Then I’m not sure why you started talking about shoulders and yoga instead of walking…
Like, I agreed with you that yoga would help your shoulder.
It’s just not the same as walking a mile 3/week for general chronic pain, which is why you had to change the injury and the treatment for an example of it working.
I’m legitimately not sure what the confusion here is.
Like, sometimes I take things as obvious when they’re not to anyone, but you understand for walking to help stretch what is causing mobility issues, it has to have no other cause than lack of exercise?
And if they would have kept up the bare minimum of physical activity, they wouldn’t have developed chronic pain?
For someone with chronic pain as a result of an actual health issue, you have to resolve the underlying issue.
But I legitimately can’t think of how else to explain this, so if you don’t clarify what you’re having difficulty understanding here, I’m just not gonna be able to help.
I gotta agree. If walking a few miles a week is the cure, you probably weren’t so bad off to begin with.
My anecdote: Been sitting doing IT for a couple of decades. Now that I hike a few miles, 4-5 days a week, I no longer have lower back pain. (That and properly adjusting my 20lb. backpack!)
Comments like yours are why I look at the negative posts here. Nothing you stated was crazy, out of line, nothing. Lemmy: “Fuck you!”
It’s because it’s the same thing that happened with add or autism.
People feel like they have the symptoms that they think a disease has, and diagnosis themselves. But they have absolutely zero idea what it’s actually like, or ever tried to seek medical attention.
Give it another 3-5 years and they’ll move on from chronic pain too.
You mean the activity designed for thousands of years to increase flexibility by slow and intentional movements helps your flexibility?
Crazy…
But if it’s a back or lower body issue, walking a mile multiple times a week is likely to do more harm than good.
Like, if the cause of chronic pain is lack of basic physical activity, and can be cured by doing a very small amount…
Then that person never really had chronic pain. They just felt shitty because they weren’t getting any exercise.
That’s why the bare minimum of exercise showed a significant improvement

And that sort of condition is not what OP was describing.

Oh shit…
Someone sounded like they knew more than you did?!
Better result to 7th grade insults, that’ll show them!
I mean. What else could you have done? Politely ask them for a source to back up what you didn’t feel was right?!
Preposterous!
You might learn something
“cured” is not a meaningful word here, given the chronic nature.
And that’s OP’s point? If walking a bit fixes your pain, you didn’t have a chronic pain issue to begin with.
Do y’all not actually read the comments? Or do you all just dog-pile with “feels”? FFS, the comment you’re replying to agrees with you.
Managing a chronic condition is the name of the game. “Curing” is not. Walking COULD be part of amanagement plan.
But.no, I don’t agree with the above, a “legitimate” (lol) chronic condition could possibly, context dependent be managed with motion. Possibly.
Not cured.
