#back stuff

[backbroke]

i fucked up my back again bc i overdid it and i’m just

so tired

[cherrylomain]

in school i would always slouch in my desk because for some reason it was tiring to sit up straight and even if i really wanted to it would eventually hurt to do, same with walking around to much sometimes idk what it is

also when standing and stuff i always slouched but subconsciously i didnt want my chest to stick out because it made me uncomfortable and Im not petite

[cerebruhm]

soooo update on my back: They didn’t tell me exactly what it was, but I do know it’s not a sciatic nerve, or ruptured/slipped disc or anything like that. Apparently. Reason for it not being sciatic was that the pain hadn’t gone past my knees (and after hearing that, I’m suddenly feeling it in my calf >.<) but at this point, i just gotta start doing some stretches and hope for the best.

Hey, at least it’s nothing something surgery-worthy.

Tomorrow I find out if I have to continue wearing my brace, because according to my x Rays I took on Friday I'm done growing! Which means there's like no change my curves are gonna increase. Im nervous and excited! Also terrified because I'm 5'2" and done growing.

Every 30 minutes to an hour, just get up and stretch. Go get a drink or take a bathroom break or whatever. I have chronic joint pain and I have to do this or my joints freeze up and get really sore. Not a magic cure, but it should help some. :)

it sounds super obvious but its amazing how often i forget to take breaks hahaha but i gotta keep this in mind!!!

Heatbags, yoga, a proper desk and office chair, and back exercises. Try to not play for longer than 15 minutes without doing shoulder exercises

im looking at heating pads on amazon rn and ive also taken over my dads office desk when hes not using it, only problem is the chair goes suuuuper far back if i lean on it so i gotta see if i can fix that

i use heating pads on my back and neck. also i try and take computer breaks every 30-45 minutes and stretch. better posture is key though! and warm showers / baths!

at least there is one thing im doing right, and it is baths i love baths so much!!

Gods I feel old. I have (for a little over a week now) have been having terrible pain in my back. Figuring it was muscle strain I took ibuprofen and have been using my mom's heating pad. Since it hasn't gotten better I talked to my mom, my resident medical professional, and the combo of her and WebMD we have determined I have a severe compression of my nerves in my lower back. I know people have it way worse than me out there. People are in chronic pain and for me complain feels wrong. But this honestly isn't something I'm use too. I have an appointment with the chiropractor. (Or as I like to say "The Magic Spine Doctor.") Let's hope it helps.

So I have mild scoliosis of my thoracic spine, which isn't that big of a shock nor that big of a deal, but it's nice to finally have a diagnosis other than "my stupid back".

[justanoutline]

but i want abs. and i cant do situps or cruches and so i have to get creative and i want abs and thats really stupid but i do

i want to be able to run. i was getting good and i ran a 5k and i was planning to run all summer and do some mor in the fall and go for a 10k in the fall and it sucks

i miss biking and i miss hanging out with my friends and on good days i can tree climb and shit but theres things i can't do like i cant drop from a certain distance and if i fall im fucked and so i have to be paranoid about that and i cant bike which slows me down and im on meds that only work half the time but give me stomach aches or weirdly affect how hungry i am most of the time so thats all over the place 

and then on bad days im trying but everything hurts and i cant go do stuff and im a super slow walker now and i'll probably have to figure out things for gym next year because my day to day life sucks this much and i cant jump, run, or any of those in a combo and as much as my rule is 'youre either doing your best of the day or you're in the hospital" somehow i don't think being in gym is going to help that much

and i shouldnt be worrying but i cant not worry and i hate this so much
