People with Back Problems and Spinal Problems
This post is for people dealing with back problems and for people dealing with people with back problems. This post is inspired by Steve Nash, his back problems, and the criticism he has received
because he’s still swinging a golf club. I have to say something about this
because it hits home for me (since I have pre-existing back problems too,
although my back problems are now under control and I am now back pain free thanks to God and thanks to my SpirFit knowledge, including knowledge of appropriate exercises.) It baffles me how some people think it’s okay
to criticize or even make fun of you in your pain.
If You Know Someone With Spinal or Back Problems
When it comes to spinal conditions, or back problems, different cases
are individualistically different. Some
may have trouble swinging a golf club while others do not (but any one of them
will probably still have a lot of pain if they have to play high level NBA
basketball games.)
Just like with any medical condition, different patients experience
things differently. It is unbelievable
how people can criticize someone with medical problems, problems that they do
not understand. If you don’t understand,
just shut up with it, because God may punish you for this and give you the same
pain. Trust me, pain from spinal
problems is something you don’t want. As
a Chinese saying goes, “You understand a needle is painful, but you don’t
really understand until the needle penetrates your own skin and bone.”
The criticisms and negative comments toward Steve Nash is literally “adding
insult to injury” and it’s appalling. You
are doing the same if you ever criticize someone in their pain or medical
problem that you don’t understand (even if you think you do). Don’t do that.
If You Have Back Problems
Also, if you have back problems, generally you should continue to engage
in any physical activity that does not aggravate the problem or does not exacerbate
the pain. Physical activity that does
not aggravate the problem actually helps you heal. Inactivity actually will make your back
problems worse. This is backed up by
medical literature. Any good orthopedic
doctor or doctor of physical therapy can confirm this. For Steve Nash, if swinging a golf club and
hiking does not give him much pain, then engaging in such physical activities
actual helps the condition. If chasing
opponents like Steph Curry up and down the basketball court in NBA games
aggravates his spine, then he needs to take a break to recover (especially when
he’s 40 or above) before attempting to play at that level again. From someone who knows spinal problems
firsthand (and knows some of the medical literature on this), it seems like
Steve Nash is doing exactly the right thing
