Hello. I have been dealing with bad posture for ages long time years probably. But over the past year have been developing headaches in the rear of my head and my shoulders/traps/neck are all so very tight all the time. I assume I have tension headache all the time and standing up for to long makes it worse and it feels a lot better sometimes to lay down and take the pressure of my head off my body.

I am also curious if anyone else have ever dealt with brain zaps from bad posture or looking down at your phone the incorrect way?

I have been trying to correct my posture for a long time but my shoulders still feel a little rounded and I keep poking my head out.

I have tried so many dr’s and I’m running out of options =[

18M, Not aware of weight currently, approx 5,11. Currently taking escitalopram (recent switch from Prozac) Risperidol (recent switch from olanzapine) and gabapentin, and concerta for ADHD. I have bad OCD and anxiety. And one of my hyperfixations the past month has been cracking my back and neck. I have always done it. But I do it so much more frequently now due to my OCD worsening. As it is part of a self-checking ritual I have created for temporary relief. I also have consistent clicking and crunching when I move my neck in certain ways. So I do that often as part of the ritual to check it it all feels the same. I have head headaches for a long time. Usually one sided, I got checked out when I was younger for them at a good hospital they did CT but it was non contrast (not sure what it could have missed vascular wise) but everything was clear. However I began compulsively clicking and cracking my back AFTER that. So I don’t know if the result would be different now. I crack my back by pushing my head and neck forward and my shoulders back, and I guess i kind of tense. I crack from my upper back neck all the way down. I’ve done this for a while but I took a break from doing it. Then after doing it again after a while, I guess I had a headache it wasn’t feeling well and thought maybe cracking it would fix or reverse it if it was caused by the same movement. I have felt ill ever since, the headache has improved. But I still don’t feel well, I just feel off. It’s not like a cold or anything. It feels like I’m just sick and weak or something. Ever since this started and i began feeling ill, i tried cracking my back again recently to see if it would fix it, i thought maybe THIS time would. But it didnt, but i still have soreness in my back and i dont know if its permanent or if its a misalignment. I also have pressure in my throat since doing these movements, ive had similar thing happen before but it happens more now and it wasnt happening before when doing the movements. I still do some of them to check my mobility and my OCD drives me to click and tilt my neck to the side and back to get that click, but i NEVER know if ive made things worse with the last movement. In my current state with EVERY movement ive done, can i just stop now? Or does it need to be done again to relieve my symptoms

Essentially what I believe is that the movements have caused either an upper cervical misalignment, resulting in my sick symptoms and headaches, throat pressure, weak feeling, whooshing in ears, etc. Or its a cervical instability in my spine from repetitive movements that is compressing my brainstem and causing these symptoms, as i have been worried about that exact thing before but then after taking a break from back cracking i did it again and now i feel ill. Do i just stop now and will i be fine? Even though ive continued doing movements after the fact? I havent cracked my back since the last time i did it yesterday but i still have the symptoms, if you dont think or know i dont have these issues im worried about, please explain why you dont think so i can understand. My headaches are not severe, no neck pain unless i move it in a weird way, and no vision issues except for when i stand i lose some vision for a few seconds, which i worry is related as well. I have weird heart palpitations as well. I know it’s TikTok but I saw TikTok’s about cervical misalignments and what they can cause and I think it’s me, or instability. My heart beat is super weird and I notice it more and I don’t know if it’s my anxiety and hyper vigilance focusing on it more or if it’s actually palpitations. No seizures no dizziness unless like I said I stand up. Could this be medication related? Respiridol starting or switch to escitalopram? Symptoms: Headache that worsens with cough Weak feeling in stomach Tightness in throat Heart palpitations Shortness of breath Consistent clicking/crunching in neck Acid reflux symptoms

Hi , I'm 32M, Asian. I feel something in my right butt when sitting (it's more on the outer side near the hip) that is a bit weird. It's like I'm sitting on a hard muscle but I can't say its that painful. The sensation is not noticeable when I'm walking or standing, it's only noticeable when you sit on it or massage it. When I'm trying to massage it, the area is a crunchy and its like a hard surface of muscles. I noticed also that there's some kind of ligament when I massage it horizontally that popping when I massage it, but when massaging it vertically, its not popping. I always compare it to my left butt cheek, and my right butt cheek is always more swollen. I've been dealing with this sensation for 2 months. sometimes It radiates to my ankle and legs with minimal pin needles. What do you think is on my right butt?

