Amazon is only worth a trillion dollars, so they're putting their resources, such as lack of brain power, elsewhere. Like falsely suspending (read, not Stax) so many people in the past 2 weeks. :p
whattt??? who?

I just saw somewhere today that there were a lot of suspensions going around. What gives? People doing dumb shit, or just Amazon being turdy?
I think that stupid extension has played a part, but I wouldn't consider that to be cause for a false suspension. I've had ~12 people PM me in the past two weeks, and the large majority of them had the ban removed the following day... I even had a requester PM me yesterday, so I'm interested to see how that turns out. I think Amazon just decided to drop the ban hammer on anyone using something remotely similar to what Stax offers/offered. However.. since they've been removing the ban on legitimate workers so quickly, it makes me wonder why they're not actually checking if the person is botting/scamming/whatever.

Same thing with the steroids, I've done 2 rounds and it didn't do anything either time. Now I'm in an elbow brace and it helped for a few days, but now it's 10x worse. It's burning pain from my shoulder to my pinkie and ring finger, with occasional pins and needles and numbness in my fingers. I have a referral for physical therapy, but I can't do that because I don't have a way there or a babysitter. I have my first ever appointment with a chiro on Monday, so we'll see if that helps any. I hope it does, because right now I can't wash my dishes, give my son a bath, grip a pencil, etc. It sucks. Hopefully yours gets better soon too :hug:
Can you schedule your physical therapy around the same time as the chiro?

Do you know if it has to do with muscles tensing up around your nerves? I've got some fiddly nonsense with my back/shoulders/hands and I use a Tens unit every so often when it's bad. Helps a lot.

I don't really know :( my doctor didn't really say much about it other than 'take these steroids and go to physical therapy'. but the pain is so bad most of the time I have a hard time staying focused on what I'm thinking/doing...and I have a somewhat high pain tolerance.

Well if and when you get to a doc who is going to explain stuff to you (sorry I'm sure your doc is a fine guy but I really hate how little really gets explained at most doctors offices!) ask if they think a Tens unit will help. They use it in PT a lot (which is how I discovered it helps me!) and you can order them off Amazon now really crazy cheaply.

Wow, I'm so sad that subreddit isn't active.
I once saw a sub reddit where a guy said he was in college walked into a dorm and a girl he'd never seen before was shitting on his roommates pillow.

Yeahhh this doc isn't even technically a doc, this office only has APRNs, but there are no other dr offices in my area that are taking new patients with my insurance. My boyfriend and mom are telling me I should ask for a referral to a specialist, but idk what good that would do other than 'go to physical therapy' again

I went to physical therapy after I had my tendon surgery...the tendon that is under my ass mind you..I had just started to walk again and this lady basically without telling me what she was doing, touches my ass and the back of my leg I about jumped off the table. It's like tell me when you are gonna do that lady I get a little antsy about my incision being messed up.

Well for what it's worth, getting a good doc to look at it and getting into good PT might help in the long run. I don't have what you've got, but I've got other stupid crap and I sort of just... learned what they did in PT and now do it on my own regularly. I only really notice the issues when I've been lazy in how I'm typing (And how much) and when I haven't been doing yoga and stretching out my muscles. Either way, a specialist won't hurt, but you're way too young to just be like "I guess this is me now!" (Tried to find a Jim Jefferies gif of him saying that but could not, bummer)
