Article: If you are having problems and no method has worked, you might consider seeing a physical therapist. She can give you specialized stretches and exercises that aid in healing a pinched nerve. Certain exercises relieve the pressure on the pinched nerve, helping to reduce pain. Many of the stretches used in this healing process must be done with a trained professional or partner, so don't do them on your own. As time goes on, your physical therapist may give you additional exercises that can be done on your own. Don't do any of the exercises alone unless she tells you to do so. This treatment, used mainly in treating a pinched sciatic nerve, can alleviate pain and help to heal the nerve. It involves a steroid shot to the spine and can only be injected by a doctor.  After being evaluated by your doctor for the degree and type of pinched nerve you have, she  may discuss this option with you. Epidural steroid injections can be a quick and effective means of getting relief from your pain. When this procedure is performed by a trained medical professional, any side effects and dangers are considered remote. However, rare side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, backache, and bleeding from the site of injection. For significant pain or symptoms that are not improved with other treatments, surgery on the pinched nerve may be the best treatment. The surgery may be to relieve pressure or to remove the part of the area that is pinching the nerve. Surgery usually provides relief after recovery. Recurrence of the pinched nerve may occur but is typically rare.  A pinched nerve in the wrist may involve cutting muscle tissue to alleviate pressure in the area. Pinched nerves caused by a herniated disc may be corrected by removing part or all of the disc, followed by spinal stabilization. Even after symptoms have subsided, it is important to continue to properly exercise, maintain proper body mechanics and good posture, and avoid previously discussed risk factors. Recovery from pinched nerves will depend on a number of factors including the degree of nerve impingement, maintenance of a treatment regimen, and any underlying disease processes. Full recovery is common in pinched nerves in the back. Acute low back pain caused by pinched nerves usually subsides within about 6 weeks of targeted care in 90% of individuals. Most pinched nerves will recover completely and, in most individuals, symptoms will be get better with proper treatment.  To prevent re-injury, avoid any repetitive motions that have previously caused pinched nerves. The most important thing you can do is to listen to your body.  If a movement begins to cause discomfort or symptoms of a pinched nerve appear, stop what you are doing at the time and allow the affected area to recover.  Talk with your doctor about a plan and regimen to properly care for and balance the use, rest, and isolation of your previously affected nerve. The use of a brace as a preventive measure before a nerve is pinched can help.

Problem: Article: Potting mix, which is often a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite, will generally yield better results for potted plants because of its superior drainage. If your container doesn't have drainage holes, you can drill 3-4 of them into the bottom of the container. You can also find soil specifically for cuttings at most home improvement stores. This is to make sure the cuttings have water available immediately once they are in their container. Water until the soil is moist, but not soaked. Creating a hole before you insert your cutting ensures your cutting won't be bent or snapped when it's inserted into the soil. You can also use a knitting needle or your own finger if you don't have a pencil or a chopstick. Ensure that the leaves are not buried, and that the plant is stable enough to stand upright. It's best to plant just below a leaf break, where two leaves shoot off in opposite directions. You can plant several cuttings in a single container, but be careful not to overcrowd the pot. For a medium-sized container about 8 inches (20 cm) across, 5-6 cuttings will fill the pot with enough room to grow. Place the pot with your cuttings into a large, clear plastic bag, secure the bag with a rubber band. Place the pot away from the window in an area that gets plenty of sunlight, so that moisture becomes trapped in the bag for the plants to use for photosynthesis. Be sure to cut small holes or leave part of the bag outside of the rubber band to allow air to flow. Make sure the soil in the container is moist, but not soaked, at all times. Don't let the soil dry out. Regularly check the bottom of the container for any roots. If any of them begin to look unhealthy, remove them from the container. Check the drainage holes at the bottom of the container for visible roots once per week. Once the cuttings are growing rapidly or roots appear at the bottom of the container, you can dig up and transplant each cutting to separate containers. When transplanting, be gentle when lifting the plant from the container, preserving as many roots as possible. Add more potting soil to the new container and place it in a sunny area. Transplant again when the roots fill the pot.
Summary: Fill a drainable container with potting soil. Water the soil in the container before you plant the cuttings. Use a pencil or a chopstick to make holes in the soil. Insert cuttings into their individual holes. Cover the container with a plastic bag to seal in moisture. Water and monitor your cuttings. Transplant cuttings to individual containers when roots become visible.

Poke each potato with a fork a few times. This will help them cook in the microwave. on high until they're cooked through. Wrap the potatoes in a wet paper towel and microwave them. It takes about 5 minutes to microwave a single potato, and about 10 minutes to microwave 3 potatoes. Place several potatoes on a plate at a time and keep checking to see when the potatoes are baked through by poking them with a fork. Take off the wet paper towel and wait for them to cool. Use a sturdy spoon to scrape out the inside of the potato, leaving only the skin and a thin layer of potato. If you scrape out the insides too much, you can tear the skin of the potato, which will make it more difficult for the potato to hold the ingredients later. Combine 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese, 1 bunch of diced green onions, and 4 tablespoon (59.1 ml). bacon bits with the potato insides in a bowl. Stir well until the ingredients are blended. Add salt and pepper to the mixture to taste. This will let them get a bit crisp. Bake the potato skins and insides together in the oven for at least 20 minutes. Check on them to make sure that the cheddar cheese doesn't burn. When they're ready, the skins will be nice and crispy and the insides will be tasty and brown. Remove the skins from the oven and let them cool for at least 5 minutes. Then serve them with either 1 cup of sour cream on the side, or with a dollop of sour cream on each potato skin. They're also delicious with a glass of beer.