I'm not here to defend them or anything. I actually don't have much experience with them at all.

But a couple months ago my neck was caused issues so I saw a chiropractor and after a couple visits I feel fine now. Problem is though I have gone through many injuries through my life that I ignored specifically cause money.

I saw people recommend physical therapy but I don't really see the difference? I'm not very educated on this stuff so any help would be appreciated so I know it I should continue or not.

I didn't understand before why I couldn't sleep on my back even with a pillow under my knees. I've been sleeping on my side with my hips bent all my life. That night I tried to sleep with my legs straight on my side. And it was a bad night because I woke up many times wanting to bend my legs.

I have an anterior pelvic tilt. And it seems to me that bent legs during sleep and 8-10 hours do not contribute to solving my problem, so I am looking for alternative solutions to the problem.

I’ve been having very bad tension here for the last few months especially all around my ears, right next to them. Please, any suggestions

I’ve been having extremely bad neck pain and mild lower back pain. I bought this 2 days ago and it’s really been relieving tension in back and neck. It’s especially useful before stretching. This isn’t a referral link, I just thought I could help some of you out.

I would definitely recommend this

I've watched my face get uglier and uglier for the past year and couldn't figure out the difference for a long time. Then, I noticed how bad my posture had gotten. I had untreated scoliosis and was working on my computer remotely, so I developed a bit of forward neck posture and rounded shoulders. My facial asymmetry has become more prominent than ever (notably, it's droopy and lacks volume on the same side that I have a badly protruding scapula and forward shoulder) and my jawline has disappeared. The bottom third of my face weighs heavy and I almost have pre-jowling at 24 years old, which I've linked to my recessed chin (something I hadn't noticed until a few months ago). I've been in PT for 2.5 months now and I can say it's made a difference, but repairing the damage is going to take at least a year of consistent and dedicated work.

My confidence hit a low point this year and I've stopped dating, going out as often, and taking picture of myself. I used to be so confident in my looks!!

I just found these photos, one from 2 years ago, and one from this weekend, showing the difference in my chin and how much it has recessed in the past couple of years. Please take this as a warning and address your posture issues as soon as possible. It's not just about your body, it's about your face too.

I desperately want chin filler, but I'm a bit terrified of it, and hoping I can fix it naturally instead.

I’m in orofascial Myofunctional therapy for mouth/tongue posture because my tongue tie has caused all sorts of issues. My head is forward like a lot of people’s and I’m trying to fix it so my neck and head are aligned. I have crazy bad tension and achiness in my traps because they are carrying the weight of my forward head and neck (I think?). Should I focus on strengthening my traps or another part of the body/back?

If there is a physical therapist that can explain what is going on. I would love that.

I WFH 2 days a week and have a tight back and mild APT. 38M, busy dad, office job. Been working on fat loss but have noticed more aches and pains ai think from sitting all day:

I will start this daily routine. Thoughts greatly appreciated. I want to start with something achievable and build up to more exercises / reps over time. (Getting a home gym in a few months when I have cashed saved, squats and deadlifts will start then).

I have a very good jawline rn lol but I have a forward head I'm fixing it but I noticed when I pull my head back it creates a double chin. Ik that it's temporary but does fixing posture really make your jawline more defined?

My Step-grandma is 87 and complains of back pain when standing (or sitting) when doing tasks such as cutting vegtables. She's admitted to hunching/slouching but she doesn't think about it till it's too late and her back hurts for the rest of the night. She's going to PT trying to fix some of her pain but she lives alone and I wanted to find a back correctors that she could adjust and put on herself as a gift for Christmas 🎄🎁

Is there a good, comfortable, easy to put on posture corrector I should get for her?

What about this one? https://offer.kizuspinenecksupport.com/offer/1/index-v2-dtcv2.php?C1=376&uid=9494&oid=376&affid=1244&sub2=dih0frdhbt5n8tv5jm8ik9ea&AFFID=1244&utm_campaign=CPA_1244&utm_source=1244&package=1

My spine and tailbone dig against my skin and it makes it impossible to lie or sit against hard surfaces. Is this possible to fix?
