first sign of getting old

Back pain. That’s right. I am having severe back pain for last few weeks. When I wake up in the morning, I can hardly breath because of the pain. But I ignore it and after a while it goes away. Then I forget about it until next morning when it comes back.

I can’t figure out the reason behind it. I sleep on a comfortable bed. And I have slept at the most uncomfortable of places, and never had a problem. Why is it so that the bed of my own home is causing me the ache. One thing I know is that the pain started shortly after I started working. Don’t know how is that related to it, but when I was at home looking for a job my bed never gave me problems.

So that’s the first sign of me getting old. Let’s see what’s next.

    It’s due to work. How can you think otherwise?

    Take breaks. Play something during the evening, preferably a game like tabble tennis (which makes you move hands and focus on a moving thing).

    Make sure that you have no reflection on your monitor. Also, keep in mind the best position for legs and arms when you are typing. I’m sure you can find plenty of resources on the Internet dealing with ergonomics.

    And don’t over do it! Take it very very seriously. There was a person in Neovision who worked day and night on a project which was later scraped. And that person almost killed himself due to back-and-neck pain. He was instructed strict bed rest for three months by the doctors.

    So, weigh the odds and be warned!

  • Ohhhhh man. This is disturbing. Now people in my age range are talkng about getting old. This is so disturbing. AAAAAAAAAAAAA.

  • thing is… i only get it in the mornings… it vanishes away by the time i get dressed up and all… and doesnt bother me all day long… until next morning… thats how the cycle goes… also… i dont sit on my chair from 9 to 5. i walk around the office a lot to talk to different people… and i keep changing my position while sitting… so nothing really makes much sense at the moment…
    oh and guess what… this morning i didnt feel any pain… and i didnt change anything yesterday…. so its totally random…. seems like my body has started playing tricks on me… like my mind does all the time.

  • Sometimes one has back pain because of over-sleeping as well.
