How to overcome back pain and muscular symptoms. First all this is normal for anyone suffering with fibro, me/CFS or any other illness for that matter. Two main reasons why this occur. Firstly your body has become much more deconditioned than it used to be. Laying or sitting for long periods of time (Illness does that to you) weakens the back, decreases neck and your back mobility as it is in flexion more then extension most of the time, this over time puts pressure on the back and can cause more harm then good. Usually when your back goes it is because it is weakened and then you do a rare movement that you havent done in days, weeks, months without even realizing it. Yes you can use treatments initially to help pain and decrease symptoms. Lots of stuff to try or stick to. Chiro, osteopath, heat packs, cold baths, pain killers Etc to decrease initial pain or problem. Do what works for you. However the most important thing you can do over time are two things. Muscle recovery and symptom techniques, such as self massage, light static stretching, foam rolling and correcting posture. Regain strength and stamina, without overloading your body into a setback or flare up. Condition the body and the back. (Posture). Most (almost) all patients have terrible posture, its normal when you are exhausted you slouch forward and become tight and sore. When my patients come in, we work a lot on there thoracic spine and mobility to increase functionality, which can also decrease headaches, dizziness and make you feel stronger again. Now Im not saying this is easy. Most people stay with back pain for years because it is hard to even start especially whilst suffering from illness! YOU MUST focus on your health. Not just your back pain. Relieve it, focus on quality sleep, quality nutrition, mindset and attitude towards you and your life and also smart progression! No use jumping up and down with motivation for 5 minutes and then being bed bound for a week!It takes time but its worth it! Happy day people!
