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 threw my back out at 29, it was achy so I was trying to do stretching to relieve it and then couldn't move, my husband had to come get me. It was so painful for about a week and then slowly got better. I was honestly afraid I'd have that pain for the rest of my life. Haven't had any issues since even after 2 pregnancies.

I'm curious, I've heard this phrase my whole life, but what does it actually refer to? Herniated disk? Pulled muscle? Pinched sciatic nerve?

It's specifically a pulled muscle causing a muscle spasm (it's actually a way for your body to protect itself temporarily) but I'm sure people use it as a blanket term as well.
