Just saying I teach body mechanics to nurses. Back injuries are seldom caused by one specific thing. It’s years of poor body mechanics, weak core, improper lifting etc. that add up over time. Yes you may be able to identify when it happened like during a lift or a fall. But most of the time it accumulated over years. That’s probably why they are scrutinizing it. If you do an MRI of just about any middle aged person’s back, you will find lots of disc and arthritic changes and damage. Daily core strengthening is the best thing you can do, not meds/injections etc to mask it,

It’s depressing… I work in a hospital and have always said the 90 year olds are the best group to work with, the younger they get the more sedentary, unhealthy, needy and lazy they are. It’s even a big drop off between the 90 year olds and the 80 year olds.

I have All state with 2 teen drivers. 6 month renewal just went down 800 dollars.

Yes. The system failed her. But not in the way these women want to admit. She had access to all the help and healthcare should could possibly want.

100% nailed it. Tough love. Stop trying to mute the pain. Sometimes we have to be real and face it. We are an over medicated society.

First the Vatican is considered one of the most charitable organizations in the world.
Second, if you have ever walked into St. Peter’s basilica or most other churches in Rome, you’ll understand that appreciation for beauty helps point us to God.

Early knee range of motion after surgery is critical, and it really needs to start right away. I typically see patients within hours of their procedure, and one of the biggest things I emphasize is getting the knee moving early—before scar tissue has a chance to form.
Once significant scar tissue develops, it becomes much harder to regain motion. In some cases, the only option left is a manipulation under anesthesia, which we obviously want to avoid if possible.
While both bending (flexion) and straightening (extension) matter, full extension is actually the priority early on. That’s because your ability to walk normally depends on getting the knee all the way straight. If you’re lacking extension—even by a few degrees—it can significantly affect your gait and lead to other issues over time.
The goal is to reach 0 degrees of extension as soon as possible so you can restore a normal walking pattern. Flexion will come with time, but extension is something you really want to focus on right from the start. You don’t actually need much more than 115 degrees for normal daily activities, but you should have 0 degrees extension.

Name checks out

Glad to hear but too late for us. Last year, son had 36 on ACT and LSU pretty much offered TOPs with barely anything extra- no thanks. Nothing was added to recruit him or sell the school.
This year, our other son with 34 ACT didn’t even want to consider LSU. Both these kids had outstanding academics, leadership roles, participation in varsity sports, and numerous volunteer hours. They lost out on 2 great in-state kids. Hopefully from what you are saying they have decided to change some things.

My very wise son told me when he was 9, “You can’t make me be what you want me to be.” We had to realize he just wasn’t a sports kid and let it go…He ended up being outstanding in academics and band. Now has full ride to college and in SEC marching band. Wasn’t what we envisioned at the time but so happy we allowed him to follow his own path.
