"In terms of instant relief, cancelling plans is like heroin."
ImguryProne
Cancelling plans to stay home is the best feeling in the world
Ki3r4nn
"When im an adult I can stay up late and decide my own bedtime". Bed time ends up earlier.
redsalmon
This. I'm 55. Me. Wake up. "Ow." "That's new." "Oh well. Time for coffee."
haaseni
Especially the back part.
KingGamble
Sad how close to home this hits
Anlurai
Also spending a ton of your life at a low wage job that you hate.
dougbea
And trying to figure out how you can cancel the plans without hurting feelings, etc.
GrandOppai
The trick is to turn down all the invites early on. You wont be invited to anything soon enough.
LiKeys
Wowsa.. right in the reality.
areyouwithme
I'm so glad I've found other people like me
annpixie
I'm 23, at work, waiting to go home and sleep and my back hurts.
RuralAmerican
I laugh in the face of the youngsters who say to themselves " won't happen to me!" Hahahahaaaa!
stilloldbull
...forgot the part about not moving your neck too quickly.
uhhhnick
If youre an adult by now you should know how to crop better
SnowcappedRomance
Awe..there you are...I was waiting for this! Haha. Right after I posted it, I pondered if I should have attempted to crop it.
thankyoujenny
Kids, strengthen your core muscles now. Spine hygiene is serious as shit when you're older. Tooth decay? Hah. Vertebral decay is far worse.
Botshifter
I'm too exhausted to wish I'd made plans.
itsnotsciencefiction
If I feel this way and I'm 16, should I just give up now?
MonkeyOnATypewriter
This is the worst type of repost, it's just a picture of words..
TacoLobsterParty
And asking everyone if they have some tums
angrymanzerobar
Omnipresol, bro. Used to have to down tums after tums. One of these a day, haven't had a tums in months.
SnowcappedRomance
Ha! Haha....yes....that should definitely be on the list lol
shittykitties
Always upvote @Tacolobsterparty
SasquatchChief
Every day I ask everyone at work, "yo, you got any good NSAIDs?"
giitsok
as someone who actually has a bad back and wants to go out and make plans, this is the first post I don't agree with on imgur.
SnowcappedRomance
I hope your back feels better dear...wanting to go out and not able to is a very different story. <3
giitsok
Hehe I wish my back wasn't bad so I could make plans and cancel them. I bet I'd just be too tired to keep them. I'd find an excuse
SnowcappedRomance
Haha...I think you should! Tell them you are feeling much better....then cancel!!! :)
giitsok
Yesssss there.... Then I'll at least pretend I have a social life. I'm glad we had this chat OP
LongoloidFartExplosion
Since this was last posted I started taking vitamin D and now my back is fine.
wilsonsmith
I took a nap and now my sternum hurts, not like chest pain, just my sternum
GrandOppai
I often need a nap, however when I do take them, I end up waking up with headaches...
spaceystacey
When naps cause injury, you're in for a long ride through adulthood.
wilsonsmith
Best part is I'm 24
hugjob
back started hurting today. no idea how. i was just sitting there at the computer and suddenly i have a back injury
rattlesnail
I pulled a muscle sewing and I managed to pull a muscle in my hand chopping wood....
narwhalsies
Get up and move around a little bit every 20-30 minutes. Light stretches (like touch your toes, bend side to side) will help!
hugjob
did that and it became excruciating. something is definitely pulled. i do not recommend stretching for injuries. now im stuck in bed
narwhalsies
Then I definitely don't recommend stretches! If it's really bad, see a physio/RMT/chiro depending on what's hurting.
whoeversmeltit
How about spending at least 20 minutes a day looking for shit you actually need/use daily? The fuck is up with that shit?
SnowcappedRomance
Hey...if you can remember what it was you went into the other room to look for, you're still doing alright! Lol
whoeversmeltit
Ugh, I run down the stairs and stop. My hubby gives me the "?" look. I can't remember why I came down the stairs...maybe if I stand here..
SnowcappedRomance
Hahaha. Ah yes....the stand still trick. Sometimes it works!! Lol
boopysnoot
Can confirm.
HatsAreEssential
I got really excited to buy towels and tupperware and lightbulbs at costco today. I'm definitely an adult...
HobbitHouse
Led bulbs? I hope you got LED
Preemptivemeasures
That was a bad pun. Kudos!
