my conditions

[esotericcc]

hi everyone

i just had a quick question about conditions and club cards

i have lower back pain that exsists 24/7, and at somepoint of the day (every day) it gets to the point where its unbearable (usually after/during i do some exsercise).

another thing is at random times of the day my whole entire right leg gets incredibly painful and i cant walk for the time being (usually around 10-30 seconds)

these are not "excuses", these are real conditions i live with every day
and i was just wondering if most doctors will cut it for a club card, or if it just doesnt cut it

askin for opinions from ppl with and w/o cards...

thank you for reading

and by the way if what you say is true you have a real bad problem and your a fool for not going to the doc

Reads like a herniated disk somewhere in the ballpark between L5 and S1 that is putting pressure against your sciatic nerve that leads to your leg. (one each for each leg)

Rest your lower back as much as possible. Do not target train the area till you've gone 2 weeks without the discomfort. Even then, begin very light...so light it almost seems stupid.

Do not sleep on your belly, this puts enough strain on an injured lower back to prolong the discomfort. Best to try sleeping on your back with a pillow under your knees.

Take an anti-inflammatory med before bedtime, and another when you wake. FYI...you still have to remain conscious of there being an injury, just because an anti-inflammatory relieves the pressure is not an indication of having healed, its just a means to help the process of healing begin.

Hot compress to encourage blood flow to the area which helps with healing. Followed by cold compress to help reduce swelling. (or is it vice versa?)

Learn and practice good lower back stretching. (google it)

Get your abs strengthened to help alleviate stress on your lower back.

If you've a long-term, semi to permanent injury...exercise will be key in keeping it at bay. Walking is great...swimming is even better...running is a no-go.

And lastly...believe it or not...being seated puts gobs of tension on the lower back...get off of that chair you're on and get a lumbar support cushion for your driving and PCing.

As far as a weed prescription someone else can help you on that.

As far as the body what I do know is stay fully hydrated with 8 glasses of water per day is the best thing you can do for the joints/discs as there is a micro layer of cushion fluid between these discs.

Cut out ALL hydronated oils/transfats out of the diet as this turns on the inflammation gene of the body, body wide, especially in joints/disks.

Enzymes will effectively reduce inflammation and pain.
Your enzyme production falls off dramatically after age 27.

Supplement with enzymes in your diet this will break down inflammatory material that ends up in the joints/disks.

They are completely safe even in high doses. These are very important. Look into papain and bromelain enzymes. Papain from papaya and bromelain from the pineapple stem. Or protese enzymes. There are many types depending on what you eat.

NSAIDS are a mistake as they only mask the pain and ruin your liver/kidneys in the process. Aspirin is also bad.

More omega 3 oils. Olive oil, fish oil, flax, borage, cocconut and rice bran oil.

This will restore the proper oil balance in the body and TURN OFF the inflammation gene.

The omega 6/3 ratio should be 1:4. Dont supplement with 6 as it is in just about everything you consume including vegs and fruits.
3 is the one you need the most. Too many Americans have a heart stopping 23:1 due to the trash in the diet and the bad type of oils used in the home and added into the processed food.


Good luck.
