Does anyone have some mild pain on the back of their head? How did you treat it?

Hey everyone,

Quick background about me, I sit almost 14 hours plus working in an office, yes sometimes I take breaks and walk and do some stretches.

I have normal blood pressure and no fever and non smoker , don't have any issues with my body except some pain on the left lower side of my colon when I eat something oily or fatty or very sweet.

One day I get this mild pain on the back of my head, i couldn't focus on the screen or at anything and I feel like I want to rip it open somehow, is that common? And what do you do when it happens?

How to keep a good posture when driving?

I try to keep a good posture when walking and sitting however driving is one thing that always feels like it ruins it and it makes my shoulders come forward and feel closed. How do you keep a good posture when driving a car?

Loss of balance (loss of cervical lordosis)

Hello, I have a loss of cervical lordosis problem. It was detected during an MRI 6 years ago, and there were also 4 mild hernias. At that time, my neck muscles were shortened and I could not turn it fully to the left and had some physcal thrrapy and chyro.

Now, sometimes i feel unbalanced while walking. I can describe it like this; I'm walking in a straight line, but I feel like I'm going to fall right or go to the right. Also sometimes while sitting i feel like the same like moving right. And sometimes at bed like i am moving ( not typical vertigo no eye movements)

Have any of you had an experience like this?

Tenseness in mid-lower back when sitting + sleeping pain.

I recently had some hip issues related to a shitty mattress. I have a new one that is a lot better and has helped immensely with the hip issues. They are gone, actually.

However, I am still having some residual back pain that is still bothering me.

I have noticed that my mid-lower back randomly becomes super tense throughout the day when I sit or stand, even when I have good posture (I have naturally good standing posture so this is more in relation to sitting). I notice this pain mostly in the right side of my back and sometimes notice an odd pain in the front of my left hip when I wake up that goes away within a few minutes of getting up.

Any advice? Just want to be done with this so I can get back to working out and running and playing sports again. Thanks for the help.

Neck and Trap pain

A few months ago I started train pull ups and I was doing upwards of 50+ a day when I would pass the pull up at my local park.

One day I was reaching my chin up to try and get it over the bar when I felt a snap or pop on the right side of my neck. For the next 2 days I was unable to move my head to the right at all and it was stuck lob-sided towards the left. Any sudden movements would result in a horrific pain throughout my whole body.

Now a few months on the pain has reduced and I have gained some movement towards the right side but I still have pain present and I am unable to move my head diagonally backwards to the right.

I have seen on similar neck strain posts that this may have resulted from shrugging my shoulders upwards to try and force my chin up above the bar.

Does anyone know what I may have injured and how I can fix the problem?

Rounder back took 6 months for me to realize that it's caused by GERD

It took me 6 months to realize what was the main cause of my problem I've tried everything and I mean it, hip rotation, pelvic, psoas, hamstring, ankle, etc. These days my bone and joint cracks every 5 seconds as if my body is fake, my shoulder drop to one side and I can't inhale or Swallow without pulling my jaw back into a weird TMJ position. It's obviously a systematic issue but the root cause of this is 2 things:

  • I had GERD and I forgot how to breath
  • I have an extremely rounded back that doesn't show up on photos, because I have over compensate my entire body in order to look like I have good posture.

I'm still working on this and tbh, I feel like I'm gonna die young if this continues. Everytime I get closer to the root cause and closer to fixing my problems, my symptoms get worse. I literally cannot raise my knee without a few cracks somewhere and I'm paranoid about meniscus tear and athritis.

Writing this to let you know for some out there who's alone and trying to work through this, it might take a very very long, challenging time. It's gonna be worth it, Imma get my alignment back some day.

Cervical ache and disc compression

I (33M), weight train (moderate to heavy) for the past 15+ years. I was suffering from AC joint pain. I showed it to a physio and he had me do an X-ray and it showed a cervical disc compression. There was no neck pain by that time but the neck was incredibly stiff. After the release, it did hurt a lot with headaches for a couple of weeks. I stuck to the exercises given by him and followed them religiously. My pain has reduced now (it's been 2 months) but it's not going away properly. I don't get headaches anymore but neck starts aching late-afternoon/early-evening. Ache areas are mostly on the right, starting base of the skull to the top of the shoulder blade. Anything I am missing here? Does the X-ray look really bad? P.S. My physio adviced against the MRI since that would not really change the course of our treatment.

Neck pain + tinnitus worst at evening

While I am still trying to find the root cause(TMJ, ON, Migraines etc), I notice that my neck pain and tinnitus gets worst at evenings and I wake up with almost no pain and no tinnitus. It again progressively gets worse by evening pretty much every day.

I googled it a lot but all results come about pain being worst at morning due to bad sleep posture or pillow. However I have the exact opposite of that.

Does anyone else experience this and has anyone got any ideas why this could be?

How Much Height Can I Gain with Severe APT and Long Arm Span?

Hi, everyone! I’m 5 feet 6 inches tall and struggling with severe anterior pelvic tilt (APT), along with some nerd neck. I’m also unsure about the extent of any kyphosis I might have. Interestingly, my arm span measures 6 feet, which has me wondering about my height potential. I do not have Marfan syndrome, just to clarify.

Given my posture issues, how much height do you think I might realistically gain if I work on correcting my APT and overall posture? Have any of you experienced similar situations? Thanks for your help!

What is the fundamental cause of Bad neck posture?

I have a terrible forward posture ( I used to be a hardcore gamergod ) and that probably the reason I have terrible neck posture.

I have quit gaming for 2 years and had a physical job and I thought that would fix it, I still have it unfortunately.

Maybe I need to work on something else? Like are my back muscles to weak or something? Is my spine permanently leaning forward? Is my head too heavy? 🥲

Neck aches and lower back pain.

Teenager and literally not flexible at all. I can touch my toes but its uncomfortable and I do school from home so constantly sitting and my posture is ok. My neck is a little hunched over and so are my shoulders. I also have a lot of neck aches and lower back pain if I bend down for too long. What can I do fo improve all of this? Especially the neck pain and lower back pain.

Sleeping = Hell

Hey guys

I really struggle with my posture (rounded shoulders, forward neck, pelvic tilt). I think I got into this posture when I got back to semi functioning after being bedbound for a long time. I didn't really work on building muscle, I just started walking/sitting and didn't realize I was using all the wrong muscles (mostly my neck). I also was holding myself up with tension, not strength. I also carry a lot of trauma in my body, but I'm working on that.

When I lay down it's the worst, and I could use some tips.

It's like my neck keeps moving forward. My neck can't rest down on the pillow. I also have pelvic tilt. When I breathe out my whole spine 'caves in'. I have been manually breathing (breathing with my brain basically) for 1,5 years now because of my poorly aligned posture.

Anyway, gonna give a posture exercise routine another go. But I just wish I knew how to fall asleep. I often don't sleep, not even for one hour, because it's so unbearable and my whole fascia gets tense. Hope there's someone out here with the golden tip ❤️

How can i fix my back asymmetry? I've had it since i started training and only now i'm noticing how of a huge difference there is. I have the same in my quads, with the right one being smaller than the right. Also my right bicep is longer than the left, resulting in a much flatter look
