Back problems...

Steve is right about sleep, which also brings up matress type.

What do you sleep on?

Sent from my SCH-I500 using EliteFitness

Memory foam/ pillow top. I know my mattress needs to go. I'm gonna buy a firm memory foam

haha yeah sorry dont sell drugs theyll land you in more trouble than you will ever be able to deal with. sorry for advising that.

but its true that if you just say you have back problems to a doctor in the hospital they wont treat it too seriously. youll have to really give them an incentive to give you a proper diagnosis because so many people have back problems.

Let me cautiously recommend strengthening your back with squats and trapbar deads while ALWAYS USING GOOD FORM! My back used to give me problems, but I've not had an occurence in two years now, and I attribute squats and the trapbar deads as to the reason why. I've even heard of guys with scoliosis pain that's been removed by a good lifting program.

This is also sound advice but proper form here is very important as its an easy way to also fuck up the back


Ride it like you stole it!!

sell the drugs and use that money to get some better healthcare or something. because everyone sits in front of the computer with bad position, back problems are extremely common nowadays so doctors usually dont bother treating them properly. tell them you got these from lifting and they might be more inclined to help you.

what drugs are they? if theyre hydrocodone you might be able to sell them. you can def sell oxycodone and morphine for cash with oxy being much more popular. dont just go out to the 'hood' and ask some random shady asshole if he can sell them for you, you will never see your drugs or money again. you might decide against this because it might seem immoral its up to you. i dont know how much these pills go for because its been a while since i dabbled in narcotics

review your technique. id suggest doing assistance/rehab exercises for your lower back. stretch your back. DONT keep testing your back to see if it hurts. if it hurts when you stretch/lift back off and take it lighter. if the reverse hyper machine really lives up to the hype then it might be worth purchasing i cant give any comments on this but apparently its great rehab work. have you seen a physiotherapist or chiropractor?

are you kidding me? you are encouraging this guy to go and sell narcotics..... wow

i have problems with my lower back. "sciatic" is what i think it's called. got it from a car accident a few years back, and just like you when i go to the doc bc of the pain they just try to script me pain killers.

what i do now, to combat this problem, is to just adjust my workouts around my back. i can still do hyperextensions, squats, rack pulls, etc.

you just have to be mindful of what you can/cant do. what does/doesn't work for you.

Get an MRI done. I amspeaking from experience. I was actually younger than you and the treatment was always nsaids and some streching. I also had a 6 month old and could not pick him up.

After 8 years of this BS treatment, I couldnt walk 100 yards without my legs falling asleep and I would fall over no matter where I was.

So I finally paid for my own MRI and I was in surgery 3 days later. Fused L4-L5-S1. Took forever to recover from the surgery, but I will never regret that day.

It changed my life. I can do just about everything as before, with the exception of barbell squats. I am not sure if I want to risk that. I just use DB held at my sides.

Surgery is not for everyone, but it is an option if all else has been exhausted.

To maybe try and avoid surgery, buy a sleep number bed. I would sleep on the floor or put a piece of plywood under my side of the bed to get it hard enough. The sleep number bed you can find the best support everytime you go to bed.
