I feel for them. I really do. I just couldn't imagine never being able to just be alone. Not even for just one single second. Everyone needs time alone sometimes.

True, but in some ways it's not as bad for them because they've never known that feeling, so maybe they don't know why people would particularly want it. Like if I asked you if you ever want to spend time away from your legs. I know it's not the same because it's another person but just saying they might never think about that at all.

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

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.

I know it's not what you want to hear but the best fix for a common bad back is $$

Get an expensive stuff mattress

Drop $1000 on a proper ergonomic chair

Invest in your posture and work on your core muscles a lot.

My back at 37 feels miles better than it did at 30 between losing weight and acquiring the above items.

Edit: didn't read your post fully. I'm just agreeing with you.

Appreciate it, definitely get that. We dropped $4k on a Temperpedic a while back and it helped a lot, especially when my back seized up completely.

As for my chair, I currently have a Leap V2 and it's helped a lot. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I've just been too sedentary and let my muscles deteriorate too much.
