I have chronic lower back pain from an injury 10 years ago. I’m recovering from flare ups way more slowly now that I’m in my 30s. And now I tore a hamstring from the exercises/stretches my physiotherapist put me on.. it just compounds and gets worse and worse
Pulled a muscle in back half a year back while deadlifting and after having sunk money into MRI, X-ray, physiotherapy and medication and resting amply it is no better thanks to doctors in private hospitals not giving a fuck.
God damn this isn’t what I needed to hear right now hahhaha. How is your mobility now? I don’t know how much longer I can take this. Just getting around my apartment is rough right now
Shout out to our disabled comrades because this shit is absolutely fucked. Not being able to clean or get groceries or just go for a walk is taking such a toll on my mental health
do you have belts? you should absolutely have some belts and good shoes if you have lower back issues. dont ever work out without it so that you dont reintroduce the injury
they make some 'girl sized' :yea: ones that i use since im tiny. i use it to help with my terrible balance. if you can get over them being marketed towards women and being pink or something silly you can do that
im telling you, it makes a huge difference. bf got injured once and he eventually recovered because we got him a nice belt. probably not as bad as your situation but it can make doing some exercises less anxious for you
I’m glad your mobility is OK at least! But yeah chronic pain is horrible. I reallyyyy feel you on the impotent rage
I’m not sure it’s torn. The doctor I saw didn’t grade it, they just said to give it 5-6 weeks. I’m at 3 and a half weeks in and I feel like it isn’t getting better, but I’m in a really pessimistic place right now so the outlook might be better than I think
:geordi-yes:
