Back Problems

Back problems?

We Answered:

You need to go see a doctor and have an x-ray taken on your back. There is a condition known as spondylolysis, which is a stress fracture of your vertebrae (bones in your back). If left unchecked this can lead to a condition called spondylolythesis, which is one of your vertebrae slipping forward. This condition occurs most often in adolescent kids around your age. I am not saying that you have this, but it is very important to find out whether or not you do have it. DO NOT go to a chiropractor first because they will be unable to diagnose you properly. You need to see an orthopedic doctor.

What are good ab workouts for someone with back problems?

We Answered:

I've learned that back problems occur from weak abs and a weak core. start slow with crunchies and add extra reps as the weeks go on.

What problems with the human body can be traced back to evolution?

We Answered:

There are many problems in the human body due to evolution.

We have too many teeth, especially our wisdom teeth and poor sinus drainage.

Many nerves and muscles that we no longer have any use for, particularly the plantaris muscle of the foot.

Anyone with scoliosis or sciatica can attest for our poor back design.

An inability to produce vitamin c due to the loss of the GULO gene.

The length of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which connects the brain to the larynx via the aortic arch. (this means in Giraffes it's 20 feet longer than necessary.

An appallingly designed eye.

The development of the testes leads to a weak point in the abdomen wall that can result in hernias.

The appendix, whose main function is to potentially kill us.

Why do we grow a tail in week 4-5 of our embryonic development and then have to lose it at week 8?

Ectopic pregnancies

A horrendous collection of congenital illnesses.

And what kind of sadistic creator would put our sewage system and our entertainment complex in the same place.

Alfredo Said:

Which is better for back problems and for general sleeping-sleep number mattress or memory foam?

We Answered:

It really depends on the individual and their mobility, tolerance to pressure for those problems etc. Both have their pros and cons. Memory foam is great for pressure relief and support and lasts for years, while Airbeds you can make needed adjustments in firmness, which can also change support. It is best we don't sway your opinion because what we like may not necessarily solve your problems and quite frankly a mattress usually can't solve them. Go test rest various models for 10 - 15 minutes on ones you seem to like.
