Chronic Back Pain.

rakski @rakski (133210) • Philippines 8 Feb

I had a teleconsult with a doctor a few days ago and I asked her about my right low back which I frequently experience nowadays. I am not sure if it's because of my weight or too much sitting. I have also a little tingling...

rsa101 Oh no, I believe that could be a precursor to sciatica, which I have had for some time. All of the above is the cause. Being overweight and sitting for extended periods of time can compress your back, impinge on your nerves, and cause a tingling sensation in...

Question of the Day: How does Rain Effect Your Mood

DB @dgobucks226 (36151) 7 Feb

In what ways does rain effect your mood. After reading some old peanuts comic strips which used rain as a topic, it made me wonder just what mood would pertain to me. Maybe you feel the same about rain as I do. Or you might be...

rsa101 It appears that every trip may have some bumps. I believe there are no trips that go flawlessly. There will be hiccups, so you will just have to adjust and enjoy it when the opportunity arises. I hope that you are able to resolve your issues along the way.
