Backpain making my life hell
Hi everyone as the title suggests i hv really started facing problem in daily activites due to this. I was once a very active guy who liked walking a lot but know even standing from chair is giving pain . Just after the covid this all things hv started happening. But the problem is i am only 1 years in my tech career and recent grad of 2022. I am really worrying about my long term prospects. I know i should be asking this to doc and ys i hv asked them i just want to know from community if u guys hv problem how are u dealing with this. I hv recently joined gym also but that isnt solving my back problem . Doctor said to avoid prolong sitting but unable to do much in it.
Make sure you exercise daily without fail. Hitting the gym will help a lot. Do not sit in one posture for a long time. Take a small break after an hour or so.
But most importantly consult a doctor first. They can only tell the exact reason and remedy.

Absolutely DO NOT exercise at this point before consulting a doctor.
One of my friends ignored the pain and kept gymming, he got some spine issue due to that and now his back pain problem has increased tremendously.
Have a physiotherapy consultation in blr.
Physiotheraphy docs will examine, get to root cause of problem( bad posture leading to a lot of muscles being unhealthy, which one needs to be rehab-ed first and how needs to come from physio )
And then they will suggest eight exercises to hit muscles that will give you relief in 10-15 days.
The sooner to take a consultation better for your future.
Hoping for quick and strong recovery.
I've faced similar back pain too. First, get your scans done and see if there is a spine issue like disc slips or anything. Also check for Sciatica due to Spine. If Spine is not causing issue, start strength exercises for back and core. Many times, due to excessive sitting, your core and back muscles become weak and can't support your posture anymore. This leads to overworking muscles then inflammation then back pain. DON'T LIFT WEIGHTS OR DO CARDIO because these demand strength from core and back.
There are many exercises that specifically target core muscles, the hip muscles (glutes) and lower back. Start doing them alternate days. Take protien when you exercise. It will take 3 months atleast to get some strength. Also twice a week stretch your lower back, hip muscles too. There are many good yogasanas for them. Google them all.

Yes i am planning to go to doc tomm . I am also worried if my back is issue then stopping the gym is better but going to gym is actually making me more active keeping my digestion good
Medical science has its limitations.Learn hatha yoga from Isha and start doing Surya Kriya particularly.Back pain will be gone in few weeks.There are lots of benefits doing hatha yoga back pain is just one of them.

Also tried using wedge pillow and other stuff that works till u use it. But after that pain again starts
Try Cranio Sacral Therapy CST, a non invasive pain treatment.
Worked wonders for me when doctors couldn't do much n gave up

Don't do weight training.
Do core exercises, light weight. Consistency is more important at this point.
I used to have little back pain, I did some dead bugs and bird dogs 3 sets each everyday. It helped a lot. Also, don't sit for long. Every 20 25 min wake up and move around. Get a good chair.

Consult ortho and then a physiotherapist. This seems to have helped a lot of people. Have an alarm and force yourself to stand up from your desk every 25 minutes for 2 minutes. Do walking meetings if the meetings are 1:1. Do 1-2 standing meetings a day if you can.

Thanks tried this even got standing table but didnt worked out
Hit the gym. Start lifting weights, do cardio. Have a good diet plan eat healthy protein rich food.
Rest everything will happen on it's own.
My friend was facing similar problems, he had a slip disc in lower back, so he had to get the surgery done as the disc bulge was too much and that was causing the pain. After surgery now he is fine and has no pain.

Excercise or gym will only address the symptom. Consult a specialist and get a full body checkup and address the root cause. If the doctor is unable to provide you one it is upto you to educate about your condition and find out. There are multiple conflicting online resources out there. At your age, you should be able to reverse any condition
Please keep posting regular updates here, mate. It will help a lot of similar cases.
