Dear diva3334,\nYou've certainly brought your medical concerns to the right place! The Y!A community members are fully aware of and do appreciate the intimate conditions involving your prognosis.\nMost recognized doctors in the field of medicine would employ a holistic approach to your ailment. diva3334, please begin your day with a well balanced breakfast to include an ample portion of fruits and grains. After your morning routines are finished, enjoy a brisk walk around the block. If you happen to meet any stray dogs along the way, it would be a good idea to antagonize the creatures in order to add some vigor to your workout.\nNow diva3334, the remaining portions of your day should be filled with interesting activities and new studies to keep your mind active and in balance, complimentary to what you have done with the physical side of yourself.\nAfter loitering around at the public library all afternoon with a bunch of smelly hobos, you can appreciate a warm bath and time to be good to yourself. Begin to collect an archive of various music genres that you can resolve one day to enjoy after you get the rest of your chores done.\ndiva3334, if after following my advice, simply take two aspirin and forget we ever had this little discussion.\nThank you, diva3334. Have a great day!\n-Justin

Try applying a heating pad to the area.\nIf that doesn't help, then you have no other alternative,than to see a doctor of osteopathy.(D.O.)     They specialize in bones.\nIt is possible you may have a slipped disc. The weight of pregnancy or during labor could have caused this.\n\nI know you hate seeing doctor's, so try the heating pad and see if that helps.\n\nYou MAY be doing excersizes that are not lower back friendly.  That would certainly aggrivate it.  I hope you have a lisenced trainer that's working with you.  If you DO have one, well, it's not working.\n\nThere are certain excersizes just for back pain.  Usually it's lower back pain, due to weak lower back muscles.\nIs that in fact what you're working on, in the gym?\n\nIf you absolutly refuse to see a doctor, consider an icy/hot patch and some tylenol 500mg.  \n\nI doubt that it's due to weak lower back muscles, since you carried a baby's weight around with you for months.  It could also be sciatica.  The sciatic nerve could have been aggrivated at ANY time.\n\nI hope this helps and that you feel better soon.

leglifts.  lie down on the floor and put your hands under your butt or tailbone so it won't hurt.  lift your legs about six inches off the floor and hold as long as you can!!  it's really hard.

Use a medical traction device such as the Andro Penis - it is a medical traction device that uses traction to permanently expand the blood-carrying chambers (the largest being the corpus cavernosa) of the penis.\n\nUse the Andro Penis device 4-9 hours per day for 3-6 months. You will have time-linear flaccid and erect gains in length and some girth gains as well. The flaccid gains appear first. If you want additional girth gains than what you get with the Andro, you should use a PowerJelq device for 10-15 minutes a day to supplement it.\n\nI've gained permanently 1.75" length and 1" girth since June 2005 through the use of the Andro Penis and (very occassionally) PowerJelq for exercises. I'm very pleased with these results. Try it, and you will be happy to see serious gains after 3-6 months usage.\n\nCommon issues with the product are 1) how to make wearing the product more comfortable 2) how to effectively secure the product 3) when and how long you can use the product. Generally the answers to these 3 issues are: 1) use the padding band over your glans before putting it in the silicone band 2) use some padding or other material to prevent slippage of the glans out of the band 3) have a rest period every 2 hours at least, and massage yourself during that time to ensure good blood flow. Don't use the device while sleeping (you won't have the required massage break every 2 hrs). The manual that comes with the Andro has adequate information on what to do and what not to do.\n\nSide note about purchasing this item: you can usually buy this item on Ebay for about 1/2 the cost of other websites. Make sure to shop for the best price. I paid $150. My package included pills, but I never used the pills and I've still gained 1.75" length, 1" girth in 7 months.\n\nSee the link for a study on men using the device. It indicates an average growth per month of around .47 cm in length. Also, after six months, a "median minimum gain" of 2.8 cm.\n\nAlso, I believe it is helpful to perform PC (kegel) exercises to strengthen the PC muscle. You will be enlarging yourself quite significantly and you want to maintain very strong erection strength and stamina which are controlled by the pubococcyl muscle.\n\nIf you need more information let me know.

