Exercise too much or wrong posture while exercising? It was during my prime age when I would do any chores along the way, literally do all one man task, driver, go warehouse, select product, packed & wrapped and carry 5kg-9kg load and squeezed into plastic plastic wrapped to be shipped to Indonesia, HK and Malaysia delivery by vessels or planes, those days family business , exercises would help loosens pain barriers, next pains result from no warm down to lessen core muscles group, took up dragon boat racing for club level as hobbies as well as strengthen my upper torso body. later year and looking back must occlude conditioning and toning of muscle group by brief walking only . I take loads of fruits and dark chocolate and stretching exercises to relax my core muscles, I don't exert myself, most of the time, I listen to my body if I have enough walk for the day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there done that. I hope you are no longer on Arcoxia. If you are in pain, you will need regular maintenance to avoid going under the knife again. Find a good physiotherapist that can help you to manage (not eliminate) the issue. Chiro and TCM can't fix this problem from my experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiro and TCM can't fix this problem from my experience. after the last surgery, arcoxia is history for me i have tried many TCM, physios, chiros and etc but I dont think it helps in my condition as what meanmachine has said 'i try not to exert myself and listen more to my body...' i have to reiterate that eating food that doesnt cause inflammation helps and fruit is one of them 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
