why does my lower back hurt after walking the dog
Quote from sunlily on June 8, 2019, 1:28 pmIt is 8pm. I just got home from Whole Foods. The trip took forty mins because the parking lot was full. My dog is a golden retriever mix. He pulls. Every time. I tried to hold his leash with one hand while balancing the reusable bags in the other. Now my lower back is throbbing. It feels like someone left a brick there. I spent twenty mins on the yoga mat earlier but clearly that did nothing. My kid is screaming for bedtime stories which I have no energy for. I drank water. I ate spinach. I am still in pain. Is it the shoes or is it just age? Please help me figure this out because I need to walk him again tomorrow morning before work. Do you use a front clip harness?

Quote from Islehike on February 21, 2019, 5:06 pmhon i set clear boundaries day one. told her house rules include no rituals in living spaces. she can do it in her own place or outside. simple as that. been married 12 years, never had issues since. if you dont speak up they just keep doing it. be direct but polite. my dad in law handles the stuff now. works for us.

Quote from Pawaccord on September 13, 2020, 9:41 amyeah its totally normal. i lift heavy twice a week out here and my quads are trash for two days straight. cant even climb the stairs to get up without groaning. just keep moving a little bit. drinking water helps too. if it burns too bad try some heat. don't expect to walk normal tomorrow though. just tough it out.

Quote from budrate on April 19, 2020, 2:59 pmSame. I just walk fast around my neighborhood after clase. No gym, no counting macros, no expensive supplements. Just me and my thoughts. Sometimes I lift heavy boxes at work and thats enough resistance for me. I drink water and try to sleep 7 hours. If I feel like moving, I dance to bad bops in my room. Its not pretty but it keeps me sane. Why overcomplicate it when simply staying alive already takes so much effort?

Quote from SweetLily on March 23, 2020, 4:19 amsame here. standing 8 hrs for work made my arches scream. i just swap to orthopedic inserts, not the cheap ones from mall. works way better. also try evening foot soak with epsom salt, helps reduce swelling after long shift. dont push through pain or it turns into plantar fasciitis. trust me, learned the hard way last year.

Quote from needlelevee on November 6, 2020, 5:02 amHonestly I just stopped apologizing. My husband thinks I’m mad sometimes but I’m not. Just tired. Or bored. It’s okay. We cuddle instead. Or watch TV. I don’t force it. If I want to, it happens. If not, we sleep. My body isn’t a public service. Try that. It works for us. At least the guilt is gone for me.

Quote from Amanda1981 on November 14, 2020, 12:07 amugh yes. i got divorced last year and started running to process stuff. after my first 5k i literally sat on the curb gasping like i was having a heart attack. thought i was gonna drop dead. took me weeks to build up stamina im not gonna lie. just drink water and give it time.

Quote from Lisa1967 on November 19, 2020, 3:14 amhoney don’t even panic. Honestly, just call your local gym equipment repair shop. we use frank’s down on highway 9 and he’s honest as the day is long. if that thing is under warranty call the manufacturer first though. otherwise frank will probably come out tomorrow. bless his heart he charges fair rates. hope y’all get it fixed quick.

Quote from Sam1968 on December 25, 2021, 3:44 amyeah it is definitely just you lol. my body goes crazy after heavy lifts. i usually have a handful of sunflower seeds and a banana right when i finish. keeps me from feeling like i might pass out but doesnt make me too full. sometimes if its really bad i sip on bone broth while i cool down. helps with the cravings without wrecking my appetite for dinner later.