HatsAreEssential
Can light LED retrofits. 2x as bright as the old florescents, and no waiting for them to heat up and get all the way bright :D
HobbitHouse
That's what I did in my kitchen. Love. But $$
HatsAreEssential
They were $8 each at costco. Well, $16 for a 2 pack...
kmikl
More or less. If you're over 35 and you wake up one morning and nothing hurts, CONGRATULATIONS! You're dead.
UsuallySpecial
Took until 40 for me, but now I've got the back pain and kidneys stones settling in. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
laubeth
Is that actually true because its not giving a lot of hope for the future
mineovermatter
Yep
toouglyforporn
Nope.
121AAD
sore lower backs are often caused by lack of potassium, people really eat horrible diets, it catches up with you
catsandcoke
Wow The MRI showed bulging discs. Ill just eat me a banana instead.
ThePresidentOfStrayaOFFICIAL
Nah. I get plenty of potassium. I only eat chips.
verviticus
its actually a lack of whale juice
m0nkeymagic
Or car accidents.
SnowcappedRomance
Haahaa...I'm almost there...so you're saying this isn't just a phase?!
sittingherewatchingyouwatchingme
The pains that should have been in your youth, will be again.
kmikl
Welcome to the end of the first day of the rest of your life.
LaikaTheSpaceBitch
Y'all need to eat healthier drink more water and go on long walks. Does wonders. But what do I know? I'm here commenting with everybody
saltymcgee
Nah bruh, welcome to life. I get exited when I take a big poop and my back hurts less.
SnowcappedRomance
Oh my goodness....this made me giggle. A lot. Lol
SirDistic
Yeah it's just a phase. It only lasts a short time. Don't listen to them. It lasts from like 35 until you're dead.
AngeIa
Oh ok so 35-deadish
JustAMinnesotaImguy
What do if I feel this way at 22?
Lenthas
Then everything is normal.
45Bananas
Everything will be alright. If you just keep me next to you.
AngeIa
Hahaha you have no idea. And I only 30. As my mom tells me on my birthday every year: it only goes downhill from here. :D
oodaloop
SITFU
pandabitch
I'm in the same boat. 22 and working so much I go home with something aching almost everyday. Rum is a big help
PowerDiversion
I'm 20 and I feel like this :/
vogelstroika
Work out, lift weights. Makes body stronger (not just lifting things stronger)
fduston
INVEST IN A GOOD MATTRESS. There are few things worth spending top dollar on; a good bed is one of them.
thekcar
Hot soaks and a mixed drink are mandatory the night before your day off. Helps you survive til your mid-thirties...then you get creative.
UnknownTongue
Do you still act like you're in freshman year? Do you wonder what caller ID is?
NightFuryLee
Same here girl plus winter is here and I don't have enough blankets to smother me to death
anon2424
Same here!
jadespider
If you're in collage you may be experiencing an adulthood false-positive. It'll pass after finals. Real adulthood will be along shortly.
pIanetarysociety
if you're 22 then you've already been an adult for 4 years
OPHASNECKBEARD
Thank you.
FelixG
Congratulations! You are ahead of the curve!
LukeDeVari
Maybe a stress response... take care of your social health. That's damn important
UCFjeff
Two skipped disks and I'm 23. I am an old man
Icameheretoupvoteandcomment
How?
UCFjeff
Wakeboarding and trying to lift too heavy
AngeIa
I feel ya. I found out I had spinal stenosis, a crooked spine and 2 herniated disks when I was 25. I'm 30 now but my back is 60. Fuuuuuuck
BoooBerry
As bad as you might think you feel... lol! It gets worse. Your tears sustain me.
IAlwaysUpvoteRickAndMorty
Sigh. 25, all downhill from here.
wannabeblue
Shit where was the uphill.
BoooBerry
I keep thinking I'm about 25, then I realize I'm actually 46 and weep a little inside. Seriously tho, I'm very well adjusted. ;)
adrismyesam
Turns out degenerating disc disease can hit you at 20. Yeah, it's grand.
flatdeer
How are you treating it?
adrismyesam
Chiropractor, lots of stretching, moist heating pad, ice, exercise.
flatdeer
Have you looked into prolotherapy?
adrismyesam
The other thing I've been doing is getting ems. I have the disc thing as well as my left hip bone is twisting. It's the muscles that are
adrismyesam
No..... I'll have to check that out
flatdeer
I'm in California but I have two friends who went here, one for degenerative disks in her cervical spine and another for arthritis in his
adrismyesam
Really painful then I get numbness and tingling down my entire left leg.
flatdeer
Ack. EMS is good, though, I'm all about non-drug therapies.
