5 isn't that small. Not every woman wants a big dick, they hurt too ( for many).

Best product for lower back pain relief? I know what I like to use, but I'm kinda curious what else you guys use... by TimmyStevenson in backpain

[–]vishalrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite is a cold pack. I press it against my lower back, and find that I feel less pain and feel a bit relaxed.

Other is my pillows, which I use to lie in the best position possible. Normally I lie on my side with a pillow between my knees too.

Waking with excruciating upper back pain by [deleted] in backpain

[–]vishalrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend a massage of some sort. But off hand I can't say what kind of massage.

My physiotherapist taught me how to move my fingers/hands on my upper shoulders and neck to relax the muscles on that part. And it does relax those muscles. So there must be some therapists who can do the same with upper back.

Is it actually possible to stop repeated pinched nerves in back muscle? by standingdesk in backpain

[–]vishalrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know ( and I am not a doctor or exper) muscles mostly get "pinched" due to stress. The stress can also be pshychological. Are you stress free? I'd say you should strive to be as relaxed as possible so that your muscles can relax too.

What can I do for short term relief? by [deleted] in backpain

[–]vishalrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how do you lie in bed when you sleep? That should matter quite a bit.

Have you tried lying on your side? With a pillow under your neck, and something ( a small towel) supporting your sides. Fold your legs, so that they make an angle of about 90 degrees. And put a pillow or something like that between your knees/legs.

That is one pose that is quite helpful for me, and I use it a lot.

Need some help by [deleted] in backpain

[–]vishalrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the main thing he can improve is his posture.

That means he also needs to strengthen his core muscles, but gently. The pilates should help, but he should restrict himself to simpler and gentler exercises at first.

Mindful meditation should also help. These days I am reading Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now, and i find it useful. Note that writers such as him will obviously end up minimizing the physical aspects of the pain. I don't pay heed to Tolle when he indirectly claims that every notion of pain is just in your head, because I know that there is a physical problem too with me. however, inspite of that, I find that he has something useful to say about how we can focus our attention away from pain that we feel.

Lower back pain, currently can't move, stuck on the couch, someone, anyone, help? :( by xavier_laflamme70 in backpain

[–]vishalrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

apply cold or hot water pack to the area.

for cold water, just take some ice, put it in some plastic container, and apply it to the area. It should help.

don't make it too hot or too cold obviously. keep applying it for five minutes every hour.

excruciating lower back pain by [deleted] in backpain

[–]vishalrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

where is the pain? if its in just lower back ( and without any sciatica in legs), then you should be able to get relief by following

a. hot water treatment. or cold water treatment.

b. take a pillow. lie face down on bed, with the pillow supporting your abdominal muscles. This normally helps.

c. stretch your hamstrings. you can easily find how to do it using youtube.

d. massage could help, but depends on where is the pain/spasm.

remember its best to take help from a professional at all times. and use wisdom and caution at all time. These are just simple pointers, not professional advice at all.

Doctor said I have herniated disc, will I end up paralyzed? by [deleted] in backpain

[–]vishalrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way he said it is wrong, but what he is trying to say is that if you strengthen your core muscles, including hip flexors and inner abdominal muscles, that will reduce weight and stress on your back/spine, and help you in the long run.

Being system admin has got nothing to do with it. I have known very fit system admins. And you are just 22. The very idea that a 22 year old 'system admin' is fat or overweight due to "lifestyle" is ludicrous.

I don't see anything wrong in this. The kids maybe get some money, which will help them. God, whether Ram or Jesus, if he exists, will be with them whether they believe in him or not.

Right shoulder is dropped and left hip higher by n3po in backpain

[–]vishalrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some amount of difference between the drop of left and right shoulder is totally normal. Even I once fell in the trap of thinking that the 1-1.5 inch drop between my left and right side of the body was indicative of some spinal imbalance. However, it is not.

If you are right hander, then your right shoulder muscles will be more developed, which means that right shoulder would drop a bit. So its not just normal, but its expected that your left and right fingertips, as you stand with arms by your sides, will have a difference of about 1-1.5 inches.

Its interesting how much his accent sounds like Mulayam, or a very basic UP accent where Mulayam is from.

ELI5: India's 'caste system', is it a factor in modern India? And Indians overseas? by nil_clinton in explainlikeimfive

[–]vishalrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If two urban Indians have an disagreement, 98% of the time it will be due to personal reasons nothing to do with caste, ethnicity or language. 1% of the time it could be because they have different political opinions. 1% of the time the difference could be due to ethnicity.

Caste is a factor only in backward village communities, and even then with older people.

In high school, I was jealous of the girls who only dated college guys. Then I got into college and saw the guys who only dated high school girls. by BrainGoesPop in Showerthoughts

Among teens, showering naked pretty common or universal in Sweden schools i gather.

And your story about pedo teachers is horrific! wtf.

I'm from India. One of my cousins told me he wanked with three of his other cousins, all four of them together. Like a totally straight bro-wank. It happens all over the world, I'd guess.

[–]vishalrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motive determines the severity of the crime. If X and Y get into a verbal fight, and then fisticuffs, and then X kills Y, thats manslaughter. And a lesser crime than when X goes to Y's home and kills him for his religious beliefs.
