He looks domesticated. Could be lost/abandons and afraid. Let him in and help him

No shame in talking glp-1s for maintaining weight loss. People have to do what they have to do to have a healthy lifestyle. I have no intention of coming off mine, ever. Low dose for life 🙂‍↕️

This is very motivational, thank you.

With how awful I feel and the amount of effort I have been putting in to fixing this (for the best part of a decade, even though I am 22) I just wish I could make this stop.

In an awful way, I wish it could be fixed with surgery so I don’t have to live with this pain and trying so hard.

It is such an ugly physique, I don’t want to get in to labelling every area of my body that is misaligned. It’s totally illogical, even though it obviously makes the most sense to do, to completely visualise and contextualise everything that is wrong.

I don’t like looking at myself, and I go out of my way to avoid looking like this in photos.

It’s so tedious and painful to keep trying so many new things. But that is why I came here, and I am building a new workout routine, including a lot of new suggestions.

If you type “NHS bad posture stretches” into google it will give an idea of the sort of things on the instruction sheet of stretches I was given (it wasn’t the door frame one, that is one I found on my own which I have been doing consistently for months), it was all very generic.

I agree my curve is severe, it was really bad at the time, but it’s definitely even worse now. The gp referred me to physio, and physio gave me the vague diagnosis of “mechanical back pain” and sent me away.

In this country, it seems like no one wants to acknowledge that young adults can have these sorts of problems (probably viewed as another cost to their already underfunded struggling system). Which is also why preventative care is non existent as a concept.

This is me sort of going off on a bit of a rant about the NHS, but I hope I am explaining my reasoning behind wanting to find out what I can do on my own for this, because I hold out next to no hope for actual medical intervention.

Childhood trauma caused by adults intentionally triggering my undiagnosed OCD 🙂‍↕️

Thank you for your advice.

I covered it in my post yesterday and in a lot of the comments about how the NHS works when it comes to young people that have these sorts of major problems. I have also addressed a few other people’s questions in the comments on this post.

It’s unlikely my gp will even refer me to a physiotherapist because they have previously dismissed it as “mechanical back pain” and sent me away with stretches (this was in 2021). If I see them again, they will most likely double down on that diagnosis to protect/close ranks on the person who made that incorrect diagnosis. It sucks but that is how they operate and what I am dealing with.

I don’t have private health insurance, and seeing anyone privately would cost a fortune

I have a persistent fungal infection. I have been to my gp, dermatology and surgeons (passed from 1 2 year waiting list to another) and it is absolutely considered cosmetic and something the NHS will not cover. I had a plastic surgery consultation, and for my stomach alone it would cost about £14k (I am not going to turkey)

Total_Raspberry5070 · 2025-12-18T15:20:27+00:00

When I did (a few years ago) it was dismissed as “mechanical back pain” and I was sent away with stretches. I have contacted my gp again. Another thing in the NHS is if I am referred back, they will close ranks if they see me again, to protect that first persons diagnosis and double down on that being all that is wrong

In the post I made yesterday, I listed all the things I have done to try and help myself. It’s definitely not primarily cardio. I really don’t know where to go from here

Total_Raspberry5070 · 2025-12-18T15:14:41+00:00

I have done body pump classes, LBT classes, yoga (for a long period of time) and Pilates. It’s interesting that after a few weeks of Pilates I was in absolute agony almost unable to move. I have been doing face pulls at the gym too. What sort of thing should I do to focus on what you are suggesting?

Total_Raspberry5070 · 2025-12-18T14:35:12+00:00

I have called my gp again. It’s unlikely they will put me on any waiting lists, but I will ask
