    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.
