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?
There is a book called the back mechanic. After years of trying everything it changed my life. Get the book.
My husband had the worst sciatica, and this book helped him so much
How would a book help in these situations?
You sleep with your back on the book
Lol. Sorta. The book actually has you sleep with back support.
Ez solution. You can also buy my book: why is my monitor too low and hoe solve it.
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.
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.
Honestly my dr ordered physio therapy which was all stretches that exacerbated the injury. The book has a different approach that finally worked. For me stretching was just re-injuring the vertebra.
Thank you!!! Just ordered it :)
Good. Take time to read it thoroughly and follow the instructions. Its really good at explaining the physiology of your injury and explains exercises to strengthen your core without exacerbating the injury. Good luck. Feel free to hit me up with questions.
