I love when Bart says hi...he's always so nice! I enjoy a good Bart segment..đ€đ
I do tođđđ
You are one of my favourite CZcamsrs! Even just you chatting and being at home, you're still so fun to watch! Love you Stella! Flying or not, love your channel!
You need to take 400 mg Aleve every 3 hours to keep a constant anti-inflammatory effect for at least 2 days. Alternate heat and cold too.
Agreed! đđ»đđ»
Everybody and their brother has a cure for a sore neck. Ask your doctor!
There was an excellent Chiropractor in the City of Bankstown, 35Km South West of Sydney. [Australia]
A long-time friend, former Merchant Navy [P&O) use to be one of his patients.
Then one day the Chiropractor was stolen .. by none other than the flying nun ,
American actress and director Sally Field.
Love the couch. You made the right decision about the coffee table. I like these normal day in the life vlogs from you.
Before covid I worked in a commercial kitchen. Once a year we would spray oven cleaner on the large baking sheets, let them soak, then give them a super good wash. Takes off EVERYTHING! :)
With a family name of Kenwood which sounds the same as KENWOOD
one could only be either a Radio operator or a Kitchen Wizz
I love your vlogs Stella! I get so excited everytime I see a new video is posted. I hope you have a great Valentine's Day! :)
Congratulations Stella, you're old now đ But seriously, it seems like there's a point in your 30s where suddenly you don't bounce back from minor things like you used to. Just be gentle with yourself đ
How old is she? đ
@@tine9688 I think about 38 or 39. Just a baby compared to me!
@@bonniem3754 ah cool, thanks for your quick reply. Thought she was even younger. đđ
What do you mean bounce back?
@@Hanfahhussain From my own experience, things that used to go away in a day or 2 now take about a week ++
Hi Stella! đ For the dirty baking sheet, sprinkle a liberal amount of baking soda over it, take a wet sponge and scrub in a circular motion... It may require a bit of elbow grease... Once you've got it sparkling, âš use parchment paper in the future and it will keep your baking sheet looking new with minimal cleaning. đ For your neck, try taking a hot bath đ and dip a hand towel in the hot đĄwater, wring it out, and wrap it around your neck. Also, keep massaging it with your hands and it should eventually go away.
Canât wait to see you flying again Stella! Flying for those of us who will no longer be taking to the skies â€ïž
Hey Stella! I just love the spirit you push forward and it always motivates me. I pray that you get well soon and hope to see you in the friendly skies and join you on future adventures đ€.
what's on the pan is probably baked on oil or other fat. You could try scrubbing it with baking soda. Another thing to try is put it in a garbage bag with ammonia, close the bag up, and let it sit like that for several hours, like overnight. That technique works on barbecue grill grates. The ammonia vapors loosen up what's burnt on, and then it can be scrubbed off.
Voltaren cream, 2 min massage and a turtleneck sweater cures any neck pain. I hope you're feeling better now! I love Bart's t-shirt! đ
The spine is very easy to knock out of whack. I've literally spent my whole life with spine issues, so that's something I am intimately familiar with. For one, sleeping with your body and head at different angles can do this, as can sleeping on a bed or pillow that's either lumpy or collapsed or old.
Most often, the issue is spinal discs bulging, where they partially collapse on one side, which causes them to bulge on the opposite side, which impinges the nerve on that side at that juncture.
Also, do NOT use heating pads for that. Heat is good for muscle issues, as it stimulates blood flow into the muscle that helps relieve it. But with nerve pain, heat actually makes it more inflamed than it already is, so you actually want to do the opposite. So use a flexible ice pack or a bag of frozen peas, wrapped in a thin towel so it doesn't get too cold too fast. Use it for about 15-20 minutes at a time.
Based on how you're moving, your disc is bulging to the right side, which is why you can't turn to the right easily. Also, based on where you're grabbing and what's being affected, I would say that it's likely your C3-C4 disc that's affected.
The C3-C4 and C6-C7 discs are the ones most commonly affected. The difference is, the C3-C4 affects the top of your shoulder and arm, whereas the C6-C7 affects the back of the shoulder and bottom of your arm.
