I do a lot of workouts to help my lower back including glutes because I have something going on in my lower back that the Drs shrug their shoulders over and say “it’s probably just a strain”. Never know when or how it’s gonna go but it does about once a year and always from some weird non weight bearing movement.

Lower back went out working in the garden over the weekend as I bent down to pick up weeds. It’s frustrating as heck.

The last time mine went out I bent over and picked up a towel. Instantly crippled. When I have those episodes I can actually look at myself in the mirror (without a shirt on) and my spine is crooked. Chiropractors call it a subluxation of the vertebrae, it shifts out of place and get on a nerve. Until I get my spine straightened I have pain. Inversion helps keep me straight. I’m no Dr just posting my personal experiences

I’ll check into the inversion table. I’ve had several people suggest trying one out.

Same. Always the small stuff. People will ask how I did it and I'm tempted to tell them I was lifting 350 at the gym...when really I just picked up a cat toy.

I have really had to train myself to bend with my knees and keep my back curved back. Even the slightest forward bend can wreck me. Between this and using a back bender occassionally, I haven't had a serious issue in over 2 years. Before that, I would throw it out for an entire week, every 6 months.

How often do you look at your shirtless self in the mirror?

Hips getting out of alignment may be a cause of this as well. Had issues so bad I could not walk. Literally shuffled bent over into the chiro visit. They used the activator method and got my hips back into alignment. Two weeks later I was able to walk 10,000 steps per day again. Taught me a few techniques like the legs extended up a wall with my tail against the baseboard that I still do regularly. Stretches the hamstrings and calves, which also pulls the hips out of alignment if they get to tight.

An inversion table should help with that as well. However, for me it was getting the hips right first.

Flu has a vaccine that doesn’t work very well.

You just going to argue with everything said about this issue? Why don’t you look up the stats on child flu deaths the last few years? Yes, 80%+ from unvaccinated children.

The vaccine doesn’t necessarily prevent you from getting the flu, but it does mitigate your symptoms. I swear, ask YOUR doctor what he/she thinks about it.

If you can find a McKenzie certified PT around you go see them. They usually will know more than docs about back pain.

Again, didn’t say you shouldn’t get one. I just said it doesn’t work very well. They miss out on the correct strain and people get the shot and then still get it.

Just look up the stats. It has a 40-60% effectiveness rate from year to year regardless of the strain. Even if you get it, it mitigates what you get so as to avoid mass hospitalizations. Again, a vast majority of pediatric deaths are unvaccinated children.

My son got the shot when he was 9. Got the flu. Got tamiflu. Had an allergic reaction and threw up constantly and was very sick. Then we are told by his pediatrician, who is very good by the way, that happens a lot with Tamiflu. He said it was worse than the flu. He wouldn’t take Tamiflu again for anything. I and all my children have got their shots. However, how many flu deaths in children in Tennessee last year? I will tell you. 11. Not enough of a sample base to prove anything scientifically.
