still exercise daily).

I took prescribed meds for about 2 weeks after and the chest pains I’d been having disappeared.

That was in November. Early December, the chest pains returned but felt different.

I went to the ER (for precautionary reasons) in December and January - both times I had normal troponin, normal EKG, etc. They also did CRP and inflammatory markers during my Dec and Jan ER visits, everything was fine.

During my follow up with my cardiologist on December 31, we did an EKG and he listened to my heart - said I was fine and that what I’m feeling (the new chest pains) are either GI or musculoskeletal. Many nurses who’ve I’ve spoken to have said the same.

Further, during my ER visit in December they gave me a GI cocktail that relived me of all pains (including chest) for 12 hours. Said no signs of active pericarditis

I got a second option (second cardiologist) in January, he said more or less I’m fine and asked what it would take to get me over my fears (they took EKG and looked at work done for my December inflammation markers and said there’s nothing).

So it’s supposedly residual chest pains from chest wall sensitivity after dealing with acute pericarditis.

Problem is, I keep having chest pains (likely due to stress, anxiety and high blood pressure - which can cause heart-attack like sensations).

But I can’t stop thinking about what if my condition has returned and the doctors are missing it? What if I now have a new condition? Sorry this is so long.

If so, how was it? Does anyone know someone who’s worked at BlackRock?

Thanks

Extremely impressed with this team. Balanced, disciplined, physical and super efficient.

How do they compare against the Clemson teams we’ve played, 2011 and 2019 LSU, etc?

Who would you say is the best defense we’ve played, OU or Georgia? I know Georgia is very talented top to bottom but goodness OU is so aggressive
