Today, I decided to improve my posture by sitting through all of my classes with my shoulders and back completely straight. Pretty soon I couldn't move my shoulders at all. I had to go to the chiropractor. It turns out that in trying to improve my posture, I misaligned my spine instead. FML

Today, I went to the chiropractor for a check up. She was going through some of the ways to help my posture and mentioned something that I've never heard before. My fat ass thought it was a type of food. Turns out it was a sports routine. FML

Posturing

Today, I researched how to manage chronic tailbone pain from excessive sitting. One of the most consistent pieces of advice was to lean forward when working. My posture is already so bad, my chiropractor says I'm one of his worst clients of all time. I work a desk job. FML

Today, I managed to "permanently and irrevocably" damage my spine. How? By bending down and picking up a piece of paper. According to my doctor, essentially I need to, "bend over like a stripper if I want to pick something up." FML

Today, I went to my doctor to get my x-ray results. Turns out, I have a fractured spine and a chip of my spine has moved. Now I'm in a neck brace because my dad didn't think it was serious, and told me to "suck it up princess." FML

Bent out of shape

Today, I went for a massage because my shoulder's been hurting for months but I can't take decent painkillers because they'd react with my anti-depressants. It STILL hurts, but worse, across my upper spine, and I can't tilt my head back. I paid to look like The Hunchback of Notre Dame doing a swan impression. FML

Today, before class I was trying to prove I can twist myself like the people on the front of my anatomy textbook, I got onto a table and twisted my ankles behind my head. Everyone seemed impressed until I farted so loudly that it echoed in the hallway. I couldn't get my legs unstuck. FML

Today, my parents brought me to the doctor because I was faking a headache. One thing led to another, and it turns out I have a tumor pressing against my spine. FML

Today, being my usual clumsy self, I slipped on the stairs and landed on my tailbone. Hard. Now, I can't even sit up. I have to drive to school and sit on a very hard plastic chair for four and a half hours tomorrow. FML

Today, I had a great workout and was feeling really good about my body. Until I sat on my desk, and broke it. FML

Today, I went to a yoga class, thinking it would be good for my stiff calf from running. I pulled my back out doing the downward dog. Now can't get out of bed. FML

You should see a real physician. Of course a chiropractor will tell you your spine is misaligned, otherwise he doesn't get paid. Chiropractic was invented by a guy who healed with magnets and invented some magical "flow" that his "adjustments" were helping... there is not ONE IOTA of scientific evidence supporting this quackery.

Exactly...so skip the chiropractor and go straight for the live blood analysis.

Amen...you probably overused weak muscles sending them into spasm. You could have saved the cash from the chiropractor and just iced it- which is pretty much what you are supposed to do after ANY injury (unless you're allergic to ice). And on top of that, aside from light stretching, no one should work on you like that with an acute injury. Sincerely, Someone who knows what she's talking about

how could chiropractic services not have any real facts showing that it works while it is also such a big field.( but I agree that the inventor was dumb for thinking it was magic) another point: it has also been proven that magnets can change how the body does stuff at that moment also it doesn't matter how it was invented or by who it could still produce results. it is like acupuncture something people do not think works because they say it affects "chalkra" (or something like that, I don't know) but it has been proven to have results for a completely different reason

Ya know, whenever I try to sit straight and work on my posture I get uncomfortable. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I don't know. Eh, I just give up and slouch.

you should have just sat up straight when you were little because it becomes a habit and now your just "trying" you need to stop trying and start doing!!!