A decent chiropractor can help relieve the pain and put the disc back into place with some well-placed spinal manipulation. If you can't find a decent one nearby, either a massage or occupational therapist can often make a good substitute. I have seen several of both, and both have helped me in the past.
Unfortunately, I have spent 42 of my 49 years dealing with spinal problems and pain, and even had 5-level cervical spine laminectomy and fusion surgery 2 years ago (which unfortunately led to severe complications that put me out of my job just over 2 years ago, and has me bedridden the last 10 months).
But spinal issues, especially bulging discs and degenerative disc disease (DDD) are among the most common issues that adults over 30 have, especially if you have a job that involves being on your feet a lot, or is physically oriented.
And in fact, adults over 30 generally experience these issues on a very common basis, and they tend to get worse with age (which is why you see many people in their 70s or older with severe spine issues, hunched over, etc).
Advil is good for an OTC (over the counter) pain reliever and inflammation reducer...definitely better than Tylenol. Tylenol is good for fever reduction, but not swelling reduction. And with bulging discs, the nerve is being rubbed raw, which causes it to become enlarged and inflamed, which is where your pain stems from. This is why a couple of Advil every 4-6 hours and icing it can really help. Plus, ice helps numb the pain, so it has that additional analgesic effect.
Another key that can help in the future is this: As much as possible, turn your whole body when turning, rather than whipping your head around. Every time part of your spine is out of line with the rest, you run the risk of doing damage. This is why whiplash in rear-end car accidents is the most common injury, bar none...because your main spine is being kept relatively stationary by your seat belt, but your head isn't, so it is whipped suddenly and violently backward, then forward (or the opposite, if you rear-end someone else), which the spine is not meant to do.
It's just like with lifting, when they say to lift with your legs and not your back...to bend your knees and take the load on your hamstrings va your knees or low back...same thing here. Put the stress of turning on your whole body at once, which spreads the stress out, rather than on your cervical spine, which is much more vulnerable.
Hey Stella.
Iâm a family nurse practitioner. I tell my patients to use :
âąwarm compresses to affected area 4-6 times daily
âąYou can use ibuprofen 600 mg - 800 mg (thats 3-4 tabs at once) every 8 hours x 3 days straight, then once daily as needed from day 4 on.
âąyou can also purchase lidocaine patches at any retail pharmacy and apply to affected area. Just donât apply the warm compresses directly to the patch bc you will create a chemical burn to the skin.
*If all fails you can contact your pcp or go to urgent care and ask for muscle relaxers.
Iâm so happy you got your equipment back!! Back to flying soon!â€ïž
Reserve next month đŹâïž
Hi Stella!! Former AA aka Usairways ramp agent here. The first jet you filmed is a former america west airliner. For the neck put a bag of ice on it and leave it there. When the ice melts just refill the bag with more ice and repeat. Hopefully that'll helpđđ
Congrats! I was so excited to hear you're going back! Im a new commercial pilot going through CFI right now so hopefully eventually I'll see you at the airlines!
Weâre having a cold front/freeze day here in Texas. Iâm so relaxed just here covered in blankets watching your vlogs. I hope your neck feels better!! Thanks for sharing youâre life with us đ€ ps love when Bart pops in to say hi! Lol
I missed your vlogs! Happy to see you, Bart and Franny â€ïž Happy Valentines day! Hope your neck will be better asap
I had super back neck pain a few weeks ago and there is a video on youtube about how you can rub your neck for a few seconds and it relieves so much pain for a few hours. You have to do it a few times a day but omg the relief is unreal.
Happy Valentineâs Day Stella!đHope you & Bart have a wonderful day together! Plus I hope you feel better soonđXx
Hi Stella, Bart, and Franny! Wow, so much going on. I hope you get to feeling better. Congrats on getting to return to work. I bet the furniture swapping is easier now than when you lived in NYC.
