My Third Therapy Session / myLot

Philippines

March 18, 2023 2:32am CST

I woke up early and my roommate asked me if I want to go to the 711 in front of the dorm. We ate bread. After eating, I did my laundry. And slept after. I woke up at 1:24pm just in time to prepare for my 3 pm therapy appointment. It's already past 32 minutes and still waiting for my turn. They have more patients now than the previous week. They have poor scheduling. I want to go to the doctor after the therapy for xray. I want to know why my mid back is aching.

Haven't you got x-rayed before going to the therapist?

@rakski I thought they will refer me to the doctor for xray. I think because the finding is only muscle spasm, they did not consider the bones. But I still feel the bone aching or just the muscle , I don't know. I am now lying on my right side, I am moving my left leg up and down and pressing the pain on my back, I can feel the pain when my leg is moving. But I don't feel it while walking.

Oh boy, hoping there's nothing serious about your mid back aching. I suspect you have high uric acid. Stop drinking coke and coffee, too sugary and too salty foremost get rid if vinegar.

@jobelbojel You should go for MRI, it may be a case of slipped disc. My wife is facing it since the last two years.

I don't drink coffee or coke. I think DE is right. It is the posture.

Has your doctor already told you that your posture when you're working on a computer is bad? You don't sit up straight all the time and slumping makes your back hurt?

One is posture, you are right! And the pandemic allowed this vicious cycle to happen. I hated it when I did not take care of how I sit all day without leaving the computer table unattended.

@jobelbojel Posture is always one of the things doctors complain about when diagnosing back problems.

Now we also need make appointment in adance to see a doctor,if it's weekend,we also need line up even if we made a appointment.there are more patients at weekend.But there are not much at weekdays.Maybe this way to see doctor is reasonable,but for some people who don't know how to appoint on Phone,this would be a torture.

@jobelbojel ,we can't call the doctor,because the line is alway busy,don't know why.Just make an appointment with doctor by APP on phone,then fulfill the appointment on time,if can't fulfill appointment due to sth,just cancel it on phone.

Oh, sad...you should get MRI done for your back. Is it the tailbone that is hurting?

@jobelbojel Sorry your therapy is not working. Back pain is hard to treat.

Hope your back will be better soon. (I tried to move our piano once - unsuccessfully - and had a back pain for three months. During that time, I often just flopped on the bed, looking at the ceiling! a slightly hard mattress did help back then. )
