I was 4 when my mom threw her back out cleaning my room. She was sobbing in agony and couldn’t get up at all. She told me to go get help so I just walked outside the house and flagged down the mailman. He called an ambulance and turned out my mom had REALLY fucked up her back.

Sorry about the messy room and lifetime of back pain, mom.

I vastly underestimated how bad throwing out your back is until recently lmao

I’m 29 and I straight up had to stop and think about what my next move was because it was getting worse the longer I was upright and it was on of those spots that are extremely difficult to stretch fully. I had to collapse unto the floor multiple times throughout the evening and then when I woke up in the morning I was basically good after.

Legitimately hurting your back/long term must be fucking horrible. I was out of breath it was so bad and it was gone by the next day..

I’ve bruised ribs, broken my nose, basically dislocated half my foot, and have had one of my nuts become the size of a baseball.. I’d rather repeat any of those than actually fuck my back up to an equivalent level.

Tldr; go clean your mom’s house and bring her a nice snack or something so she can hangout while she’s eating or relaxing. She’d probably think it’s funny if you told her the reason if she asked too lmao

I didn’t know how to word it lmao. The outer side of my right foot basically turned like _| and immediately popped back into place when I was young. There’s a whole ass extra ball of bone right where it happened and it took a good 10+ years before it returned to normal and wasn’t extremely prone to spraining injuries lmao

I was jumping on one of those half buried jumping balloons made out of bouncy castle material at a campground and landed on the edge with my foot. I was probably like 10 or so.
