Do you sit right?
Just a week ago, I had to cancel my trip to see my client. I haven’t reach 30 but I got this senior citizen common problem. I couldn’t walk a distance, it started from my back pain. It was so frustating, painful and jailed my activities. I went to some famous chinese therapist, he gave traditional medicine and it didn’t work out. Eventually, I went to a specialist doctor in RS Pluit, Dr Cecilia Padang, got a pain killer injection for temporary solution. Plus several medicines and ask me to do a lab test. It was clear that I’m having rheumatics, she said it’s genetic, but I know the trigger - it’s my lifestyle.
I used to work at least 7-10 hours/day using laptop. And did I said it’s just for work ? The other 2-3 hours is for fun, browsing and refreshing reddit. I never watch TV lately, who watch it anyway ? Do you ? Super mama show ? C’mon…
After 2 days, the pain killer effect gradually dissapear, I started feel the pain but it’s getting better for the next 2 days. Hopefully, it’s not because the pain killer. It’s funny, several years ago my friends told me that everyone that work behind the desk would have a back pain problem once in a while. I didn’t take her advice seriously before, now I found out that many of these problems is not only painful but often difficult or impossible to cure.
So this is a warning for you my friend, get excercise, don’t forget to do a light stretching, consider adjusting or upgrading your work area and keep remind to sit in proper position. (Because internet is still worth it than super mama show rite ?…)
