Nobody gets Back Pains here?

your post really scared me. I'm gonna spend less time online from now on.

 

drink lot of milk.

 

Great advice indeed, if you want Sinus problems to go along with your back pain.

 

Drink Soya milk instead.
Rice milk tasted good too.
Some brands have all the calcium you need.

 

I used to get back pains. I have an 8 hour desk job and then work for myself for another 4-6 hours. So, 14 hours a day in front of a comp in a day are quite standard for me. I used to get back pains but after speaking to an OSH (Occupations safety and health) rep a few months ago and making some changes, it's all good now!

1. Get a proper chair and make sure that the chair's back "always" supports your back.
2. If your chair doesn't have an adjustable back, pull it up closer to the desk so that your back is flush against the back of the chair (all of your back, not just upper or lower back).
3. You should sit in a position such that your elbows form a right angle and so do your knees. So, adjust the height of your chair to attain this.
4. A bit off-topic, but if you want to avoid getting glasses push your monitor as far back as possible as you can comfortably do. If you get too close and work long hours, you will soon need glasses.
5. If you already have glasses, get contact lenses if you can. The distance between your eyes and the glasses can cause your eyesight to slowly deteriorate. This is avoided if you get lenses. I have day and night monthly disposable lenses now and I just need to change them once a month (no hassle)
6. Back to the back (and eyes), take a break for 2-4 minutes every hour on the hour. Walk around the room and strech a little. Also, every few minutes try and looking around the room and if you are close to a window look out the window. It's good to look far away as this makes sure that your eyes don't suffer by constantly looking at the monitor.
7. Get a chair with arms so your elbows rest on the arms when you type.
8. Get a desk with adjustable height for your keyboard (if you can) so that your elbows make that right angle.
9. Get a keyboard and mouse with ergonomic design.

Hope this helps!

Try doing three sets of 30 sit ups per day. Strengthening the abdomen is the key to reducing back pain.

 

hmm ok , i will do 300 sit ups .

 

I believe that is really important, strong abdominal muscles can really make a diference in back pains.
I used to do sit ups and no back pains, now i didn't do any in years and the results...

 

What is the result now?

 

Really? Don't get hurt? If you get backpains then you aren't in a good shape and if you aren't in a good shape then you wouldn't feel good after 100 situps I think. But 300??

 

Actually, if you train your abdomen too heavily you get imbalance again which can again strain your back

So after the situps also turn around and pull your feet and head up to train your back.

 

Yeah, 10 percent of sinus sufferers have a milk allergy.

 

Many people put heat pads on their backs when they have pain. It's actually better to ICE your back to relieve the inflamation.

Or you can alternate heat and ice (15 - 20 mins each) for the best results.

 

Saif nothing about allergies. Glue is made of casein which is present in milk a vast quantities.

Can you put one and one together? Milk - Glue - Mucous - Clogged Up - Sinus Problems etc. etc.

 

Hey casein rocks..I consume as much of it as I possibly can daily...

mmm, cottage cheese...

 

Which is why i said, 3 sets of 30, not 300 like someone suggested. Just a good average regiment.

I've not had back pain in almost 2 years as a result of this, and other exercise, though last week I did hurt my back doing a simple task, forgot to bend at the knees. I had been squatting over 250 all week, and then went to lift something that was under 50lbs and got hurt.

This type of injury had nothing to do with under or over toned abdominal muscles btw.

Just take it easy and start slow. You will notice a difference. Get a membership to a gym. They have a machine specifically designed for strengthening the lower back. It will help!

 

Fat belly and back pains...

 

I suggest this chair very confortable, it can even make you sleep forever

 

I find crunches to be easier on the back than sit ups.

Bruce Lee apparently suffered terrible back pain, after lifting too much weight (deadlift I think it was).

 

Backs can get damaged by wrong posture and bad work practices. Read my recent posts at:
