- Built-in Joomla! Extensions Finder as an onsite interface to the Joomla! Extensions Directory (that currently lists over 6,000 extensions) providing one-click extensions installation
- Increased security with strong passwords and two step authentication
- New rapid development framework for new extension coding
Joomla! 3.3
- <translate>
Joomla! 3.4
- Front-end Module Editing,

- Item counter (+ click through filter) in Category Manager
- Random category blog and list order view.</translate>
How long is each Joomla! version supported?
<translate> This page provides a summary of the current development strategy published on 25 April 2014. All Joomla versions released before 25 April 2014 have been developed according to previous release and support cycle. You should read the full text of the Joomla development strategy for a more detailed explanation. </translate>
<translate> Joomla! is developed following Semantic Versioning (2.0.0). The use of LTS (Long Term Support) and STS (Short Term Support) is no longer relevant or observed. The terms found directly below will be used for clarity. You should understand these terms and their meanings. </translate>
- supported - latest minor version(s) of a major version will receive patches which will include bug and security fixes
- current - the youngest or 'latest' major.x.x officially released version
- legacy - any major.minor.patch version(s) which are not the current version[1]
- stable - major version ready for use in a production environment implied with current and legacy[2]
- EOS - an acronym for 'end of support' which indicates no further patches will be released for bugs or security fixes
- EOL - an acronym for 'end of life' which indicates the same meaning as EOS[3]
<translate> Each major version of Joomla! is supported by The Joomla! ProjectTM for a limited amount of time, begenning from the initial date of its official release. Joomla will actively develop each major version for a minimum of 2 years. This may be followed by continued development of a major version as per scheduled on a major version's roadmap.[4] A short summary would be: </translate>
- each major version will have a minimum of 4 years of support
- you should always use or update to the latest major version's minor.patch
- each minor version update released is backwards compatible with the previous minor version of the same major version[5]
<translate> Please use the Joomla! CMS Development Roadmap or the Joomla! CMS versions chart to determine the estimated EOS (end of support) for each major.minor version(s) or the entire major version. </translate>
Version Numbering Explained
The version identifiers for Joomla follow a three level numerical convention where the levels are defined by the software change significance. </translate>
<translate> These 3 levels are defined as:
- An increment in the major version identifier indicates a break in backward compatibility.
- An increment in the minor version identifier indicates the addition of new features or a significant change to existing features.
- An increment in the patch version identifier indicates that bugs have been fixed.
You are using Joomla version 3.3.6. This means your version is major version 3, minor version 3, patch version 6. If a patch is released for 3.3.6, it would increase your Joomla version to 3.3.7. If a new minor version for major version 3 is released, your new Joomla version would become 3.4.0. This page will always show the current stable supported version of Joomla, including the minor and patch, in the top right corner. </translate>
I'm building a brand new site. Should I launch a Joomla! 2.5 site or a 3.x site?
<translate> Joomla! 2.5 reached EOS (end of support) the 31 Dec 2014. That means that since that day it will recieve no further attention or support from the Joomla! Project. No more maintenance or security releases. So you should not start a new site with Joomla! 2.5, but always Joomla! 3.3 or greater. </translate>
<translate> Sites that are currently on Joomla! 2.5 are encouraged to start planning now for a migration to 3.3 or greater now. We've provided a one-click upgrade from Joomla! 2.5 to any Joomla! 3 version and you just have to make sure that all your extensions and template are compatible with Joomla! 3.x before upgrading. See Planning for Mini-Migration - Joomla 2.5 to 3.x (See the "How do I find Joomla 3.x compatible extensions?" FAQ below for more information) </translate>
<translate> See also: Why Migrate and all the related pages.</translate>
If I launch a Joomla! 3 site, will I be able to install extensions?
<translate> Yes, you will be able to install extensions compatible with Joomla! 3.x. The Joomla! Extensions Directory™ (JED) will have a compatible icon to know which extensions are Joomla 3.x compatible; however, the best place to check is the developer's site. </translate>
How do I get a Joomla! 3.x template?
<translate> Template companies are offering Joomla! 3 templates at present, taking advantage of Joomla! 3's responsive design. Also, please note that some Joomla! 2.5 templates will work in Joomla! 3 without any issues or any changes needed, but some will not. It's best to consult with the template's developer on this. </translate>
How do I find Joomla! 3.x compatible extensions?
<translate> Visit Joomla! Extensions Directory™ (JED), which will have compatible icons to let you know which extensions are Joomla 3.x compatible; however, the best place to check is your extension developer's site. </translate>
Will my Joomla! 2.5 extensions work with Joomla! 3.x?
<translate> Extensions that are native to Joomla! 2.5 should work on Joomla! 3.0 with very little change, if any. Components and templates will need the most work, while modules and plugins should work without issue (assuming they do not use deprecated methods). Extensions that support Joomla! 2.5 and 1.5 in the same package will likely not work right away, until the developers update them for Joomla! 3 compatibility. </translate>
<translate> In short, it depends on the extension. The Joomla! Project has made the process relatively easy for most extensions, however for some extensions it's going to take some work. To be certain, let the developers of the extensions know that you want to use their extension on Joomla 3 and consult with their documentation. </translate>
What happens if I launch a Joomla! 3.x site, but the extension I want is for a 2.5 site?
<translate> You need to speak with the extension developer to see if they have plans to release that extension for Joomla! 3 in the immediate future. Developers do have to make some changes but how extensive they are depends on the extension.
Should I update from Joomla! 2.5 to 3.x?
<translate> In most cases, you will need to start planning on an upgrade to Joomla! 3.x ASAP. Joomla! 2.5 has reached EOS (end of support) as of December 31st of 2014. Joomla 3 is stable and should be the choice for production sites. </translate>
<translate> You will need to verify your template and components will work with Joomla! 3.x before upgrading. All core components are upgrade ready right now. </translate>
<translate> Please see Why Migrate for more details on migration from 2.5 to 3.x. </translate>
I have a 2.5 site and I see a that the Joomla! update manager lets me upgrade to 3.x; should I do it since it's letting me?
<translate> Not unless you're 1000% sure. By default, Joomla will not let you update to 3.x unless you activate the option within the Joomla! Update component (administrator >> Component >> Joomla! Update >> Options >> Update server >> Short Term Support). If for some reason you've changed this, and you'd like the updater to stop letting you upgrade, change the setting to Long Term Support. After making this change, you'll only receive updates for Joomla! 2.5. </translate>
<translate> Notice: You should not upgrade from Joomla! 2.5 to Joomla! 3.x unless you are certain that all of your additionally installed extensions (from third party developers), especially templates, are Joomla! 3.x ready or have a Joomla! 3.x version that you can upgrade to. You should only upgrade from 2.5 to 3.x on a development site not on your live site. See Why Migrate and follow the pages for more information on upgrading from 2.5 to 3.x. </translate>
What's next after Joomla 3.0?
<translate> Joomla! 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and more. Joomla's new development strategy is announced here, please read the full text of the development strategy for more information. </translate>