You can try an L stretch. You have to hold on to something stable and create a 90 degree angle. Basically bend over from your waste then pull back. Not too agressively but hard enough to get some tension. Keep doing it for every 10 to 15 minutes. Your doing this because you most likely have a vertebrae out of alignment and this will elongate your spine and help put things back in place. I learned this from my chiropractor. You could also find a chiropractor. They can really make you feel great. Feel better!!
If you have sprayed your baking sheet with Pam or another nonstick spray it leaves a residue and ends up baking on the pan. Always line your baking sheets with a silk Pat or parchment.
For me, that kind of neck pain occurs like once in a blue moon, but when it does, its usually because I slept on it wrong. It usually clears up in a couple of days. :)
If you notice that neck pain continues to happen then start doing neck stretches before you go to bed... its not a cure but it helps. I notice I get those bad neck and muscle tension pains that last for days when I over stretch in the morning after not stretching the night before... it takes 5 mins or less and is a big help! I feel for you!!
Also, cold then hot compressions will help during the first couple of days... after the first couple days then heat.
I do my kitchen sink stretches for a sore neck. I grab onto the front edge of the sink with my right hand and turn to the left and stretch my arm and neck as far as I can. I do the same with the right. Then I grab the sink with both hands and slowly stretch back and look to the ceiling. Then I grab the sink from the back and lean forward. I do it once a day and have never had neck pain since!!!Hope it helps!!!
Hey Stella. I'm a Massage Therapist. Pull up stretches for neck pain on CZcams to show you how to help relieve some of your neck pain. Also, you can have Bart massage that area going upward using slow yet deep pressure. Good luckđđŸ
Hi, Stella, its winter too, do drink more warm water and limit your intake of cooling juices.
East Asian from China and Japan generally keep warm in winter by drinking warm water , avoiding ice cubes and cold drinks.
Hi Stella, I recently had TMJ pain the Doctor told me to apply OTC Voltaren Arthritis Gel 1% to the outside of my face at the TMJ area and to alternate between hot and cold packs, I got two Peas Packs at CVS, one to put in the microwave and one I keep in the freezer to immediately use after the microwave pack, it worked no more TMJ pain, I bet this will help your neck pain, the CVS Peas Packs come in different sizes
Stella you can clean the pan with bar keepers friend powder! I put some water and the powder and I let it sit overnight, when you wash it in the morning 80% of the stains come off
1. theracane + lacrosse ball
2. trigger point therapy workbook
It's happen to me so many times! 9 out of 10 times neck pain is caused by stress....only thing that helps me is a massage...sometimes I just go to the mall and get a chair massage...it helps so much! Almost 50 percent of the pain disappears after a massage...Bart can massage it to...if you don't know what is stressing you out just notice your first thought when you wake up in the morning and you'll find the reason for your stress...Be blessed!
Years ago when I had neck pain I bought a special curved pillow that is supposed to align your neck and spine perfectly. It worked like a charm. Those pillows are great for anyone who has problems with their neck.
Your Peloton posture may be the cause of your neck pain. Could be that your seat is too high and youâre having to compensate for it. Check your settings on your bike. Peloton has videos on how to set up the bike.
Go to a chiropractor and get your neck adjusted. Youâll get so much relief.
I was going post that also. They are so great.
I love how proud Bart looks wearing his Trophy Husband shirt. lol
I totally đ agree.
I get migraines from sleeping wrong and/or stress that tightens my muscles and knocks my spine out of alignment. I recommend getting adjusted. Also, I take magnesium day and night and itâs helped me immensely! Heat, cold, essential oils (DoTERRA past tense and deep blue) and Motrin. I hope something helps you!
Here's hoping you're better. Had the same neck issue a couple of weeks back and was miserable. It was also due to my sleeping position. I think it can also cause neck tension in muscles due to one tensing up. Instead of being too careful I exercised my neck, though it hurt. Think it helps relieve the tension build-up as well. David
Oh Stella, Iâm so sorry your neck is hurting you. I know when this happens to me, a Chiropractor is THE FASTEST way to get back to normal. Good luck and Congratulations on flying again~. Love your videos~
A little trick for the juicer, if you line the part where the leftover 'pulp' comes out with a plastic bag, it makes clean up 100x easier :)
In Louise Hayâs Book Heal your Body she claims that the neck represents beings flexible on issues so being willing to see different sides of a question/situation. Her affirmation for this is:
It is with flexibility and ease that I see all sides of an issue. There are endless ways of doings things and seeing things. I am safe.
