Why does a bad posture give you back pain.
Is it because the muscles are strained?
Maybe pinched nerves. From wonky spine.
I don’t know?
Hmm, I don’t know. I get back pain when I start my menstrual period, when I am cleaning the litter boxes (bending over), when I am doing the dishes (standing at the sink), when walking around and wearing my mini backpack purse (maybe because of the weight?), and other random tasks. I don’t know why it suddenly flares up, meaning I don’t know the mechanism behind it.

Sorry to hear that…
Maybe they will come up with a medication that might help. I don’t know.
Depends on them knowing the causes too though.
I’ve just got a temporary back ache. It does suck though. I need to work on my posture.

I don’t know why but I’ve heard sit ups and working on your core is good for back pain. I think its because the stronger muscles hold the stuff in the proper position.

Oh cool that’s a good thing I want to start pilates at some point then.
Yeah, exercise is good stuff. I don’t do much but it works.

Oh, yeah! I heard about that, too! I need to start exercising; it’s just so hard to do with my fibromyalgia.

That sounds hard. Have you tried swimming or stretching, I know where I live the local high school allows people to swim there once or twice a week for free in their pool.

I do like swimming. That’s easier to do than other exercises. I don’t have a membership to a gym with a pool or access to any other pool, though, on a regular basis. I hope to get a gym membership (with pool access included) in the future, though.

I have degenerative disc disease (old person back) and it basically gives me bad posture. I try to straighten up and it hurts. My neck is the worst. The arthritis is so bad it’s deforming the curvature of my neck. I hold my head funny.

There are exercises you can do to improve posture. Maybe Google it.