<translate> A quick summary, if you are using any version of Joomla! except Joomla 3.5.1, you should consider updating or migrating ASAP! There will no longer be a Long Term Support Version with a .5 designation. The latest version of Joomla is the Long Term Support Version. See Joomla! CMS versions for a listing of current and future releases. </translate>
<translate> Joomla! 1.5 has not been supported for since the end of 2012 and Joomla! 2.5 is EOS (end of support) since 31 Dec 2014. Simply, you should be using Joomla! 3.5.1. </translate>
Okay, I'm ready and want to upgrade. How do I do the upgrade?
- First, review the system requirements for Joomla! 3.x and make sure that your server environment meets those requirements.
- Second, make sure that all your extensions (especially, your templates) are Joomla 3.x compatible.
- Third, create a test site and test the upgrade on the test site first.
- Fourth, consult a trusted developer if you're not 100% certain about anything.
- Fifth, make a full backup of your site (files and database).
<translate> Once ready, go to the Joomla! Update component. Click on options and change the setting to Short Term Support. Save. You should be notified of the availability of Joomla! 3.x. Click the button to install. Clear your browser's cache to make sure you see the latest changes. That's it!
Finally, double check and make sure that everything is working properly. </translate>
<translate> See Planning for Mini-Migration - Joomla! 2.5 to 3.x and Joomla! 2.5 to 3.x Step by Step Migration for detailed instructions.
Note: On some hosts you may need to use alternative update methods such as using the extensions installer. </translate>
But what if I'm on Joomla 1.5. Will my site break? Do I migrate to 2.5 or the current version of 3?
<translate> The following are step by step instructions to migrate your 1.5 site to Joomla 3.x. While there are many ways to migrate your site, this will give you the basic procedure to follow.</translate>
<translate>== Intro == </translate>
<translate> The migration from Joomla! 1.5 to 3.x is a major migration. There are many changes in features and database tables between these two version. It is NOT a one-click update. You will be building/installing a fresh Joomla! 3 installation and then migrating (moving) your data into it. If you haven't already, you may want to start with the Self Assessment and Planning documents.</translate>
<translate> Let's first distinguish between Joomla Core data and third-party extension data. Joomla Core data (components) are:</translate>
- Categories
- Articles
- Menus
- Modules (core modules - not third-party)
- Banners
- Contacts
- Messaging
- Newsfeeds
- Redirect
- Search
- Smart Search
- Weblinks
<translate>== Step by Step == </translate> <translate> Moving Joomla core data is fairly straight-forward with the use of a migration tool. Everything else is a third-party extension or a custom built extension. This includes the template. Each third-party extension needs to be researched to determine if it's ready for Joomla 3.x and has a migration path or not. You may have done this in the planning process. If not, you will need to do it now. Some third-party extensions can be migrated with a third-party tool. Some cannot. Read. Research. Plan.</translate>
<translate> Since there are many ways to migrate data and each site is different, the exact steps are going to be slightly different for every site.</translate>
<translate>=== Prepare a Location for Joomla 3 === </translate>
- Make sure your server environment meets the technical specifications for Joomla! 3 before proceeding.</translate>
Note: If your host does not meet the technical requirements, you will need to change hosts. If you need to change hosts, then set up a new hosting account on a host that meets the technical specs and install your fresh Joomla 3.x site in the root of the server on a temporary domain. This will make it easier when it's time to go live. Alternatively, you can set up a development location on a local device (see below).</translate>
- <translate>
Create a new database and new user for your Joomla! 3.x site. Document the database name, database username and database password as you'll need it when you install Joomla 3</translate>.
<translate>=== Set up a Development Location === </translate> <translate>
- Create a testing site or build area to work in with one of the following:
- A subdomain
- A subdirectory
- A local device via WAMP, MAMP, LAMP, XAMPP.
- A new hosting account on a temporary domain in the root (if you would like to change hosts in the process of migration)
- Restoring a site on a local device. See Installing Joomla locally and Setting up your workstation for Joomla development.
- Restoring a site with Akeeba Backup (read the developer documentation or videos for how to restore a backup of an Akeeba Backup file).</translate>
- Install a fresh installation of the latest version of Joomla 3.x into your testing site location using your new database name and database username. (Get the latest version of Joomla! 3)</translate>
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL SAMPLE DATA!</translate>
- Run a backup of your Joomla 3 site. (Backup Basics for a Joomla! Web Site or see Suggested Tools)</translate>
<translate>=== Prepare Your Current 1.5 Site === </translate> <translate>
- On your 1.5 site, update it to the latest version 1.5.26 after backing it up.
- Empty the trash in the content manager (sections, categories, articles), menu manager, module manager.
- Clean up your sections, categories, articles, modules, menu items. Make sure they all have unique aliases. Empty the trash again if necessary.</translate>
NOTE: Sections no longer exist in Joomla 3. Sections become a parent Category. Categories become nested categories of the parent category.</translate>
- Notify users that any changes on the current site from this point forward will have to be reentered on the new site. For very complex migrations with changing data constantly, see this magazine article and this video.</translate>
<translate>=== Choose a migration tool === </translate> <translate>
- There are many migration tools. Some are free, some cost a bit of money. Some only migrate certain data. Some migrate more types of data than others.
- Each migration tool will have their own step by step documentation on how to move data (if they don't then don't use it). Some migration tools will require the 1.5 site and 3 site on the same server. If you're switching hosts, you will want to restore a *subdomain* of your 1.5 site on your new hosting account to pull the data from. Then kill it when you're done.
- Migration tools can be found at the Extension Directory.</translate>
- When you choose a tool, choose one that allows you to keep the ItemIDs the same in the migration process. This is necessary to keep your search engine ranking intact or you may have more redirects to do. More information on redirects follow.
- If you have a small site, you may want to do the migration manually. Create categories and articles and copy the html over into your new site. Then copy the image directory over. Keep the /stories directory or your image links will be broken until you fix each one.
- One of the migration tools (a free one) allows you to bring articles and only images associated with those articles over. This is helpful if your Media Manager is out of control.</translate>
<translate>=== Migration === </translate> <translate>
- Migrate all core data you want to move to Joomla 3.x. If your migration tool asks to move Sections and Categories, definitely do both. The conversion will happen to categories and nested categories automatically.
- Run the Database Fix by going to Extension Manager → Database and click the Fix button in the top toolbar.
- Install your new template or converted template so that you can see your content. See more about Template Considerations.</translate>
- Add new menus if the tool you chose to use didn't bring over menus. If you want to use split menus, set that up now.
- Add modules if the tool you chose to use didn't bring over modules. If the tool you chose to use did bring over modules, change the module positions to the positions in your new template if required so that your modules show up and you can see what you're working with.</translate>
- Check for duplicate alias issues and fix them.
- Check your internal links. If any are broken, fix them.
- Take a backup.
- Install other third-party extensions and configure them (like editors, Akeeba backup, slideshows, or plugins).

