I'm really concerned about this back pain I've been having around my waist area for about a year now. It hurts whenever I stand or sit in one spot for over an hour and it gets worse if I lift something heavy or bend over to do stuff for like 10 to 20 minutes. The weird thing is, it eases up when I rest or lie down. I haven't had any injuries or medical conditions that I'm aware of, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could this just be a muscle sprain, or is there something else I should be worried about?

It sounds like your back pain could be related to muscle strain or poor posture, especially if it worsens with prolonged sitting or lifting. It might also be due to muscle imbalances or tension. If rest helps, that's a good sign, but I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation to rule out other possible causes.

View allI've been struggling with forward bending for over 3 years due to my slightly forward L4 vertebra causing movement issues. A doctor recently recommended bone fusion surgery, but I'd really prefer exploring non-surgical options first. What alternative treatments could help improve my condition without going under the knife?
Before resorting to spinal fusion, several non-surgical approaches can address forward bending due to spinal instability, including physical therapy, bracing, injections, and potentially other advanced non-fusion stabilization methods. These options can help manage pain, improve mobility, and potentially stabilize the spine without surgery.

I'm 19 and have bow legs which my friends tease me about. I really want to straighten them naturally through exercises instead of surgery are there any options that could help me?
While exercises and stretches can help strengthen muscles and improve alignment, they won't change the shape of your bones, which is the root cause of bow legs. Surgery (osteotomy) is generally the only way to correct the bone alignment in adults. However, strengthening exercises and stretches can help manage symptoms and improve overall leg health