Here's my routine:\n\n1) Toe touches with one leg crossed in front of the other (make sure knees aren't bent).  Hold for 20 seconds, and repeat 3 times.  Do this for the right leg and then the left leg forward.\n\n2) Leg stretches.  Facing forward, standing, spread your legs apart about 3-4 feet.  Bend down and stretch to your left foot, right foot, then center ground, as far as you can (but don't strain yourself), holding each time for 20 seconds.  Repeat 3 times.\n\n3) Trunk rotations.  Standing straight, with legs slightly separated, begin rotating your body, just at the waist, in a circular motion.  Complete 15 rotations in a clockwise motion followed by 15 rotations in a counter clockwise motion.\n\n4) Shoulder rotations.  Spread arms straight out, and rotate them in a forward circular motion, first as large of a circle as possible, followed by a smaller circle, and finally a very small circle.  Do for 15 seconds each circle size, and then repeat, doing it in a reverse motion.\n\n5) Neck rolls.  Standing the same way as previously, tilt your head to the side, and then rotate it in a clockwise circular motion, for 5 rotations.  Repeat in a counter clockwise motion.\n\n6) Hamstring stretch.  Sitting on the ground, pull both of your feet as close to your buttock as possible.  Then, try to get your knees as close to the ground as possible.  Hold for 20 seconds, and do for 3 repeats.\n\n7) Hurler's Stretch.  Lay on the ground, with one foot straight forward, and the other bent away from you (shaped like a V).  Lean forward and try to touch your toes, holding for a count of 20.  Repeat 3 times.  Then lean back, and try to get your bent leg to touch the ground, holding it for a count of 20, and repeating for 3 times.  Switch the leg you have forward and repeat.\n\n8) Calve stretch.  Lean against a wall with your feet out about 4-5 feet.  Keep 1 foot with the heel completely on the ground, and lean forward for 20 seconds.  Switch legs and repeat.  Do both legs for 3 repeats, and then do another 3 repeats while keeping both heels on the ground.\n\n9) Quad stretch.  While standing straight, grab one foot, and pull it back towards your buttock until you feel the muscles in your front thigh stretching.  Hold for 20 seconds for each leg, and repeat twice.\n\nWow!  That takes a lot longer to put into words than just doing it!  Remember to take it slowly when you're starting out, and to just enjoy your runs.  Doing some stretches after wards is also a good idea.  I hope the above helps, and I wish you success in your running endeavors.

The answer to your question is in your name ... you need therapy.  Ask the doctor who diagonsed you to send you for some physical therapy.  Your therapist should be able to help you with both issues.\n\nTo lose weight you need a good source of cardio exercise that you can perform painfree, most likely walking or jogging, since that keeps the spine in extension, rather than flexion, which can aggrevate a disc.  Definitely avoid sitting exercise like biking.  Water aerobics and walking in a pool are also good forms of exercise for you.  \n\nFinally check out the link for some good exercises to improve your trunk stability to help you stabilize your spine and support your back.  Good luck!

Getting started, have to overcome static friction.  Therefore, force applied = static friction force just before movement\n\nF = umg\nF = 75N\nm = 20kg\ng = gravity\nfind u, plug and play\n\nsame problem for sliding friction

I have that same habit lol! Just focus on keeping it lower down, really concentrate on it. After a fwe practices, you should be able to do it. Be careful you don't lean back too much because you will go on your heel and either stumble or fall, in experience that really hurts.

First, see a doctor for xrays to rule out pinched nerve, cracked or broken bone(s) that may not have healed properly. Also rule out tendon or muscle pulls you may be continuing to aggravate due to your natural movements, work, sports, etc. Once you have ruled out those causes:\nFor some people, sleeping on a hard surface, like the floor, for 7-10 days can greatly reduce or eliminate the pain, since you are not putting extra tension on the back while sleeping/tossing/turning.  Do this after a very warm 20 minute bath which will relax your muscles and help you sleep.\nSit-ups, as many as you are comfortable with, daily will strenghthen abdominal muscles which will take strain away from back muscles for natural support. Massage therapy from a RMT can work wonders as well. Consult your physician about chiropractic, with a full understanding of the possible risks and benefits. Avoid Rx unless it is your last resort,  consulting with a pharmacist for precise advice. Products such as "Icy Hot" patches are very effective for temporary 8-12 hour relief. Carefully examine your posture while sitting and standing, expecially at the computer. Use a very good chair with proper lumbar support and maintain a straight back, not slouching. If you frequently have to drive for long periods and your vehicle is not properly equipped, buy a good quality lumbar/leg support seat pad, perhaps with the heating and/or vibration options at any dept store.\nIn Canada, you can actually get a Rx from your doctor to purchase a hot tub/jacuzzi, making the purchase deductible from your income tax. Check with your tax dept. A hot tub is excellent therapy if you have no cardiovascular conditions, such as hyper or hypotension and mostly fun anyway!

There is a solution against slipped discs: Go for a manual one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. The effect on the self-healing power of your body are really amazing. Due to the better pressure distribution in your spine, the discs can regenerate completely. It's simply amazing!\n\nJust - the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. It's really worth travelling far.

you can get an ergonomic assessment. or check to see that there is no strain on your back, hands. plant your feet flat on the ground and sit upright. Place your monitor such that your eyes look straight into it.\n\nFor more info: http://www.spine-health.com/topics/cd/ergo/ergo03.html

You need to see your doctor and possibly get an MRI of the Lumbar spine.

Sitting with a stright spine is all that is required.\nIf you can cross your legs and sit on the floor, then fine. Maybe you will find it better to lean against a wall.\nOtherwise use a straight-backed chair..\nAs long as you spine is straight, that's all that is necessary.

Massage and yoga. Both are extremely effective. I have friends that have tried and they had scoliosis before. It is perfect now. Perfect back. I STRONGLY recommend it

I used to have lower back pain from a fall I took years ago and this is what my Chiropractor told me to do.\n\nStand up with you back and butt flat against the wall, then pull one leg by the knee ( bent ) as far up as you can get it, then pull it out to the side and hold it there for the count of 10. Try doing about 5 reps an each leg. Do more each day. You can do this as many times as you can during the day. It relieved my pain. I did it every time it started to hurt throughout the day. \n\nYou should also go to a chiropractor for regular adjustments that will help out alot too.