Grow Your Own Collection of Feared and Famous Meat-eating Plants!
This deluxe Carnivorous Creations kit has seeds from over 10 varieties of carnivorous plants, including the Cobra Plant, Venus Fly Trap, Pitcher Plant, Trumpet Plant and more.
You'll make your own authentic bog with the included peat planting mix, blue Swamp Rocks, three Bog Buddies and colorful decals!
This rare and unusual collection of plants will flourish for years in the specially designed terrarium with proper care and stratification.
Like all plants, carnivorous plants use the sun to produce energy through photosynthesis. However, these plants grow in peat bogs where there are no additional minerals or nutrients in the soil. Because of this, over time, carnivorous plants began to catch insects for food to get the much needed minerals and nutrients the peat around them lacked. After having acquired the skill of hunting, these carnivorous plants began to thrive.
The plants attract insects to their traps by producing a sweet odor. When small insects land on the plant, they touch tiny hairs that set off triggers and cause the trap to close making escape impossible. Each type of carnivorous plant traps their prey in a different way.
The famous Venus Fly Trap has jaw-like leaves that snap shut. The Hooded Pitcher Plant has downward facing spikes that prevent the insect from flying out. Some plants produce chemicals that dissolve the insect while other plants depend on bacteria and other microorganisms to help them digest. Once digested and absorbed, the insect becomes liquified nutrients that help the plant work and live.
Each Complete Kit Includes:

Health & Medical UnderGround >> Lets discuss disc issue's and treatments -
Member Since: 11/17/05
Posts: 6012
My problems - I've got 3 levels in my c-spine that are bulging, but only at the c5/c6 level is it touching the nerve. My lumbar issue is L5/S1 bulge - Basically I've got degenerative disc disease.
I have intermitent nerological problems with the c-spine, but rarely any with the lumbar bulge. Basically saying I only have pain, but it's like I'm a prisoner in my own body sometimes. I cannot sleep without medication or weed, and I cannot smoke weed due to my job.
Currently all I do is self massage with a thera-cane, cervical traction with a saunders unit, and mild stretching. Other than that I take opiates which relieve the burning pain like no other medicine. I've also got at my disposal Amrix, Flexeril, and Soma. The soma is the best of these 3 medicines, but does not relieve any pain, just sedates. I might add I've been through no less than 6 rounds of phys. therapy to no avail.
I'm curious to hear what you guys are doing to manage your back pain?
I also want to start taking schedule II drugs, but don't know who to see to get them. There's no need to fry my liver any more than I already have. I've been on Norco, same dosage for 3 years (3x per day, 10/325). I've proven I can be functional on these medicine(s). I've tried seeing a PM doctor last year but couldnt stand him and I dropped them. He did not seem to relate to my problem at all. I'm scared to be labeled as a seeker if I visit multiple doctors - it's really a rough fucking road because nobody can see what you're going through.
And I don't care if my life was in jeapordy, there's no fucking way anyone is sticking a needle in my spinal cord (the next standard course of treatment).
Because I have back problems from top to bottom, weight lifting causes me to lose sleep - Pretty much anything that agitates my muscles absolutely kills me when trying to sleep. If I could fast forward to 1 month out lifting, I think it might help tremendously. I'm softer than I've ever been and need to build up my core.

Oxycontin was the only thing that gave ANY relief to start off with.
The main thing that seems to alter the pain levels is how I sleep.
For the last 2 weeks I've slept on the carpet, flat on my back, with my legs up on the bed.
The cortico steroids helped the first tiem around as well, but I'm assuming you won't do that.

FatFrenchFry - Oxycontin was the only thing that gave ANY relief to start off with.
I know, I know, I just dunno how or who to see to get better medicine. I'm scared to death to be labled a seeker, don't know who to see, etc. I tried visiting a PM doctor and he just didnt seem to get that I'd been through the rounds of PT, etc. Some Asian guy with poor communication. Anyways,
Yes, I know what you mean about the sleep. Problem is I have a hard time sleeping unless the drugs are working. I will take oral steroids, but dude if it were life and death I wouldnt let them stick a needle in my spine. I damn near pass out getting a weeny little shot at the dentist. I'm terrified of needles.
I've heard about traction type treatments but don't know who to see for this either. I've got an appt. with an injection guy next week - Going to see what he says to do. I could probably stand a trigger point, but epidural style is out of the question.

The cortisone needle was much nicer than I thought it would be. First time I had it it did wonders. Took about 5 days before it started working though.
The next time it did nothing, which sucked. I asked the specialist and he pretty much said he had no idea why that would be.
Definately worth it if you get the results. Thing that sucks is, you never know until after it's done.
Don't know where you're from (I'm in Australia), but I've never had a problem getting pain meds (except in ED). I have a great relationship with my GP, and he could tell the level of pain I was in. Also helped that his bro had a similar issue.
I'm scared of becoming an addict after reading the thread here though.
Traction made mine worse. I guess you just have to try the different things.

Some exercises I found helped.
Gentle bouncing on an exercise ball. This is supposed to 'pump' the discs and accelerate healing.
Not sure if this helped or not, but I have a ball instead of a seat on the PC, so was no hassle.

Extensions. I think this is from the Alexander technique.
Started with the 'prone prop', could barely lift my head of the ground, any more and it irritated the nerve in my leg.
I've slowly increased the range over time.I do this for 5 minutes, 5 times a day.
Next the standing extensions. Mine was slightly modified as the disc was protruding sidewards, so I bent to the right before hand. Hard to explain, and don't do this, unless you know where it's pushing against the nerve, as it could irritate it (the sidewards movement, extensions should be fine).
This time around I'm not doing the prone push-up yet, as it's still too much, but I was doing this before it flared up again. I never got anywhere near the ROM the girl in the vid did though.

FatFrenchFry - The cortisone needle was much nicer than I thought it would be. First time I had it it did wonders. Took about 5 days before it started working though.From USA, where presription narcotic abuse is becoming an epidemic of sorts. All sorts of people seek and abuse these drugs. It's a damn shame as I have found, because legit CP patients have a tougher time and are scrutinized more and more. I've never been offered anything stronger than what I'm taking and I doubt my current doctor would be willing to prescribe. He's a family doctor and most family doctors do not want the DEA scrutiny. I need to find a good Pain Management doctor that understands and is willing to work with me. Most of these guys make their money doing injections which is why I feel fucked. I do not want a fucking needle inserted in or near my spinal cord. It's like my worst fear kind of thing.
Thanks for the vid's, I'll watch them for sure. I've heard of other procedures, more on the conservative side, similar to traction- Disc decompression procedures and such. I'm hoping someone who's had these things done will hop on here and see this.
Don't worry so much about becoming an addict unless you start using your medicine to feel good. Keep yourself in check - It's a tool, not the be all end all way to manage your pain (as I'm sure you know). The fact that it's a strong tool I'm very thankful.

I've done the prone-pop before and it doesnt seem to help much. Often times it flares my neck up which is probably why.

^^ The traction really helped my neck. That and icing helped with the neuro issues. Just make sure that device
doesnt move your neck the 'wrong way'.
I went to an injection doctor yesterday who diagnosed me with some controversial bullshit with my lower back. I'm not a happy camper right now. He's claiming the bulging disc (ive got cervical and lumbar bulges) isnt causing my lumbar guarding. I really liked the doctor, just not his diagnosis. Of course doctors must go by what they see. Anyways, no closer to a solution. I left there with more questions than answers. I'm going to give it another month and move on if needed.

Lumbar muscle guarding. All of your muscles tense.
No, I'm way worse than last week. That Chiropractor fucked me up. Both feet have been numb since last Tuesday. I've never really had to deal with this before - Don't know what he did, but I'm fucking livid that this doctor thought it would be a good idea to send me there.
I'm even more mad at myself, I should have known better.
Sorry, I don't feel like typing the whole story, but basically he thought the disc wasnt touching the nerve (not causing my lumbar problem). Sent me to be stretched out on special bed by chiro, dickfuck chiro thought it would be a good idea to adjust me - Now I'm having all sorts of problems I never had before. Thoracic pain, numbness in feet, major spasms in all parts of spine, etc etc.
I'm convinced it's the disc and the MRI isnt showing the l5/s1 bulge touching anything. What else could it be now? I mean, what's causing my feet to go numb when I sit down? He also gave me some medicine that fucked me up too. I could barely keep an erection on it ! Seriously. The medicine also bugged me out, made me sweaty and very anxious.
I'm more confused now than I've ever been. Whatever this Chiropractor did could be permanent. I had no clue he was going to try and adjust me. It happened so fast I couldnt say no. Basically I was just lying there being stretched and massaged then wham! The doctor who sent me there said nothing about adjustment. I also TOLD the fucking chiropractor NO JERKING ME AROUND. Damn I hope I recover from this. I've already gotten out of some of the extra pain he caused, but the numbness is stil here and has been daily. Dude I just want my old life back. I'm only 32 and I feel like I'm 52. Nobody can see the pain so they don't understand. My Primary Care Physician and my regular Physical Therapist are the only people who havent downplayed my problems to me. Basically, anyone who's actually touched my back. These guys who don't know you and just look at films / talk to you for 15 minutes don't seem to relate. Fuck the guy wouldnt even do an injection in to my levator muscle (the one that spasms so much).
Since Friday I've been exercising, doing yoga and stretching more than ever. I'm trying to get back to where I was. I just feel like I'm in for a life of medicine, doctor visits, and other bullshit no 32 year old should ever have to deal with. I see people living their lives, some of them wasting them, and I'm so jealous. Just want to be normal again bro..

Ok, I'll just type a bit more -
So the day of the Chiropractor visit I didnt feel horrible though my feet were numb when I left. I knew something was wrong. It wasnt until the next day that my whole back tensed up/spasm'd, etc.
I called and demanded they get me in to PT ASAP to try and at least get me back to where I was. I got in on Friday, Chiro visit was Tuesday - I lost about 10 hours of sleep both Wed/Thurs.
When the PT felt my back he said every muscle was 'super tight'. His exact words. He said some other muscle is so tight that it's pinching my sciatic nerve. I've had some numbness in the past, but nowhere near as bad as this and it was usually from exercise. Never, ever (in 8 years of back problems) has my right foot went numb. Both feet are numb. Forgive me for the jargon, I'm just so mad at the whole situation. I went to this PM doctor to consult about trigger point injections. I have no fucking clue why he thought I should go get even more fucked up. He also said the muscle relaxers I just started taking are horrible. He thought I should go to an anti-depressent called Cymbalta. It's fucking garbage, I took 7 doses of it to give it a chance and it does shit for my neck and back pain. It just makes me feel weird and I cannot get my dick hard. WTF?
I'd probably better add this - In no way shape or form did I ask for any narcotics from this guy. I didnt even hint at it. In fact, I've never asked for any kind of medicine except for my last doctor visit. I asked if I could try a different muscle relaxer because the one I previously took fucked me up too bad. Hard to get out of bed. They changed me to a MR called Soma, which is controlled, but I like it much better than Flexeril. The Flexeril leaves me with a bad pill hangover. The Soma is not nearly as bad but it's supposedly addictive. Fucking ridiculous - Like I actually want to be taking this shit. I've taken Zanaflex before and it dried me out really bad. MR's are pretty much garbage, but almost necesscary with all of the spasm problems.
What I was getting at by not asking for meds is this - He didnt seem to take my condition very seriously. So here I am with a 3 level bulge in my neck, c5/c6 being the worst, and a l5/s1 bulge in my lumbar spine. I'm losing fucking sleep on a weekly basis, some days are okay, some are not. I'm as weak as I've ever been and it's starting to affect many areas of my life (sleep loss is horrible as I'm sure you know), and this asshole doesnt want to do anything for me. Worst part is I actually thought he was a very nice man. He just downplayed my symptoms without actually even touching me. I'm sure when I go back and tell him this chiropractor made me worse he'll have some bullshit to say about it.
Forgive me for being so frustrated, but pain is the worst thing in the world to be treated for. Because it's a condition that cannot be seen, it's easy for a doctor to tell you that it's 'not that bad'. Surgery at my age is out of the question unless something horrible happens. I just don't see any way of fixing this problem. Thanks for listening.

