I’ve been struggling with my lower back/sciatica pain for about three months now. I’m 21 and am a pretty advanced weight lifter. It all started with a severe episode of sciatica down my right leg about three months ago. It was immobilizing and the most painful thing I have ever experienced. The doctors took xrays and said there was nothing structurally wrong with my back (no bulging discs or anything) other than some "mild scoliosis". The diagnosed it as a lower back muscle spasms. I was given muscle relaxants and some physical therapy exercises to do at home. It took the pills and did the exercises and it seemed to go away for the most part.
When I came back from school I started working at my job which requires me to stand for 4-8 hours at a time. I work out in the morning and this seems to help the pain throughout the first part of the day, but towards the end of the day it gets very bad and it becomes very hard to stand. So basically it seems like the pain resets after I sleep at night and then gets agitated by standing for so long. Also, when my right leg starts to hurt during my day I start leaning on my left leg, but then the sciatic pain shifts to that leg eventually too which has never happened before.
I am scheduling a doctors appointment tomorrow, but I’d like to see if anyone has any opinions on what could be wrong with me. I’m getting very frustrated and don’t feel like I can take much more…

The muscles around my throat are tight, and the muscles on the back and sides of my neck are loose.
I used to slouch pretty bad, and I sleep in class all the time (I’m trying to stop, as it only seems to stretch out my neck more.) I’ve found a really good neck stretch that stretches out the back of the neck (not what I want), but when used used in the "inverse" position loosens up the muscles closer to my chin (which is good.) It’s called the "Upper Trapezius/Neck Stretch" and works great.
So I’m halfway there. Is there a stretch/position/exercise that tighten the back/sides of the neck?
10pts. (and a sacrificial lamb) to the best answer!!!
Damn, I hate spam.
I’ve had chronic back pain for the past two years. I’ve seen a physical therapist off and on for the past three years with little success. I just started seeing a chiropractor and he gave me a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease. It completely matches my symptoms. I’ve started the treatment and I haven’t noticed a difference yet. It’s also going to cost a lot and insurance won’t help much.
I know that some health care practitioners are skeptical about chiropractic medicine. What are your thoughts?
and even hypnotherapy? Especially if the injuries are service connected.
that’s fantastic dee but they don’t give out meds that work, that in itself is a huge issue, don’t you think?
The advantages which your body will obtain by doing aerobic training are absolutely considerable. People worldwide are continuously trying to find new and more healthy ways to work out. A lot of of those persons are falling into a really harmful health scenario on account of past immobility and overeating. Health care professionals and fitness consultants alike have been pushing aerobic exercise for many years as a safe and needed technique for getting in shape. I’d suggest that you just significantly contemplate getting involved in an aerobic exercise program yourself.
There are simply too numerous advantages of aerobics to say quickly. However, there are a couple of that stick out as extremely imperative. For instance, the best way that you can be sure you are living a wholesome life is to get your heart pace pumping, and the absolute best strategy to get your heart rate going is to search out one thing that you are able to do like aerobics, that involves fixed movement devoid of any resting. To be able to be actually and really wholesome, you could have to be able to have a relentless movement and to get your heart rate going for a length of time. Permitting your heart to keep going a higher rate than resting for a set amount of time is one of the greatest ways to get in good health, as a result of this provides blood and oxygen to every part of your body at a good quicker speed. Your vascular system will likely be strengthened which is able to decrease you risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular illnesses.
There are also many extra advantages of aerobics that you just might not have even realized. Besides for making your heart and lungs strong, aerobics makes all your muscle groups more powerful as a result of you must keep them moving for longer intervals of time with out stopping. Which means it doesn’t matter what part of your body you’re concentrating your aerobics on working, you are going to find that you are getting stronger and more powerful as time goes on.
Why not verify with your family doctor and get him or her to go over all the various health advantages of working out aerobically. You will uncover that there is a very large listing of these benefits. You should be seeking the recommendation of your family physician anyway, earlier than beginning any form of work out program, particularly when you have been idle for a protracted interval of time. There may very well be some underlying personal well being issues which you have got and which have to be addressed in advance. When you get the green light out of your physician, you need to get going on your program right away. When you begin working out aerobically in addition to eating properly, you will hardly believe how good you are feeling every day.
I have a really bad set of muscles at the back of my neck on one side where neck meets skull. They are as a result of a problem I have with a nervous twitch I have with my tongue. They are getting worse as they are building up in strength as the twitch continues, they hurt more, so I get stressed and my tongue twitches more!…its a vicious cycle!
