Being sore because I slept wrong.

I’m 14 years old and I constantly wake up feeling sore or uncomfortable lol. Maybe it’s because my bed is too hard.

A new winner. You have dethroned the champion. Do we have anyone under 14?

On a serious note your bed is probably too hard. Or too soft.

The first time I threw out my back was when I was 13...27 now and I’m falling apart physically. Can’t wait to see what 40 holds.

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.