Hope this helps Stella i just bought the book and its fascinating. Hope you get well soon xxx
Stella, can you tolerate turmeric powder ? Maybe , you need to add a little warming element in your juice, like ginger, turmeric , and other warm veggies.
We, in the east believe that too much juice is too cooling on thr body and can cause the body to have aches and pain , due to blocked qi.
Do google some research on adding warming / heating veggies to your mix of juice, like ginger, turmeric , garlic .
Cucumber is cooling, kale , brocolli can cause body stiffness if taken too much in one day .
Do check with your health practioner before starting on natural remedies, may interfere with blood thinners.
Start easy and avoid going overboard with any natural remedies,
That Spinche Juice looks great!
What is > Spinche < ?
What dictionary are you using?
I wish to purchase one so I can learn your language.
Is it anything like the A'sian plant widely cultivated for its edible dark green leaves ..
commonly-known as spinach in English and made famous by the cartoon character Popeye the Sailor Man
If your neck is painful and you can't move it for that many days, I suggest you go to your MD and get an MRI of your neck...could be a cervical herniation. I had similar symptoms nearly 2 years ago and that's what it ended up being...
Hey Stella! I am a retiring teacher from San Diego who lives in Birmingham Alabama. We have family in North Carolina, California, Cleveland Ohio,and Orlando Florida and are big Starbucks fans lol. Ok, so me and my son who is 12 have been watching your channel since Covid began well since last March.. You have been our inspiration and smile of the day ever since. We are frequent flyers who normally fly delta but will be flying American Airlines for the very first time (for him second for me thanks to your influence). He is an airplane buff and extremely excited to fly American next month March 23rd from Charlotte to Orlando. His repeating words have been âwouldnât it be great if we can see Stella, mom? Wouldnât it?â Of course. Stella, It would mean the world to him and to me and we would be tremendously blessed if we did! Sooo since you are bidding flights this week for March trips please remember us. We will be on flight 2673 to Orlando from Charlotte. Scheduled to depart CLT 4:25 and arrive in Orlando at 6:13 đđ€ ( We are connected in Linked in if that helps. Look for Natasha Hurd)
You need to rotate Tylenol and ibuprofen. Also setup an appointment with a chiropractor. You need to also sleep on your back. Put a rolled towel under your neck while laying down and donât use a pillow. I have this problem a lot and have a lot of neck issues.
The same happened to me, Stella! It is super painful. Try to get an appointment with a Chiropractor ASAP. Ibuprofen 800 mg (it is anti-inflammatory), and you can rub Biofreeze. So happy you get to fly, again. Get all better soon! đ·
When Stella said âI need to take a break. Iâve over exerted my neckâ. Idk why that was so funny to me
@Esi A and she has worked 4 days in feb.
Hello Stella!! Happy to see you!! Very sorry about your sore neck. I hope the pain leaves you soon! I am excited for you, going back to your Flight Attendant job next month!! Happy Valentine's Day, and have a great rest of your day!!
Iâm not sure if anyone has suggested : prescription robaxin (muscle relaxer) and seeing if you could get a trigger point injection for your neck. Iâm a nurse in the ER and if itâs a severe muscle spasm, it may help -- all are non-narcotic (I also worked for an airline for 10 years đ„°).
OMG! As a long-time viewer, coming back to your channel to see how you are doing. 10 seconds in, neck pain. Me too!!!! It started on Monday and I have no idea how I hurt my neck... đ€Šđ»ââïžđ đ
Love seeing Bart! His smile with that shirt is everything!!! Love you guys!!!
One day I woke up with the worst pain in my neck/shoulder. I have a massager that is long with a joint in the center area to do your back. It also has heat too. I bent it in half and pressed it into the hurt area then just laid on it for 10-15 minutes pressing the hurt spot. I checked halfway thru and I could tell it was getting better. When I tested to see if it was better it was gone. Iâve had those before and they usually take 3 days to feel better. I looked everywhere to find that massager and got it at Walgreens.