Old thread is old, and I must admit i didn't read all of it, but I am 29 years old and I live in Norway.
When I was 18 I had an injury related to snow rugby that bended me double and I had terrible radiating pain down a leg. After 4-5 months of hobbling around and no improvement I had surgery.
I was 100% fine until I got another injury causing the other side (other leg) to get radiating pain, months passed and no improved, did another surgery. This was 4 years after.
Now I had a developing pain about 6-7 months ago that kept getting worse, and is now so bad I am having a third surgery.
Every time it has been different discs. My dad and my brother have also had surgery from debilitating sciatica.
Right, so I have a comment and a question.
It seems to me you guys in the US are SUPER trigger happy with Oxycontin. That is an absurdly powerful drug which is in fact not issued at all here in my country. I am using co-codamol, which is paracetamol(acetaminophen) and codeine, which is chicken shit compared to Oxycontin. Soooo many people get addicted to Oxys, I can't believe they give them to sciatica patients so frivolously. I can understand a desire to escape pain, and pain must be managed, but personally I get by with my weak codeine. Just saying. Must suck to get hooked on that stuff.
And secondly. I search the web all the time to read what others say about their surgeries and struggles with sciatica and discs. Almost all resources and posts are from the US. It seems to me you guys do not do so many surgeries.
You do:
1) Oxycontin
2) years and years and years of pain, drugs and countless hours and sessions of physio and stuff.
But the issues persist.
We do:
1) NSAID & co codamol
2) give it 3-4-5-6 months depending on impact on the patients quality of life
3) microsurgery
Which in most cases, as far as I can tell, in the vast majority is the end of the story, people get well from it.
It must be noted that both my dad and my brother are 100% fine since their operations, and that my problems are NOT recurring injuries, they are separate. The first two are different sides, and this third one is on a different level.
The surgery is simply... Go in, get dressed and iodined up, get anesthesized. Wake up slightly woozy, and go home. The next day you go for walks, sit down to eat...
I mean, god damn I can't imagine suffering for years and years when there is perfectly viable surgical options with very high success rates. Can't you get surgery?, is what my rambling post boils down to.

Oh, and the post by OP in that thread that was linked to had an issue in his neck, and appears to have had his entire disc removed and replaced with a synthetic one, which is way more intrusive than what I had/will have. I am sure it can be a good surgery too, I have read about it, but 6 weeks of wearing a hard collar is quite different from the scenario of the rather simple surgery I outlined in my case.

Well the only thing I take offense to is that you seem to not have read my post, because I wrote clearly I have myself had two surgeries that made me 100% pain free for 4-5 years each time. My injuries are on different sides and different levels.
If you can fix your pains with training and non-surgical options, that is by far the superior alternative.
But when faced with YEARS of pain, reduced quality of life and no improvement, surgery is an obvious answer.
So I dunno why you mention people you have spoken to, when I just told you guys my very positive experiences with surgery in detail.
I want to mention that prior to this new injury of mine, which I have accrued through family predisposition and loooong days of slouching over a desk in my studies, I trained squats, deadlifts, jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, soccer, floorball, swimming.. anything I wanted. I was 100% fine. Then I took a break from the jitz because my knee was painful, and during that break my back started going bad.
When I talk about surgery, I am NOT talking about the extreme ones where you fuse discs, or replace the discs with synthetic ones. I am talking about the surgery where they go in through microscopy and clear up the matter that has herniated.

Hey bro,
Things have gotten more complicated with my lumbar spine - Supposedly, and now I've had it confirmed by 3 doctors that the disc bulge is not causing my problems. I'm going to see a diagnotician tomorrow.
I'll have more time to reply to this after tomorrow.
2 things though - The erectile problems were from SNRI or SNRI type drugs - Cymbalta, Tramadol, Flexeril. Will never take again.
I do not take Oxycontin or Oxycodone. I take Norco, paramacetol/hydrocodone . Really this is as strong as a pain med as I need but I do not want to take APAP anymore. It's damaging to ones liver and there are no schedule 3 options other than painkillers that do not work as well. Nothing works as well as a narcotic as I'm sure you know. Takes most of the burn or 'raw' feeling away.
I'll tell you guys more tomorrow. Closer to finding an answer - There have been some good and bad this past month. When I wrote the above 'crazed' posts I had been injured by some dumbass who had no business putting his hands on me.

Ok, so today I went to a surgical group (supposedly one of the best in my state). This just keeps getting more interesting - Now, apparently, none of the discs are causing my problems. He ordered another cervical and lumbar MRI to make sure. WTF? I've seen multiple doctors about my neck and it's all the same - disc bulge.
I can speak frankly with you guys because there's nothing to gain here except for knowledge - I dunno what in the hell these guys think about me. I've never been one to run to the doctor until back problems - my quality of life is being greatly reduced. I dunno if they even believe me - I dunno what to think. Obviously MY doctor believes me because it's impossible to fake having back problems. My back does not feel like a normal back - Cervical and Lumbar muscles are guarding all of the time. Whatever the case it's moderate to severe pain. Both of my hands go numb and my left foot goes numb. I dunno how it cannot be the disc - Being treated for pain is the most difficult thing I've ever had to go through. I'm being nickled and dimed to death by medical bills, but if I do not deal with the ASAP, I may as well roll over and die.
I'm just dumbfounded at this entire situation. There must be an underlying cause - Especially with the lumbar problems. I've had it for too long. So, once again, I leave a Dr. visit with more questions than answers. If someone can ever figure out what in the hell is wrong with me, I swear I'm buying them a whore lol. It's unbelieveable that in 2012, it's so hard to diagnose a back problem. I can guaran-fucking-tee you if it were them they'd be finding a cause. This is no way to live...
The cervical issues are the disc - There's no doubt in my mind. I don't care what some fucking film says, it's classic disc bulge - I would bet a paycheck that when they finally figure out what's wrong with my low back, it's going to be some bone disorder or nerve problem. It hurts to bad 24/7 to be anything else. Cheers to good backs guys.

Well that book is like 10$, so it sounds like a great idea. You have issues with your neck and your lower back. Numbness in both arms and a leg. That's bad times indeed. Especially when you've been messing around with so many drugs and procedures and nothing seems to work.
Are you speaking to experts who have "seen it all"? Might be worth trying to get in touch with a true top tier neurologist, considering you've just about tried everything else.
You say your hands go numb, do you mean hands, or the entire arms? Any pain in the arms? What about the leg, do you have sciatic pain? Radiating to the shin, inner thigh, buttock, perhaps the instep or big toe..?
I have radiating pain that stops in the middle of my shin. I walked to the store today to pick up my prescription and some groceries. Carried two rather light bags home. Sweat was pouring off me by the time I got back, from tensing up so much to try and minimize the pain. I feel almost fine leaving the house, and it just gradually goes to shit.
So that's why I am having surgery.
Your problem seems more complex, because (sorry I might have missed it), your MRI didn't conclusively show the cause of the problem? Plus you have issues at several locations.
I listened to Loveline with dr. Drew for YEARS, and he mentioned quite often that patients with vague back issues with no immediately identifiable cause could be opiate addicts. You've touched on that many times, but... have you used opiates prior to the onset of the pain?
He went on to say, and this is interesting, that with opiates, often times even after the true cause of the pain has gone away, the brain has been rewired by the drugs to cause pain itself, to cause need for more drugs. I'm sure you have reflected on this.
Just seems so odd.. have surgery even been discussed for you?

- Broncos figure to put D.J. Williams to work quickly

- Broncos figure to work D.J. Williams into lineup quickly, creatively
Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams is a rebel without a clue. He hates on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, shows disdain for the Denver fans that pay his salary and picks fights with the media over ugly headlines written by his own hand.
So when Williams rejoins the team Sunday, are fans supposed to show him unconditional love?
"I hope sooner or later I can get back to the (starting) role I had previously, before I left. I realize it is going to be difficult just to jump back into that. I'm ready to go whenever they throw me out there," said Williams, an eight-year starter on the Denver defense, before his self-styled "Dyme Lyfe" resulted in a nine-game suspension.
Did the Broncos miss D.J.? Not really. His absence allowed teammate Wesley Woodyard to blossom into a worthy candidate for the Pro Bowl.
Williams wants Broncos Nation to believe he is a football martyr.
Remember that poster at his BBQ joint in Florida that warned not to serve Goodell food? Williams harbors contempt for Broncomaniacs whose $5 loss on an NFL game wager cannot possibly compare to the pain of the $5 million salary he blew with off-the-field mistakes. Williams blasts mainstream media for lack of sensitivity, while making a practice of objectifying women on his own Twitter account.
But here's the bottom line: Williams can help win games for a team with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations.
"He's a tremendous talent. Any time you can add talent like that and experience, it's definitely going to help our football team," veteran Denver cornerback Champ Bailey said. "He's the only guy on the team that's been here as long as me. So we're like brothers. I've been waiting for this moment all year, because I know he wants to be out there."
When No. 55 runs back on the field, how should the home crowd greet Williams, its wayward son?
Fans love the Broncos too much to boo.
So forgive Williams his mistakes and cheer.
It might even teach Williams that a man's heart was built for love, not hate.

|editGamahiro [1]
|ガマヒロ Gamahiro
|Volume #14, Chapter #124
|Naruto Episode #73
|Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie
|Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Game, Movie
|Voice Actors
|July 9
Gamahiro (ガマヒロ, Gamahiro) is a giant toad that resides on Mount Myōboku. He is sometimes referred to simply as Hiro (ヒロ, Hiro).
Gamahiro is a huge toad, easily towering over buildings and trees. He has an aquamarine skin tone and yellow eyes with grey markings around them and two distinct, circular markings on his shoulders. He also carries two huge katanas on his back, which are his main weapons with an orange sash around his stomach. In the anime in Part I, he was coloured brown.
Gamahiro wields two large swords with great proficiency, able to use them to easily dispatch his enemies. He has also shown aptitude in close-range taijutsu.
Part I
Invasion of Konoha Arc
During the Invasion of Konoha, as the Konoha-nin attempted to stave off Orochimaru's large snakes, but with very little luck, Jiraiya made his reappearance into the village, by summoning Gamahiro atop the snake. With his sheer size he crushes at least one of the snakes as soon as he lands on them.
Land of Rice Fields Arc
Jiraiya summoned him again later in the anime to help Sasame, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki escape from Orochimaru's hideout that was being destroyed.
Part II
Invasion of Pain Arc
Along with Gamaken, and Gamabunta, Gamahiro was summoned to assist in Naruto Uzumaki's fight with Pain. Upon Fukasaku's orders they engaged the Animal Path's summons. He initially attacked the ox with several damaging blows and then finished it with two precise strikes from his swords. When the Giant Multi-Headed Dog began to replicate after being attacked by Gamabunta, he fend them off until the Animal Path was incapacitated by Naruto, thus dispelling the summoned creatures. The three toads later engaged both the Deva Path and Preta Paths directly but they were sent flying beyond Konoha's borders by the Deva Path's Shinra Tensei technique after his power returned. After the battle, he is last seen lying at the bottom of a lake.[2]
Shinobi World War Arc
Gamahiro was later summoned to the battlefield by Naruto to crush a mutated White Zetsu Army clone.[3] Naruto then left him on lookout while he deployed his clones all over the battlefield.
Naruto 6: Road to Ninja
Main article: Naruto 6: Road to Ninja
- When Gamahiro first appears in the anime, he is coloured green and brown. This is updated to a teal colour for the Invasion of Pain Arc, keeping with the manga's colouration.
- In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 4, a miniature version of Gamahiro appears as a catchable toad that is called "Professor" due to his interest in geography and such. He wears a teacher's hat.
- Though first summoned in Part I, he was not named until he was summoned again in Part II.
- Though Gamahiro has spoken in the anime,[4] he has yet to do so in the manga.
- Gamahiro's name might come from the Japanese city of Hiroshima, which is where the Battles Without Honour and Humanity (仁義なき戦い, Jingi Naki Tatakai) series of films play and where Gamabunta's dialect comes from. Hiroshima is strongly connected to the Yakuza, if only through films.

