How fucked is your back?

Let's talk Aguachile Alley

Postby Milk » Tue Nov 14, 2017 8:53 pm

i can't stand up without walking for even an hour before my back starts hurting and kinda locks. Like if i'm just standing up preparing food or something or washing the dishes for over 30 mins (which happens when i do it as "often" as i do) it gets bad. If im walking though it doesnt hurt, I could go hours as long as i'm moving.

Also the past two weeks ive had this weird...stiffness i guess in my back except it doesn't hurt. It just feels like this tight feeling when i move a certain way, almost like there's something in there. But it's starting to get better now so maybe its just from bad positioning. Just weird there's been no pain. Just more a feeling like my muscle was being pulled as far as it would go...but without pain.
I must insist on being a pessimist, I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind

Did some stretching earlier and took some ibuprofen and it was feeling a good bit better, but I just got gone done washing dinner dishes and baby bottles and my shit is even more fucked than before.

Not back but knees: I always crouch at student desks while working with them, like all day. The last few weeks I've been standing up after and finding I can't walk for a lil bit. My career's over

The coolest part is that in addition to falling apart at such relatively young ages we also will get to work until we’re well into our 70s.

not my back at all, but i have ligament damage in my lcl and also the right side of my right ankle, whatever that part is called, from playing soccer. The beginning of the year i tried out for and got accepted onto a taiwanese 3rd division semi pro football team, as a right back/right winger but its been a long season (28 games) and my leg is falling apart :shock:

not that bad...yet

slight scoliosis in my lower spine. yoga seems to help with it. I've also used a foam roller but I think I read that that can potentially fuck it up more or something.

Back is Never worse than now. Cutting high coconuts and tree branches last week is still hurting me. I’m just old I guess.

no more sciatica via herniated disc (and i got hit by an 87 year old man who was driving intoxicated at 3pm), still got a tight back.


Dealing with excruciating pain in a part of your body some distance from the location of the actual injury is a horror I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

*talking about sciatica here. My actual L5-S1 area felt fine for the most part, unless my physical therapist would press hard on it.

yeah my sciatica was debilitating. nerve pain is crazy - your entire life ends up being based around pain management (especially since i didn't take anything for it aside from weed. opiates didn't do anything). so glad that's over.

I've thrown out my back like three times in the past few years.
I thought it was aggravated from lifting my kids in and out of cribs or the car, because they grow to be kinda heavy and there's no real way to do that with great technique.
Started going to a doctor and chiropractor and it seems to be better, except the doctor noticed that I have horrible flexibility, especially in my calves and hamstrings. Which is true, I can't touch my toes or anything, and have always been that way - even as a kid I was always the worst in my class at the sit-and-reach. I guess inflexibility in those places can make you compensate and stress your lower back. So now I stretch every day which is frustrating because it's yet another thing to do that takes kind of a lot of time but I try to do it as much as I can to try and make progress.

don't worry, i've got your back

mine's actually pretty good because my dad's chronic back pain has terrified me into stretching/exercising every other night. For people who are not already completely fucked I'd recommend finding something to hang from for 2 minutes a day, a door or a pull up bar.

If however, the pain never goes away, I would maybe recommend a different type of hanging.

Starts out a solid 9/10, I have to slid out of bed, I can't sit up and swing my legs out like a normal human. I have to edge out and basically allow my legs to fall out.

Then I'll do some stretches and then it will stay at around 3-4/10. Then I'll sit down all day at work and by the time I'm home it's back to an 8/10.

I'll do some stretches to get it back to a 3/10, then I'll sit down on the couch all night and then I'll get up and it will be a 9/10.