I used to watch this channel and dream to be a flight attendant. Im 20 and have hernia . As I learned people with hernia cant be flight attendant( most of the flight attendant have hernia, its a flight job disease). I feel so devastated and bad. Now I dont know what to do. Still want to watch this channel but it hurts now đȘ but I will because stella you have beautiful personality, and you are spreading positive energy around you. Even though for a year It was great to dream being a flight attendant.
I don't know if you'll read this comment so long after uploading your video. Next time you have a stiff neck, try Arniflora gel by Boericke & Tafel. Looking at one of my coworkers, I could tell she was having neck issues. She was prescribed a muscle relaxer and wasn't able to turn her head. I had brought the Arniflora gel to work with me for a lower back issue. I had my friend use Arniflora on her stiff neck. Within 15 minutes, she was able to turn her head.
Hi Stella hope you're felling better!
For cleaning your pan moisten it and add baking soda leave it a while then rinse it and whash it with soap. That will help removing the stain.
Hey, tips to clean that baking tray
Try: lemon juice or white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda or put a tablespoon of powder laundry detergent and boiling water and let that soak, scrub and rinse well.
Hope this helps?!! âșïžđ
Remember if you eat a lot of spinach ...get ready for kidney stones. I got them and doc asked the foods I eat...spinach may have contributed to the stones
Saw the cookie sheet part. This is what I do for my greased up fire stove. Just put a thick paste of baking soda. Let it dry and wipe with a clean cloth. It should come out.
Hey Stella
It could be a muscle spasm. That usually causes stiff neck. I can send you some information on stiff neck. Hope you guys are holding up well during these crazy times!
I love her videos sm she makes my dayđ
bicarb soda crystals and vinegar works well to clean pans and a scrubber leave for 15 min then scrub it
Hi Stella I hope your neck feels better! Just so you know, advil (ibuprofen) is not a muscle relaxer, itâs anti inflammatory, which will help you for sure but itâs not a muscle relaxer. If you go to your local pharmacy you can ask for an over the counter muscle relaxer but be careful itâll make you drowsy! A perfect natural thing to relax your muscles is heat. So a heating pad is perfect. I also suggest going to an osteopath, they make miracles!
Do you think the neck pain is Peloton related? Do you tense up when you ride?
Try celery with apples. You will love it.
Hey girl, when I had those neck pains I would put a pain relief patch on the place (like Salonpas), they help A LOT
Try some anti-inflammatory medicine for 2 or 3 days max to see if the pain eases a bit.
Another tip of mine is hot-and-cold therapy. 15 to 20 minutes with an ice pack, then 2 hours later, 15 to 20 minutes with one of those heat packs. The ice will reduce the pain, while the heat promotes a better blood flow to the injured area.
Love the new couch and end tables. So glad the coffee table is going!
Hi Stella. I love your videos. Please consult a doctor about your neck. I understand your pain. A few years ago I woke up with some of the same issues youâve described with my neck. My diagnosis required further medical attention.đđŸ
Your baking pan has patina. Shows itâs used. Try not to worry about it. Can even help make it nonstick.
For your pan... lay two layers of paper towels in it and cover with white vinegar. Let soak about two hours. Use soft brush. Repeat if needed.
Take care, hopefully it gets better!
I just had the same injury. Turns out it was a pinched nerve. Heat and ibuprofen didnât work for me. Needed prednisone to reduce the inflamed nerve. It took me almost one month to feel almost better. Hope you get better.
Try Bon Ami Cleansing Powder on your pans; scrub it on, let it sit a while, then scrub it back off. It's sold next to Comet or Ajax but works better than those.
Usually you slept wrong. You need to start stretching it out even though it is going to hurt. I would also suggest 600mg - 800mg ibuprofen as that is prescription strength for pain and inflammation if you aren't already taking it.
Use the roll on icyhot and use a muscle patch. I hate random neck pain too and I used tiger balm icy hot and salonpas after a week or so of constant use it worked.
Stella I can say with certain, it's be of ur stress and/or sleep wrong. I work in the medical field and I get them a lot they can last for days. I sometimes half to go to the chiropractor to relieve it. Ps. You and 74gear are amazing youtubers and in this trying time we are dealing with thank you for all of your hard work and more. I'm so happy you are going back to work very soon
đHappy Valentines Day Stella!! How exciting...you got your Flight Attendant stuff back. Things just got real! Have a great day!!!!
Hi Stella for the pan place it upside down in the oven and self clean your oven it come out almost brand new
I am a Personal trainer/ massage therapist. No heat on your neck. Stop looking down at your phone. That position makes it worse. Lie down with a rolled up towel under your neck,. Kind like a tootsie roll. You also may need to increase your mineral intake for skeletal muscle strength. That it. Easy fix.
Book a massage ASAP they can knock the neck pain out almost immediatelyđ
Woooow we still in corona time people...!
A massage would be perfect as I'm a therapist who's owned her own business for 12 years and still working. She could definitely get one during the pandemic. She would stay masked up as well as the therapist. And if it made her more comfortable she could bring her own face covering for the headrest..cloth or disposable. Most of us in the salon and Healthcare industry are making sure clients see us clean and sanitize our equipment for everyone's safety. But everyone does have the right to choose how they move about during these times and I respect it
Yes!!
We've been allowed to practice since May 4th our city allowed us to go back to giving massages. And Stella, try Bar keepers friend for the pan.
Love the vlog!! Could you pls explain bidding for flight attendants!! I wish you safe and happy travels!!
@James Donnelly ck out other FA's blogs who explain it in detail. Stella is sweet...... short on depth.
Maybe wash the spinach and celery. Not sure about packaging when enroute to store.
Try a chiropractor and trap stretches. I slept wrong a few months ago and those helped the most
Some more remedies: Hot Rice Pack. Salonpas. TENS Unit. Chiropractor & Massage. Feel better.
please tell me you washed your celery after you picked them up from the spinach container
You can add apples to that green mix to sweeten it up.
ADD ginger root and green apple to your mixture !!
Stand in shower and let hot water hit the area. Also, a heating pad or a massage maybe....hope you are feeling better soon!!...love watching you!!...just watched your flying lesson and I died with laughter as he was telling you to do specific things and your eyes were slammed shut!!...lol!!...he was very patient!!â€
All the best to you! Thanks for the positive energy you put in the channel
I canât wait for you to be flying again. Roll on March.
Roll on Two ...
I wonder if that clever but stupid Thomas Alva Edison used those same words
when he deliberately electrocuted innocent Elephants who cried in desperate agony.
Feel better Stella đ€
I can't wait for you to start flying. I am happy for you. I want to go to Heathrow to see my family. You see good things to those who wait just like you did.
Your videos are always good humor and make us laughing a lot. To feel pain on neck is horrible, but with antiflamatory and rest you go to stay well.
I got a super bad stiff neck years ago and read about trigger points. I went to the doctor and he gently pressed around on upper back sort of region then injected one shot novocaine. Within 15 min I was totally back to normal.
Hoping your neck heals soon. Love both your channels, and itâs always good to see Bart as well x
Its funny how she wont say she works for American Airlines yet continues to show the American airbus sitting at the gate as she enters the airport
or the badge lanyard on her neck or the tail on her name tag!
Maybe as a legality thing she canât actually state it but if we come to our own conclusions then đ€·ââïž
The company I actually work for is displayed under a different name than we actually go by. Like a parent company. I thought I was going for a COMPLETELY different job. Idk if itâs a legal thing or she just doesnât want to go outright and say it
That happened to me twice and they are tension headaches. You have to have Bart rub the neck area that is in pain. Me the pain was so bad, I had shooting pain in my neck and head when I sat up or stood up. It would shoot up from the neck and up to my head and then I felt tingling in every hair follicle.
Havenât worked in a year ... living vicariously through you! Congrats on getting back to work âïž
