#chronic back pain

[pumpkinspicedmochi]

"walkable cities" would be cool sure but, lets not forget other accessible features like wheelchair ramps and ya know

more benches and general places to sit because some people like me can't stand long without pain? . Is it really an accessible city if it only is "walkable" and caters to abled people? I don't think so. People seem to forget this fact when talking about the walkable cities talk I've noticed ..The disappearance of more and more benches to the point now to where there really are none (at least where I live unless its a park) is very disturbing.

shoutout to the queers with chest dysphoria who have bad posture or tight muscles or chronic back or neck pain from slouching to hide their chests. i've been slouching terribly since i was 13 and my posture is noticeably curved and i've had chronic back pain for the past 2 1/2 years because of it. and i'm not the only one who has these kinds of problems! love you all, remember to stretch, shrimp posture check, and go easy on yourself

Can you warn me about chiropractors? I have weird back stuff and was seriously considering one.

The title of this video is kinda clickbait-y but this man is a orthopedic surgeon in the US. He does a very good job of explaining why chiropractic adjustments can be dangerous and disabling

The shocking murder of a health insurance executive and the glorification – by some – of Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer, has underscored how many Americans feel about the U.S. healthcare system.

Medicine has become big business and you, the patient, are a hot commodity. You and your health problems are the main source of revenue for many companies needing to report big profits to their shareholders. In this era of so-called health reform, it’s essential to understand what this means to you – and the news is not good.

As a spine surgeon, I enjoy caring for patients and performing surgeries when needed, and do my best to help people feel better and function well. Unfortunately, most people getting spine surgery today not only won’t be helped, they’ll suffer more as a result of complications from surgeries they shouldn’t have.

For example, let’s look at spinal fusion for low back pain. There is clear research showing that only about 25% of patients significantly benefit from a spine fusion for lower back pain. Another report from Washington State, where I practiced, showed that just 15% of people who had a spinal fusion returned to work one year after their operation.

Physicians today are trained to use evidence-based data to make treatment decisions – and yet, when it comes to low back pain, the data is routinely ignored. A 2009 study showed that physicians eschew established clinical guidelines for best practices in treating back pain. (Read more at link)

I’m so grateful I had doctors that did not lead me down the surgery route with my lower back pain. Especially after having necessary foot surgery that did fix a problem that had to be fixed, but still causes lingering pain today. I don’t need to make my back pain worse.

istg binding advice are completely meaningless when you have chronic back pain

"you shouldnt be feeling ANY PAIN AT ALL when binding!" "if youre feeling ANY PAIN AT ALL when binding, it means your binder is too small and you need a bigger one!" "a binder should never cause ANY PAIN AT ALL!!"

my back hurts ALL THE TIME. a well fitting bra makes it worse. of course a thing literally designed to copmress my chest would.

instead, i listen to what i think is a much better advice, which is listen to your body. my body tells me that i have to stop binding and i do. but when you have chronic pain, theres more to it than just "whether or not i feel pain"
