Lower back pain is really vague. So , whatever exercise a kinesiologist or physical therapist advises for you particular situation. Mainly, core exercises, activating the pelvic floor, walking, swimming and activities like practicing Chi-gong, Taichi, pilates and Yoga are known to provide good support. But there are many good options out there.

mb with the term musculation, it's french for bodybuilding... so calisthenics or weights. Basically progressively including load bearing exercises to increase muscle strength in a controlled environment, which allows you to endure static postures longer without your muscles overreacting.

I also feel that this simple jump into load bearing exercises really skips many essential steps like mobilisation, not working through severe pain, etc.

Agreed that you can work through mild pain, although it's best not to when in severe pain. You start with light mobilisation exercises without stretching and gradually move onto increasing your range of motion and bulking up through light stretching and increasing load.

Exercise and musculation are more important than stretching. It has been proven time after time that the best is to build up your core. Avoiding prolonged static postures also helps to not lock up various muscles and articulations. So many ways to find relief, like alternating cold and medium-heat and relaxation. Lowering your overall stress levels also contributes to your greater well being in cases where people are dealing with chronic pain.

The idea here is that you are only playing the losing side by trying to avoid rejection. I rode with that crowd for a while; dressing up in black to seem dark and dangerous. You can't hide in plain sight. You inevitably just meet like minded people who are dark or are stark and alone. Either way camping a joyous or bleak position is unrealistic; just go with the flow. Sometimes people will break your heart or disagree and sometimes they'll feed your endeavors and validate your ideas, it's a crazy world.

Meanwhile you say that you want to be alone while chatting through your computer, so you seek some type of validation even for your sensibilities about it being good to be a loner in order to isolate yourself from random outcomes. Our conversation hasn't exactly gone the way you expected it and you still bravely pursued the discussion. So why not face that challenge in person with people? Not all of them are out to judge you; we just disagree and do what's best for us sometimes. Without having you sacrifice anything major, I hope that you feel less isolated in time. We speak the same language, we have the same challenges as a species, you'd be surprised how few people get by on their own. Challenges everywhere, including the challenge of perspective and meeting others half-way. Take care.

Anytime. Thanks for pretend to be some type of robotic grim reaper to protect your insecurities from anything that you might have to show you care for and risk having your ego bruised.

You don't absolutely need to commune regularly, but don't answer his query by you being the one to reject his needs. It's ok to be a loner just as it is to be community oriented. You know nothing about neurotypical mindframes if you are assuming that what that person needs is what works for you. Autism for one can make you diverge strongly and it's ok; just dont' assume the that path those divergences are taking are all the same.

That's a bit on the strong side and isolationism for many has its very definite drawbacks. As gregarious beings it's ok for many to feel a need for community.

If one of those friends feels close enough to express these feelings too, do so. Tell them that you enjoy their company and that you'd appreciate them calling you some time. Some people aren't inclined to call and that's just it.

You have to maybe also broaden your circle by finding other board game aficionados or by engaging in other group activities. I often felt as you did, while being the one who himself called to know what was up without really ever organizing anything. But I was always part of a bunch of group activities that led to other activities and being invited to parties and even Xmas. Lots of those people I don't see anymore and it's ok.

You have to realize that people are bustling a lot more than they were in their little villages 500 years ago. Find a place or thing you like and you will find more like minded people.

Good shit doesn't come knocking at your door to sweep you of your feet.

''You never cease to amaze me.''

If people think everyone needs to validate their every whim, there goes rational discourse and debate.

It's sometimes people who are letting you know what's up. They might not be putting you down but are advising you otherwise. I've given advice and facts to people who refuse them and brush me off as a hater. Perspective can be a real bitch at times, so don't hate, but don,t think people hate you either, it closes you mind to what might really be there.

He's not wrong but he's not all right. Only you know what you are willing to invest. Making it through medical school is strenuous and will take a lot of willpower, hard work and long hours. It also doesn't end there because doctors and lawyers do crazy hours. No can know exactly what you are capable and willing to do and medical school is a possibility although an extremely challenging one. You can't just be an average doctor, to be a doctor you have to qualify. It's not like being a soso financial consultant.

Quit while you are ahead and go one to bigger and better things.

You talk too much

Most topical relief is only mildly effective. The best recommendations here are rest, mobilisation for blood flow and gcold therapy for inflammation.

What if it means having to spy?

What are two things that I wouldn't mind to see disappear due to the sheer waste of resources they demand.

Tbh give anything a narcissist wants and things will go better.

Anyone else wondering why not just create it here if it's going to be in a bubble? It's a lot more accessible than on per say another world. Stop funding these pipe dreams. Meanwhile we have everything here and we are throwing resources at this or wondering if a asteroid is going to hit earth, etc. Try evaluate everything that can and will go wrong on your make believe terrafirm project. People can't engineer a bridge without there being plenty of oversights . Get real please.

Is anyone ever surprised to hear that big money meddles in politics and feeds it back?

If you do nothing to help yourself, you are setting yourself up for deception.

The elephant in your story gets beaten back onto another rope. Your analogy is weak.

It's the beatings that give the rope all that might! It was coerced into the comfort of slavery over the vivid pain of torture.

Pragmatically speaking national defense and military threat are of mus=ch more use to anyone than asteroids. Humans are a threat, asteroids are a possible threat.
