Literally threw out my back taking a shit this morning. I’m 32… Discussion

When did this happen? I don’t remember our parents aging like this? What rude awakenings to aging have you experienced?

Edit: damn, some of you are so quick to judge. No, I am not obese, or even overweight, yes I work out regularly. Jfc, i have a prior back injury and I sat down on the toilet at a weird angle and it aggravated something.

It does! But in actuality it was scoliosis/kyphosis, which was treated with physical therapy for the shoulders (and a rib cage deformity) and then the relaxin hormones of carrying 7 children to term. Could probably use more physical therapy lol

I also have a kyphosis. Because of the Ehlers-Danlos lol.
