I would absolutely love a synthetic spine. I'm 36 and my back is just miserable.
It would be one thing if it consistently got relief from something, but it's a constant shell game. Will heat help today? Will ibuprofen work this afternoon? Is PT going to help this time or make me feel terrible?
It's just a terrible process to go through and makes me want to go around telling everyone to sit up straight, stand more and do core exercises.
That’s so rough and sounds really miserable. You may already be doing it or been suggested it a million times but regular yoga (even 10 mins a day) can be a miracle for back pain. I learned from a personal trainer that, for lower back pain, strengthening your glutes is the key, don’t skip ass day at the gym
Nah, I actually haven't been recommended yoga. Honestly, it's lately been really bothering me how stiff I am. I'll look into a routine and give it a try, although I don't know what I'm doing.

Lmao you’ve made a good point but the thought of needing a break from your legs is funny. I would take it after a 12 hour shift
