Today was the second time this year I’d thrown out my back. The back muscle spasms are so bad it puts me in entirely different state of mind. It’s due to the amount of brain piercing bursts of pains I experience. Transferring from the floor to the couch almost had me black out. It only takes the slightest move to trigger the spasmed muscle(s). It’s like playing a game of Russian roulette but it’s your body movements. Cool huh?

Do y’all get this too? Why is it so fucking god awful painful? How do you handle your episodes?

My husband had the worst sciatica, and this book helped him so much

How would a book help in these situations?

[-] _Lost_@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The book itself doesn't do much. It's the information in the book that can help.

But honestly what information would really make such a difference (next to the basic things like good posture etc.

You sleep with your back on the book

Ez solution. You can also buy my book: why is my monitor too low and hoe solve it.

[-] acaleyn@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

In them? Not at all. But by reading it and understanding probable causes and stretches/exercises that can alleviate or prevent the pain, hopefully things would get better.

That being said, consulting a doctor would still be a good idea. But having something you can do immediately, that gives you tools that could help right away, isn't bad either.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
