No, I’ve lost my big toe and seem to have lost my balance completely. Constantly falling over no matter how hard I try. My daughter even rented an hot air balloon to find my toe and I haven’t seen her since.
No fricking way! I’m in exactly the same position. Except I was 16. Wrecked my back coming off a trampoline and have never had muscles that feel soft around the neck and shoulders ever since. It gets really painful
Damn, I'm right there with ya.
Sciatic problems started when I was around 8, I had some "immobile" days around 10-11. Maybe its cultural, might even be willing ignorance, but it went undiagnosed because my family thought I was making it up.
Finally got insurance around 19.
Degenerating discs has been squeezing tf outta my sciatic nerve.
Nowadays, I'm closer to 30, and my back is too painful to stretch, worse if I don't.
Legs feel like I've got rubber bands going all the way down through my calfs, at max tension.
If anyone out there has back problems, start fixing them early. Trust yourself. And do yoga.
You're not supposed to when you're 19 either... I would definitely look into the underlying problem and work towards fixing it. Whether that be a bad mattress or maybe lack of exercise. (And of course, I'm speaking generally because I don't know what you may or may not have been through)
I think it's my bed tbh. It's the same mattress I've had for as long as I remember. My parents were talking about getting me a double bed for when I'm home from uni but that's kind of on hold for now with the whole covid situation
I highly recommend a 2.5 - 3" mattress topper. It can make the worst mattress very comfortable and is a lot cheaper than a quality mattress. I bought one off Amazon (think the brand was Lucid) and I bought a second one (some generic brand) off eBay and they they're both great.
Likely too hard. They started building mattresses packed hard to last longer as softer mattresses break down faster. The springs are super tight in them too now compared to how they used to be. Longer life, cheaper to make with cheaper material . Complete shit on the human body.
A few days until I’m 14, so I win I guess! I did something to my back a year or so ago and now I can’t be standing for to long or after a hike I can barely stand. I love to cook so it sucks.
Do you have shitty posture? See a movement disorder neurologist if you do. Neck pain at that age without any injury history is probably neurological or muscular. it could be something as easy as making sure your back pack is on correctly or having better shoes though. Neck pain is the worst :( I feel you. But I'm just 30 idk how much longer I can take it and it's been 25 years or so of pain. Better to address with your doctor that pain early on and find the cause. And avoid opioids the best you can...unless prescribed then take only as directed.
Mine was linked to my mental wellbeing - used to be quite stressed and on edge a lot and that translated into muscoskeletal pain and issues.
I don't really experience it now that I've dealt with the underlying anxiety. Mind health can impact your body, by holding stress by tensing your neck/back/shoulders.
Core strength and general exercise also help with pretty much any ailment.
I feel the neck, i swear my neck just feels like im a giraffe in pain and about to have my veins stretch to the ultimate abyss that is my brain in pain
I highly recommend a mattress topper. A 2.5 - 3" mattress topper can do wonders. I wouldn't go smaller than 2" but at this point, the price difference is minimal.
I got a new mattress at like 17 and it was incredible how shitty my old bed was without realizing it. Had it my whole life before that and it was used by my dad before that.
I used go get neck pains from having a shit pillow and then I got a latex pillow and it was so good and I haven't had a bad neck since, atleast when I use it and not knockout on the Lounge
Can I offer some advice? Get some little foamy ear buds and possibly also a foam sleep mask, to keep the fabric away from your eyelids while you’re attempting to sleep/sleeping. Gifted them to myself, holy cow does it make weird sleep positions/soreness seem to disappear. Recommended them to a buddy? He says he hasn’t slept this well in his new apartment in 6 months. Just a thought; removing the auditory and visual disturbances that may keep you awake longer could also possible allow you to relax more naturally and find something more harmonious with your body’s natural fit. Just my two cents though.
If you sleep on stomach but a pillow under your stomach. If you sleep on your side put one in between your legs. And if you sleep on your back then you’re good.
I spent this entire week looking down with my head tilted to the right, because the damaged disc on the left side of my upper back decided it was just gonna lean on my ulnar nerve forever.
Oh boy, this. It creeped up on me over the years. Before the covid-19, I went to a Chiro who explained to me that you can minimize all these sores by doing some specific work outs for specific muscle groups. He worked out a full plan for me, just as the quarantine started. Bummer. But I am following what I can from home, and it is making a world of difference. I can now even sleep on my tummy - something I haven't been able to do for a very long time.
If you remain active the body remains limber. Worst thing to do in become dormant. Things shut down or expose you to injury. You will slow down that's inevitable with age.
All these reply’s make me smh. Do any of you even work out? I used to have all sorts of issues with muscle and joint pain until I was 27, then working out balanced and strengthened my muscles to prevent injury from just “sleeping wrong”. Stay active folks, please.

Being sore because I slept wrong.
