If you feel pain in your lower back that radiates along the path of sciatic nerve (through the buttocks, thigh, and lower leg), you may be suffering from sciatica. Sciatica pain is often described as sharp, burning, needlelike, or tingling. In some cases, sciatica can be more localized around the buttocks, with radiation in the thigh, but no pain at the lower back. The specific pain pattern will differ from person to person, and is mainly tied to the underlying cause of the sciatica. Pain is usually present in one leg, but can affect both in some cases. Muscle weakness can occur during sciatica, due to the irritation and inflammation of the nerve. Pain and muscle weakness can be so severe that it can affect your lifestyle and daily activities. The pain could be triggered by walking, bending forward or backward, and prolonged sitting or standing. In some cases, pain can get worse even with coughing, sneezing or hard laughing, although it usually recedes after. If your symptoms become especially acute, it is necessary to seek medical attention to prevent complications from developing. These signs include: Progressive weakness or numbness in your lower leg or thigh Inability to control your bladder or bowel movement

Count how many compliments you receive on a given day and try to double that amount the following day. Suppose you see someone do something nice for someone else. Reward that person's generosity and kindness by doing something thoughtful for them. For instance, suppose you're working at a restaurant and a customer spills a glass of water. If another customer helps the first one clean up the mess, you could reward their generosity by discounting their bill. Check with a manager or supervisor before doing this. You could also reward someone's kindness by helping them out. For instance, you could offer to carry a heavy burden for them or even just hold the door open for them. Volunteers are the lifeblood of any charity or nonprofit organization. Designate at least one day each month (for instance, the first day of the month) to volunteer with a local soup kitchen, homeless shelter, or other community organization in your area. If you have clothing that you don't wear, old books you don't read, or other goods that are still serviceable but are only collecting dust at home, find a way to donate them to a loving home. You could take them to your nearest thrift store, for instance, or post them for free on a digital marketplace like Craigslist. Take advantage of donation bins for books, clothes, or shoes if you live near one. Old towels or blankets are often welcome at animal shelters. Books are also always welcome at your local library. Older folks often have trouble moving furniture around or cleaning out high, hard-to-reach shelves. Let your elderly neighbors know that if they need help with anything, you're available to lend a hand.

Credit sales are distinct from cash sales in that the customer is not required to make a full payment on the date of sale. Instead, they purchase their order on account and are allowed a set amount of time in which to make payments. From a business's perspective, this transaction is recorded as revenue, even though payment has not been received. In addition, the amount of the sale is added to "Accounts Receivable," an asset account that records the amount of money owed to the business by its customers. When orders are paid for, the Accounts Receivable account is reduced for the amount of the order and cash is increased. The simplest method used to find total credit sales is to maintain your Accounts Receivable account and to update it for each sale made on credit. This method is most accurate as it accommodates for changing product prices as well as all cash sales. If you want a total for annual or quarterly credit sales, you can simply start recording a credit sales amount at the beginning of that period. Then, each time you update accounts receivable, you can add to the sale amount to your credit sales amount for that period. Remember that sales tax is included in credit sales amounts. Total sales can be calculated as number of goods sold multiplied by the selling price. However, this can be complex if you offer different products at different prices. For example: If a company sold 100 unites of laptops at $100 a piece, its sales would be 100100=$10,000{\displaystyle 100 imes 100=\$10,000}. To calculate credit sales, start by finding the cash received. Lets assume that the customers on an average paid $60 in cash for those 100 laptops, so cash received would be $6000. Then, you can calculate credit sales by reducing total sales by total cash received. The credit sales would be equal to total sales minus cash received, which in this example is $10000$6000=$4000{\displaystyle \$10000-\$6000=\$4000}. The initial value at the start of the year can be seen from the balance sheet of the company. Let's assume the value to be $10000. Start by finding the ending accounts receivable. It is the value at the end of the year which can also be found out from the balance sheet itself just like initial accounts receivables. Let's assume it to be $5000. Then, determine the cash received. This should be in the company's records. Let the cash received for the year be $20000. Finally, calculate credit sales by finding the difference. So the credit sales can be calculated as (cash received - initial accounts receivable + ending accounts receivable). In the example above, it would be $20000 - $10000 + $5000 = $15000. So the credit sales would be $15000 for the year.

Vaginal dryness has a number of causes. If your vaginal dryness came on suddenly, you should see your gynecologist to rule out medical causes. Usually, the cause of vaginal dryness is benign. Menopause, childbirth, and breastfeeding can all alter hormonal levels and cause dryness. However, occasionally vaginal dryness is caused by more serious problems like certain cancers and immune disorders. This is why it's important to see a doctor quickly if you notice any changes as for these types of diseases early intervention is important. Sjogren's Syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which your body's immune system attacks healthy tissues. In can lead to vaginal dryness, in addition to other symptoms like dry eyes and a dry mouth. Your doctor can perform a blood test to see if you have Sjogren's Syndrome. If you're entering menopause, hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) can ease many symptoms including vaginal dryness. Not only can hormone replacement therapy improve vaginal dryness, it can help with other symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes. Usually, you would wear a patch or take oral tablets of low doses of estrogen and other hormones that your body produces less of as you enter menopause. Hormone replace therapy does carry some risks. Oral combined hormone pills that contain estrogen and progesterone have shown to increase the risk of breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke. Talk to your doctor about these risk factors and how they might apply to you. An estrogen ring is a form of hormone replacement therapy that many women find easier to use than pills. Your gynecologist inserts a small, flexible ring into the upper part of your vagina. The ring will release doses of estrogen on a regular schedule. It will need to be replaced every three months. Oftentimes, vaginal dryness is a side effect of existing medication. Decongestants especially, found in many cold or allergy medications, can lead to vaginal dryness. If you believe your dryness is caused by your medications, talk to your doctor about alternative meds.
