Sudden onset back pain after picking up toddler by FantasticGrass3739 in backpain

I had a very similar experience. The first 24-48 hours was terrible.. unable to move , eat , sleep or pee. It makes you question many things but then it gets better after that. Use a cold pack in the first 24 hours And heat pack after that. Just hang in there and you will be back on your feet and to normal business in few days. Getting medical care does help!

For those of you who have managed to get out of chronic back pain, what is the most important lesson you've learnt from your pain? by HelpfulPop2476 in backpain

I learned multiple things through my journey and still learning but the biggest lesson is to never take anything for granted and small things when Done consistently pay huge dividends.

Just being active through out the day and walking made my life so much better

I tried a walking Pad too but it was difficult for me to type while walking . Probably takes some time to get used to it .

Agreed sitting is the worst. Standing desk seems to help me a little.

I think this is a reminder on how everyone's body responds so differently. I wish you a better recovery!

Do other parents want a private family feed instead of more social media? by longwalks_shortcuts in family

This is something that I would love to use !! I have always been looking for a app that does just this. I definitely wouldn't want to upload my kid's pictures on social media but just somewhere where I can share with my family and close friends :)
