[Fan Letters].I really can't imagine how I raised this stupid son. It's been two years since he graduated from his bachelor's degree, and he's been lying at home for two whole years. I tried my best to persuade him to go to graduate school, and he verbally agreed, but in fact he was swiping his phone in bed every day. I used to think he was at least preparing for an exam, only to find out that he was doing nothing but swiping his phone.
In order to give him a turnaround, I even spent money to buy him a place to study abroad for graduate school. He didn't even know how to speak, and it was like I spent a lot of money in vain. What's even more terrifying is that he has also been cheated of tens of thousands of dollars on the Internet, which makes me feel that my son is really worrying.
Now he has put the blame on me, accusing me of being born in a poor family. He even called my husband stupid, saying that our IQ was really lost to the extreme. This made me even angrier because my husband and I had been working hard to give him a good living condition. But he lay at home, doing nothing, and had the face to say these things.
Recently, he even told me that he had lower back and leg pain and couldn't get up. I was so angry and distressed that I had to take him to the hospital for a check-up, which made me even angrier. The doctor told me that his muscles had atrophied because he had been lying still for a long time. I really want to cry without tears, this son simply makes me angry.
I'm really worried about his business while I'm working, but he doesn't care about anything. I really wonder if I'm a piece of waste. His dad also has such a point, and he is really lazy to get home. I'm really going to be tortured to death by this stupid son. Still so young, I want to ask, is there a way to cure it?
[Doctor's reply].Lying in bed is a daily life, and the correct sleeping posture is essential to protect the spine and maintain good health. Supine, side, and prone are common sleeping positions, but they vary in their effects on the body. When choosing a sleeping position, we should aim for a neutral and natural curvature of the spine to avoid potential health problems.
Lying on your back, as a common sleeping position, has obvious advantages and disadvantages. Lying on your back allows the spine to remain neutral and avoid compression of internal organs, but there are also some problems. Due to the lack of effective support for the lower back due to the large area of the hips and back touching the mattress, maintaining this position for a long time can lead to pain and muscle fatigue in the lower back. To alleviate these problems, it is recommended to put a pillow under your knees or thighs when using the supine position to support your lower back and reduce tension in your lower back muscles, thereby reducing discomfort.
Lying on your side is another common sleeping position, which is more friendly to the protection of the spine. Ideally, pillows and mattresses will properly support the human spine and keep it in a straight line when lying on your side. The side-lying position is difficult to maintain during sleep, and it is easy to sleep on the side, exerting rotational force on the spine, resulting in pain in the back and lower back, and may cause problems such as premature aging of the spine, bone hyperplasia, and lumbar disc herniation. To maintain a stable posture when lying on your side, it is recommended to have a pillow between your legs, which helps maintain a neutral position of your spine.
Prone is one of the most damaging postures for the body. When the human body sleeps on its stomach, the weight of the body compresses the chest cavity and internal organs, increasing the pressure on the lungs, which can lead to difficulty breathing. Most people's heads are turned to one side to make it easier to breathe, which can cause neck muscle soreness when waking up in the morning, and in severe cases, neck sprains. Therefore, it is not recommended to sleep on your stomach.
It should be noted that in some special cases such as:Pregnancy, suffering from certain diseases, after surgeryetc., you may need to maintain a specific sleeping position and not be able to change positions on your own. In these cases, it is best to choose the right sleeping position with the advice of a doctor to ensure that the impact on the body is minimized.
Relief for low back pain after lying down for a long time
Lying down for a long time may lead to lower back discomfort, which can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor resting environment, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, etc. In response to these problems, we can take a series of methods to improve and improve.
An improvement in the resting environment is essential to relieve lower back discomfort. Choosing an ergonomic mattress and pillow to ensure that the spine is well supported can help reduce pressure on the lumbar spine. Maintaining a good sleeping position and avoiding staying in the same position for long periods of time is also an effective way to reduce lower back discomfort.
Waist exercises are essential for building strength and flexibility in the lower back muscles. Proper lumbar exercise can promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and reduce the burden on the lumbar spine. Common lumbar exercises include sit-ups, flat leg raises, side leg raises, etc., but it is best to consult a doctor or health professional before performing any exercise to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the exercise.
Medications** are also a way to relieve lower back discomfort. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen can reduce inflammation and pain, but they should be used according to your doctor's advice and avoid long-term inappropriate use that can cause other problems.
In some cases, especially when lower back problems are more severe, surgery** may be necessary. For example, for symptoms such as lumbar disc herniation, surgery can achieve the best effect by reducing pressure and repairing damaged structures. Surgery is often seen as a last resort and is only considered if other methods have failed or the condition is severe.
For the lumbar discomfort caused by lying down for a long time, the comprehensive ** method is more effective. Through these methods, the problem can be solved more comprehensively and the quality of life of patients can be improved. Advice from a medical professional should be consulted before any case to develop an individualized plan.
