You went to the wrong doctor 😁

Yeah, definitely, but I’ve done a lot of reading on the matter and have a basic understanding of anatomy to know how to work with it, but I was hoping for a specific diagnosis.

There is a lot going on down there, SI joint, psoas, IT bands, rectus femoris.... I wanted someone to at least try to pinpoint my issues, prescribe movement corrections and retest over time, not just tell me “maybe I should use less weight when training legs” 🙄

So I become my own doc and mostly do fine. As you said, it’s generally hip flexor related so I stand often and take a long stride walk as a a warm up. my body hates a hip hinge so deadlift variations are no good. Using them now at home due to less equipment but I’m wary

Not counterintuitive at all hip flexors tighten excessively with prolonged sitting. Sexentary jobs at regular desks cause a ton of back issues. I see it all the time. My problem is getting patients to buy in to the fact that tight muscles is the cause of their back pain. Most now want a pill or a shot with absolutely no effort by the patient in fixing their issue...

To respond to your earlier post, you went to the wrong doctor 🤠

I want one of those sexentary jobs. At least I think I do.

Edit: Dmmit you bunch of blowhards before me

Anyone tried acupuncture for back pain, if so what were the results?

If acupuncture works for you (many times, it means that you found a good acupuncturist), then it can really help control the pain.
people need to understand the limits of any therapy though. Acupuncture is only for pain control. It doesn’t address the underlying issue that caused the pain.

Finding the root cause of the painful spine condition is key.

That’s one of my hold ups on trying it. Well that and a needle phobia. I have a friend from HS that’s been practicing it for about 15 years and keeps trying to talk me into trying it. I can get over the needle fear for 1 or 2 times but doing it for an extended period just ain’t gonna wok out for me.

Try it once. Truly good acupuncture not only doesn’t hurt, but you will barely feel the needle. It will feel like mild pressure.

If acupuncture hurts then the acupuncturist sucks. Find a different one.

But are the jobs paying minimum wage the ones meant to provide a living? Some people demand more money for a job that a computer can do, then lose their job to a computer. There are so many jobs willing to pay more than minimum wage. Even in those same fast-food restaurants. They practically beg people to be shift-leaders and work their way toward managing.

True...but I know a lady at a local Mickey Ds that got dumped by her cheating scumbag husband at 42 after their kids were raised and gone, she married him after getting pregnant and dropping out her senior year of high school. Long story short, she started out there as a nothing and worked her way up to shift leader..I asked her if she had gotten a big raise, and she said no, it was just more responsibility, and a few more hours.

I refuse to use those stupid computers, and the only time I use a self checkout is when the line us way too long, and I wish everybody else would too.


People are jerks for crapping on lower level labor. I respect people that are trying to work and do the best they can, and we don't have a clue what any other persons circumstances are.

Like I said....nobody can live on minimum wage as it is now...it is a bad joke.

How was this PI?

That was the game where I seriously contemplated my Vols fandom. Once OU made it 17-10 there was just such a strong feeling of inevitability. I just knew we were going to go ultra conservative and Mayfield would start making big plays. Didn't help that Butch looked like he was about to be led towards the electric chair throughout the entire second half.
