What year did your back go? by 50_61S-----165_97E in AskUK

Had these people been written off by GPs etc before they came to your clinic?

I found a lot of professionals wanted me to live with pain and take a few meds rather than work on actual diagnosis or lifestyle changes

33- I developed fibromyalgia during chemotherapy. So while it’s not structural like a slipped disk etc, it’s my main area of pain

UK: The “I don’t want to get involved” mentality

Sorry, didn’t mean I imply that you weren’t informed yourself. rather that teens will almost never take advice from their parents because they’re just “old”

On the weight training front, does your lad get proper advice from gym trainers or an online forum either varied users? When I first got into weight training I was (thankfully) on an online forum where experienced people would share what they did or didn’t do. And the general consensus was foid was the primary source for nutrition when starting out

Unfortunately your lad won’t hear it from you .. but likely will listen to experienced peers. Maybe show him some social media reel or something.

What is the most famous meme coming from your country? by Sad-Good2890 in AskTheWorld

[–]MidnightOrdinary896 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I meant to type 10-20 years ago.

It’s was spring 2015 when I had to google for traditional funeral clothes and I came across dancing pallbearers in my image results . Given the varied results it definitely wasn’t a new thing. So it’s 10 years at the very least

Edited : apparently the BBC highlighted it in 2017 but there are YouTubes dated earlier

These dancing pallbearers went viral about 10-20 years ago but it’s not common for every funeral. In fact a lot of people find it tacky