Molly Weasley II
Revision as of 02:43, February 17, 2013 by 22.214.171.124 (Talk)
13,130pages on
this wiki
this wiki
Molly Weasley was the elder daughter of Percy and Audrey Weasley. She has a younger sister, Lucy. She is named after her paternal grandmother.[2]
Behind the scenes
- Her cousin, Lily Potter is also named after her paternal grandmother, Lily Evans.
- She is named after her grandmother, but Molly is also the middle name of her aunt (Percy's sister) Ginevra Molly Potter (née Weasley).
Molly is an English name of Irish origin, meaning "sea of bitterness," and is a diminutive form of Mary, with the Latin meaning "star of the sea".
Notes and references
- ↑ Percy´s family was present on Kings Cross in 2017. So, at least one of the children was probably ready to start at Hogwarts. Molly is the oldest daughter, so she's either in the same age as Albus Severus, who was born in 2006, or older than him.

The Ayatollah and the U.S. Embassy
It has long been the conceit of Iran specialists and political commentators that Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was not informed that militant students intended to take over the U.S. embassy in Iran in 1979. The Western intelligentsia has vouched for the Islamic Republic and claimed that the hostage crisis was a product of an internal power struggle. It was not about America, but rather about a revolution sorting itself out. As such, the hostage drama should not stand in the way of a rapprochement between the two nations.

We get a train ticket to Kutn� Hora and leave. Outside Prague everything becomes colourless. It seems like the angels used a grey pallette when they painted the landscape . Occassionally rays of sunlight break through the clouds, spilling warm colour over our faces, the trees, fields, and settlements. W
We get off the train at the right station. We don't know where to go. There's other tourists. We just follow them.
An English couple knows the way. We try to make a conversation. But it doesn't work. Traveling together as a couple, you don't need to make any acquaintances. you will never meet again, so why pretend?
Details about the bone church in Sedlec
We find the church and enter. It is like entering a cave. Going downstairs, there are bones everywhere. The entire inside of the church is decorated with bones. The church itself, however, is made out of stone. Slight disappointed creeps into my ind. I expected the entire church to be made of bones. I have wrong information, as I think about it, it would be impossible to have a church made fully out of bones.
The place is interesting anyway. I'm reminded of the catacombs of the monastery in Lima. Underneath the earth all there are hundreds of thousands of, millions of, bones. Bones, bones, bones. Bones everywhere. This church is cute. Small and a lot of detail. We take about one hundred pictures.
I ask the guard whether they had problems with the restauration. No problems. Bones don't fall apart and always stay the same. The bones should to remind the faithful believers of mortality. Everybody has to die one day, no matter how rich or important, how boring or successful you become.
Catching a train back to Prague, we leave again. It is a grey day. Now the sun is setting. my lungs feel particular. I sense a fire inside of them. I don't know where it comes from.
We arrive at the Prague main stations and buy the tickets to Vienna. Then continue to explore the city, walk around everywhere.
At the hostel we ask the page where the trains to Vienna are leaving from. He points out a train station on the map and tells us how to get there. We follow his direction, but when we enter the train station, we find it deserted. No people. No trains. The next train is leaving only in the morning. We turn back to ask the young information guy. He seems to be drunk or high. He needs a while to form a word on his lips. Sounds are leaving his mouth. After a lengthy while he tells us that this is the wrong train station. We ask him how to get back now. He replies with a smile that there are no more subways and he doesn't know any other means. He tries to talk us into going by tram. At this point we have twenty minutes left until our train leaves and we know that there are no trams anymore.
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------
Although it is expensive, we go outside the train station and take a taxi. The driver serves us with delight. He knows a few words in every language. He asks me about the Oktoberfest and other things in German. In the next moment he inquires of Baidi something about MAO. Occassionaly he looks up front in order to see how the traffic is on the road. A very funny guy. A very corpulent guy. His face is coated with a full beard. His hair is oily, his laugh wide and loud in the grant red face. Driving us directly to the entrance of the train station, he takes away all our unease. After negotiating and pressing the price down, we rush upstairs to the gates. Our train is waiting for us.
One part is going to slovakia. The other to Austria. Which one is the right one? We just enter.

A week after a local district attorney said he would begin cracking down on illegal gaming, police have followed up.
Jacksonville Police said on Saturday night, they checked in on a local business that had spurred a lot of complaints about illegal gambling.
Investigators said they found four gaming machines and cash at the Cardinal Lounge, located at 1832 Gum Branch Road.
42-year-old Kimberly Reust was cited for possession of gambling machines.
Early in April, District Attorney Ernie Lee met with local law enforcement encouraging them to pursue illegal gambling establishments in compliance with the law.
Cumberland and Wake counties launched a crackdown of the businesses after the North Carolina Supreme Court upheld the 2010 law banning sweepstakes games late last year.
