I’m a 23 yo female- pain just started in my left upper shoulder, it feels sharp and burning and the pain is pulsating rather than being constant. The only thing I’ve done recently outside of my normal daily exercise, is I have started teaching Color Guard (Flag spinning/dancing) practices again. I believe right now that I pulled or strained something or just put extra stress upon my muscles. I don’t feel bad enough to have it checked but I’m wondering – what are some things I should be doing to take care of it and to ease the pain?
I’ve hurt other parts of my body and have braces for my ankle, wrist, and knee all due to Color Guard…this is the first time I’ve ever stressed my shoulder. I do stretch before any spinning begins, in fact I have a stretching routine for the whole entire team to help prevent muscle stressing. I’ve had sore muscles before from using muscles again that I haven’t used for a season- but this isn’t the same pain. This is very sharp and the pain pulsates like a heart beat.
First of all, I am under a lot of stress, and I am not resting enough so all this is probably related.. does any one have any suggestion.. Is there a brace or something to remind me to set up straight. I know that exercise can help and I am going to incorporate that in my daily routine.
So, I’ve been a cashier for seven years and I get a really bad pain in my wrist and it goes into my shoulders. It’s really bad. I wake up and I can barely move my arm. I have to prop myself up with my other arm. I’ve been to the doctor and he told me I have tennis elbow or something and gave me this little brace to wear on my forearm. I’ve used this to no avail. I am wondering, however, if I would be able to do some type of exercise to alieviate my pain.

my 18 degrees scoliosis was detected two years ago. since my ortho advised me to wear a brace because my case was mild and could be corrected still, i wore the traditional boston brace for a year but i couldn’t stand it any longer. although everyone saw the improvement on my back in just a snap, i couldn’t do some activities, and since i’m a sporty energetic teen, i’m not used to this rigid posture. also, it felt itchy and irritating. a year after, i would always come up with reasons to avoid wearing the cast. and i always had mood changes due to my situation. i had some people in school making fun of me because the hard brace is noticeable at all under the school uniform. my parents scold me all the time for not wearing the brace they bought me for 13,000 Pesos. if they just knew how hard it is! i’ve been researching and i learned about this spineCor. i would really like to purchase it, although i know it would just make my parents more disappointed. but who cares, if they wouldn’t buy it for me, i’ll use my own money to buy it. but who knows, if my parents fall for this new brace? i’ll just need to know a lot of information about this stuff– where it can be purchased in the philippines, how much it’ll cost, how it works and stuff. i’ll really try my best to encourage my parents to buy this stuff.
if ever i could never really get spinecor, i would like to know some alternatives besides bracing for an 18 degree scoliosis. i used to be given 1- hour exercise for my scoliosis. if i do that twice a day as advised, would that mean i could stop wearing body brace? of course, i know i couldn’t. that’s what my rehab doctor and ortho said. they said 23 hours a day. and i could only use the hour for taking a bath or doing my exercise. i’m wearing my boston brace again for this summer vacation. but since the school year is fast- approaching, i’m afraid i would wear the hideous brace again. i’m planning to wear the brace for 13-14 hours a day (meaning, after classes) since school starts at 7am and ends at 4pm. can my back be corrected with the 13-hours-a-day bracing and twice-a-day exercising? or should i take some medicines or do some sports advised, like swimming?
please help me. i’m 15 years old and i should be enjoying my teenage years. could you help me by giving me some websites that could help or sharing your personal experiences asap? thank you! i would really appreciate your help.
I have terrible posture. It especially shows in my face because my neck and head tilt to one side. I was wondering if I could correct it my building my own posture bed. I am picturing a flat surface (wood?) with a thin matt and some kind of support system that would frame my knees, hips, shoulders, and head in a symmetrical position. Kind of like a coffin that hugs you. Or like one of those styrofoam cases that holds its objects in place. I feel like a few years of sleeping in the right position (plus some exercise) would fix my problem. Has anyone heard of such a bed box/case? Or has anyone used one with a success story?
I came up with this idea after going to China and seeing how well the ‘flat bed’ worked for their posture. They say sleeping on your back helps… so wouldn’t sleeping on your back with these supports help the same way?

My breasts are Cs (been the same size since elementary school) and they sag horribly (I can literally pull 3-4 inches of extra skin off of them). I gained weight on steroids for asthma. My breasts didn’t get bigger or smaller but the skin around it did and they sag. Honestly, they just look like flaps of skin. If I look down, I can’t even see my nipples unless I pull my breasts up. I’ve tried all kinds of bras but none have helped lift them. My posture is horrible and my back kills me. But I’m tall and my breasts are small on my frame so I think it’s more of the sagging than the actual weight that pulls me down. Both my mom and I think it’s best if I get a back brace. I plan on having a lift and implants to get rid of the extra skin and make them nice looking (I don’t mean to sound vain but I would like to have nice ones at least during youth like everyone else) at 18. Also to make them more symmetrical because I can feel the difference. Where can I find a backbrace online or something
I’m 16 right now also. I don’t want a reduction. I’ve lost 60 pounds of the steroid weight but I’m 215 and 5’8. I have arthritus in my collarbone from a car wreck because the bone healed wrong so exercise is too much pain along with my back and my breasts.
I just said I didn’t want a reduction. The health risks of a reduction are far greater than a lift and implants. Also I’ve done all types of bras. They’re the right size and stuff. My breasts just sag too much.
I know not everyone’s breasts are symmetrical but the uneveness causes me to lean to the heavier side a bit. My mom can’t afford pilates. We don’t even have any place near our home that offers it without a gym membership which is way too much money. And as I said I have arthritus and working out hurts me. I don’t wish to take pain pills so any exercise especially boxing or martial arts would hurt me very very badly and again, my family can’t afford a gym membership to take those classes.
There’s no Victoria’s Secret or Fredricks of Hollywood where I am. We can’t drive 50 miles there and 50 miles back into the town with a mall that has those businesses to buy the exact same type of bras I’ve had. I’ve been fitted many times professionally. It doesn’t make a difference.
II hear that you need to keep telling a person with parkinson’s disease to stand up straight. Is there anything else that I can do to help with this problem? Back brace-exercise? Massage?
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com To start off workout A from the Turbulence Training intermediate workout, we will start out with a superset of dumbbell split squats and dumbbell incline chest presses. So, for the split squat you will get in a split stance, which is a slightly exaggerated step. Hold the dumbbells by your sides. However, if you are new to this exercise then you can do the split squat without weights or do it next to a wall or a beam to get some balance. The lead leg in this exercise is going to do all of the work. You will be balanced on the ball of your back foot, and a lot of weight is going to be on the heel of your front leg. So, in a nice proud position, drop straight down, letting your knee drop just above the ground, and then drive through the front leg to come back up. Completeall 8 repetitions for one side and then switch to the other side. You will know if you are using too much weight if your chest is sagged forward and your posture is deviated from what it should be. Moving right into the dumbbell incline chest press, set the incline at about 45 degrees and place the dumbbells at chest height. Press up and in, and then down and out for 8 repetitions. Now rest one minute and then repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 supersets. In the second superset of workout A you are going to do 15 repetitions of two bodyweight exercises, the stability ball leg curl and pushups. For the stability ball leg curl, you want to push your …
