"23: Number of intervertebral dics in the back"
kjw276
I've seen that video with 23 dics in the back...

Much obliged, stranger

This works wonders for those people suffering from back pain because of lack of exercise. For people with some medical problems not so much.
daneshpastry
My brother has ankylosing spondylitis, a spinal arthritis (your vertebrae fuse together). I'm being tested for it this week. I'm terrified.

AlkeneThiol
At least 2 dics
PeteSirHut
Well, you're not wrong
gregclark1
also, elongate your spine.. contradict gravity , reach up , down , contradict gravity and sitting on your ass at a computer all day.

Don't forget about massage and soft tissue work! They are equally if not more important than stretches when dealing with pain.

So we all have intervertebral dics. I'm fine with that

Could someone explain how the hamstring stretch is different than touching your toes. I injured my back recently.

That and not enough exercise (seriously though.)

I wouldn't do all those exercises. LBP is more times than not relieved with flexion or extension. Not both at the same time.

I have upper back and shoulder blade pain. Thanks for fucking nothing
itsoctopusesnotoctopi
What about upper back pain? :-)
zeshoopuf
Stretch and rotate your arms, neck and shoulder blades and whatnot. Though it does kind of depend on the pain.
JacenSolo
I've been having a pretty annoying back pain right below my neck for sometime now. And I've tried that and it doesn't work lol
zeshoopuf
I would recommend a doctor or a physical therapist, then.
JacenSolo
Yeah, gonna go see one soon :)
itsoctopusesnotoctopi
Thank you :-)

Instructions unclear. Got high on Oxys and fought a guy in a wifebeater on my neighbour's law.

Yeaahhhh no. Just see a professional. Like an MD or physical therapist.

I have 22 titanium hooks in my spine. Can you fix my pain?
def3ctive
I could amateurishly ablate the nerves so you never feel anything again. Maybe don't take me up on that...
THRAWN18
Nah I'm good. I started doing judo again and it feels interesting
def3ctive
A much better choice! Gotta keep moving.
Deviantwhisper
As someone who regularly has lumbagos, I can confirm the exercises above help relieve the pain
GODDAMNlT
well shit, pack it up boys. This guy just solved chronic pain. you just have to stretch and you'll be ok.
Kerryblue
your name sums this up.
TheLabAssistant
To be fair, it only says back pain. Just normal ol' normal back pain.
AsAPhysiotherapistThisIsFalse
As a physiotherapist this is false.
RedDwarfIV
Yup. Relieves short term pain, makes the long term problem worse
Ryebread91
May I pick your brain? I feel my self arching backward my lower back when I stand at the work counter. Kind of in a pinching position. 1/2
Ryebread91
Have heel inserts to help me lean forward & anti fatigue mats but seems to do very little & constantly have lower back pain. Any reason/help
Ryebread91
Any reason I keep leaning back I mean. Need to work core? Do good morning lifts?
AsAPhysiotherapistThisIsFalse
I wouldn't put your health at risk by giving you some online diagnosis without even seeing you, what I can say though, is that ...
AsAPhysiotherapistThisIsFalse
... 8/10 of the lower back pain cases I treat at work show a very positive response to muscular reinforcement. Next step is up to you ;)
poorwhitetrash
Should always lift in a quick, twisting, jerking move.
ltsDizzyD
Keep your legs as straight as possible too.
blissfullyalive
Make sure to bend at the waist.
RICKFREAKINSANCHEZ
Yes, all the weight on your back. take your legs completely out of the equation
hemog0blin
Always pull from the lumbar region and make sure that you are pulling from an angle.

Funny how many of these comments and up votes don't know you stole that joke from family guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e4SBxgqBEY

Except that they didn't invent the sarcastic inversion..?
poorwhitetrash
All great comments derive from Family Guy quotes.

Yes.

For men, don't carry your wallet in your back pocket.

Schadenfreude8
Yea, women shouldn't carry their purses on the same shoulder all the time, fucks up a different part of your back/shoulder
alexe91
I've heard just don't sit with it in your back pocket, walking should be fine. I'm not 100% on this though.
azazyel
I'm pretty sure you're right. It's when you sit on it your spine has to compensate
lysithean
Also it fucks with your piriformis muscle in your ass which can irritate your sciatic nerve.
alexe91
Butt cheek muscle spasms.

How I relieved my back pain https://imgur.com/r38EBY3 not recommended unless you have severe scoliosis tho
adk2852
Did you recover well after the surgery?
WetPawPrints
Yes I recovered very well my body accepted the Fusion
killernerd
I have slight scoliosis. Shit sucks

Was going to come here and brag about my fractured spine then you go and post this shit. How dare you.

Scoliosis club yay! (but i dont have that bottom horizontal thing ... what that?)

Pectus excavatum repair, modified ravitch procedure. Bar placed under pectus to push it off the heart
khele
Going cyborg fixes everything.
RachaelM
Ouch
cookie404
With zip ties?
Thirstraffe
holy crap
DontBeAnAssButt
Did you have the nuss procedure too??
WetPawPrints
Difference is they cut away 6 deformed ribs and placed in a bar for 3 years. (First bar was 6 months, not enough time so second bar later)
WetPawPrints
Almost, actually called a modified ravitch
DontBeAnAssButt
I had the nuss procedure for pectus carinatum and had so many issues with it. Have you had any issues since your surgery?
WetPawPrints
Mine was for pectus excavatum. I've had wonderful results now that I can breath. My chest was literally pushing on my heart
DontBeAnAssButt
That sounds awful :( I'm glad it worked well for you :) I was thinking about getting the modified ravitch done since the nuss didn't work
Ruswal
I have scoliosis, is the surgery painful? and should I get the back brace instead?
WetPawPrints
It was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. And the surgery is for when the back brace can no longer do any good
Ruswal
did you experience back pain when you first had scoliosis because for me that was the most painful thing?
WetPawPrints
I had severe scoliosis that was progressing very rapidly. It was very painful and hard to walk. If I had not had the surgery I would current
WetPawPrints
Currently be in a wheelchair right now. I have Marfan syndrome which is a connective tissue disorder that causes skeletal deformities
toomanyostriches
I was going to make the joke "yeah but you can't fix my fucky spine" but this is probably in my future ):
WetPawPrints
The surgery is very painful but for me it was worth it. Good luck
toomanyostriches
Thank you! I'm hoping I won't need the bar across my ribs and just the pins. I'm glad it worked for you!
WetPawPrints
The bar under my sternum is from an unrelated separate operation. As long as you don't have pectus excavatum you won't need that
MaxeMan5126
After going 5 years without my brace or any other support/help for my scoliosis it got to a 91 degree curve, even after surgery it (1/2)

still isn't great original XRay looked like this![]()

Looks much better in comparison

I wish I had an xray of my before. I was only 14 and didn't think to ask for one
