Oh that sucks. The not knowing what it is part must be the worst :-/ Glad to hear the weed helps.

sounds like your back, from the sitting. have you tried pilates or yoga?

i should say at this point that i am not a doctor. where's Geebs when you need him...

I make a point of mentioning to everyone I see about this that I sit for long hours every day and that I have bad posture, but nobody seems to think it's particularly noteworthy. We'll see what this physical therapist thinks after a few more meetings, I've only seen him once so far.

I suffer from lower back pain as a result of riding. I could tell you about the time I was stuck in a taxi door in Germany when my back went and the doctor gave me a shot in my lower back which made me very happy for two days, but it's a long story and you probably had to be there to get the lols. Anyway, shit hurts.

and this is why i ride a recumbent

Didn't think that made a jott of difference?

I've been to see a professional about it. Apparently, i've torn something after a fall and keep aggravating it so last year i started planking and now it's much better. Also leaving my old job seems to have helped, must have been my office chair.

it does. i used to get serious lower back pain from just 30 mile rides on a DF that took all week to disappear (in time for the next ride). did oxford-cambridge (88 miles) on a recumbent, no pain. your whole back takes your weight

knees are different matter tho

You need to see someone else. I'm in the bad posture camp and buying a proper chair helped me tons. I still have the same pains but they are way way less than they used to be. I'm still a slouchy fuck but it does help having a decent chair.

Sitting is fucking awful for you. Hips, Back. Its bad news bears. Its why I have a wireless headset for work and play. SO I can walk around sometimes.

It's true but so weird. How's that for intelligent design eh? The human body is just flawed in so many ways.

Its no joke. My hips have been killer lately and I feel like my chairs not total dogshit these days.

Phil Scott signed the bill, recreational weed is legal now!

Do it up!

Way ahead of you.

Is it legal immediately?

I know when some states voted it in, it wasn’t actually legal for a year or two after the vote...

The last I read about it, it won't take effect until June or July of this year.
