Some worse than others.
Thought I was having a heart pains a few years back. Into the Blackrock clinic for the day.,.âŹ500 later found out I had a pulled muscle by sticking my arms out and falling towards the wallâŚLeast I got a fiddle around the prostrate and learned recreational drugs was no concern to themâŚ

You sound ideal for a few medical professional to rob blind for a while.
No doubt surgery will be suggested at some point.
I donât even have a Dr Kev. MOT was a years ago, certainly wonât be getting knifed unless totally necessary.
I just think an MOT isnât a bad thing. Two lads I worked with 50 somethings, found out theyâd cancer, one liver, one prostrate from yearly check ups. Both fine now, made me think.
I didnt realise 50-65 was the dodgy years for blokes. Maybe 65 onwards but Jaysus 50!! âŚscaryâŚ
Well ya if you get thru that you are generally healthy. But stresses generally reduce too. I those ages people are often worried about wealth, kids issues more a factor, your own mortality etc. Stress is the real killer, in fact any inflammation.
Learning how to counteract inflammation of the brain, gut and muscle tissues really is the key to health. Avoid inflammation as best as ypu can obviously. But then have strategies to counter act any inflammation
Massive correlation between strength and many life long factors.
Mortality
Disease avoidance
Sex life.
Everything enhanced by strength

Walk backwards for a few minutes a few of times a day, walk sideways with large steps, do in the pool for better results,
I had the same issue recently @anon98850436, I was bent over and it was agony getting in and out of bed or the car, gave 240 Euro in total to a physio who had me in traction and on electric impulses, felt it was a waste of time,
Rest and a few basic exercises, look for a back pain yoga class or research a few appropriate yoga balances
But seriously, find a long stretch somewhere quiet and try the backwards and sideways walking
That fixed your back?
It would have gotten better anyway but of all the things that were done to me or that were suggested for me to do I felt it was the most beneficial in straightening me up,
Just a suggestion

Stretching is mist often a disaster and solves nothing. Short term release.
If you donât decompress and then strength you are at nothing. Hanging and letting your vertebrae move back to the heir more natural position is a start.
Contralateral exercises like Deadbug and bird dogs help alot. But general Trunk stability is key.
Yoga can be and disaster too. Can be good but has to be a really good instructor who understands back health and strength.

No sitting and being lazy cunts is the curse
Nobody will bat an eyelid so
My yoga guy teaches the teachers, an Indian chap, fuck all personality but Iâd say he knows his shit inside out, I really need to go back actually, itâs been a few weeks
Partially true, but itâs badly designed. Muscles are too small for itâs purpose.
