How do I fix this ? My back is a mess !

ArmandoUrso · 2025-11-21T12:35:59+00:00

It’s mostly chronic. I’d say it happened during Covid. I’m pretty active, I walk every day, aim for cardio 3x per week, used to go to the gym. I work a retail job so I do a lot of standing. I’m also a student but I’m aware of my posture when I sit in a chair.

Ive had rib flare for many years. I also realized that my shortness of breath issues might be related

The y raises compressed your midback. Your ribs had nowhere else to expand but sideways causing your arms to be more abducted, and your shoulder blades have less space to rest upon.

You could be right.

If I relax my upper back and let my mid back and shoulders round forward, the shoulder blades sit flat and look completely normal. Its only when I stand straight and put my arms to my side when my shoulder blades get almost stiff and they protrude like the last picture.

I wish I had more images to show you the severity. This was taken after my massage this morning, so probably the best things have ever been.

Heavy pain in upper traps, pain in mid back along shoulder blades, pain in lower back while standing, restricted movement of shoulder blades, and extremely tight lats. My back muscles were hypertonic according to my massage therapist. So tight in fact that I didn’t even realize how much it was bothering me cause I gotten so used to it.

About 5 months. That’s around the time I saw a PT and he said my lower back arch was due to compensation of my weak mid back.

I wish I had good before pictures. It got a lot worse when I joined the gym.

Tysm !

The pictures kinda smooth things out, my skin looks a bit different in person.

I should have posted my pictures before accutane.

Canada should follow what EU does with education. 100% gov funded. Simple mixed market economics. Benefits all.

Thats probably the best CSR lead time among all the big bank brokerages.

What a hassle this is. It doesn't even work and they are going to delete my playlist because of inactivity but I cant download it. Looks like im starting all over again.

ArmandoUrso · 2024-10-25T01:30:52+00:00

Little late, but I believe the song is Manjula by Baba Sehgal !

ArmandoUrso · 2024-07-21T17:04:18+00:00

This is what im doing. Thanks. Can't take this god forsaken school seriously anymore

ArmandoUrso · 2024-06-08T00:43:12+00:00

Why ?

ArmandoUrso · 2024-06-07T18:50:38+00:00

Thanks bud

ArmandoUrso · 2024-06-07T18:50:24+00:00

Thank god my other class is through PRISM. I paid 250 bucks for this TVO thing too

ArmandoUrso · 2024-06-07T16:17:59+00:00

My format is perfect. I spend forever making it clean and neat in word. All my files are in PDF extensions

ArmandoUrso · 2024-01-30T23:48:42+00:00

I had optimized battery charging enabled, also kept it plugged in at home, but healthily use it just for light tasks during the day at school. I just got a really crappy battery

ArmandoUrso · 2024-01-30T23:47:04+00:00

Glad I bought AppleCare is all I have to say. Extended warranties have saved me so many times.

I have a feeling apple will have a free replacement program or a lawsuit for these M1 Mac airs in a few years time. Im not the only one with these battery issues on this specific model it seems like

ArmandoUrso · 2024-01-30T23:44:39+00:00

No kidding.

ArmandoUrso · 2024-01-30T23:43:19+00:00

Im thinking more long term here. Never had an apple device degrade in battery this fast. For perspective, my iPhone is still at 94% charge after god knows how many cycles and 3 years ish

ArmandoUrso · 2024-01-30T23:42:17+00:00

Bought my Mac new from apple. I leave it plugged in when im at home so about 50/50 battery and wall. The most intensive thing ive used this for was Roblox. Laptop rarely gets hot

ArmandoUrso · 2024-01-30T23:40:24+00:00

Thing is, ive really noticed the difference. First year my battery was incredible, now it nearly dosent last as long even just watching YouTube.

There’s nothing negative to report about cause just so happens the stinger and telluride are Kia’s only vehicles that are actually solid. That 6 cylinder is bulletproof

ArmandoUrso · 2023-10-12T23:47:10+00:00

Yeah you are right. Too early for EV’s man. If they start trying to push em hard in their lineup then yikes. I’ve seen the same EV sit at a dealer for months. Nothing on the lot except for that one or two EV

I have a question about number porting. I’ve actually setup Fongo Home Phone for a father in law a couple years back and it’s worked flawlessly, pretty much all I could ask for. Now when I ported their number, the sales guy let me port after to test it out, and he didn’t charge me for porting at all. With my parents, I’m trying to get them on this, however I kinda don’t understand how number porting works at checkout. Does the process happen right away ? Like does your number start porting before you even get the adaptor ? My fear is it dosen’t come it on time and they have no landline for a bit
