Chronic pain and posture

[Dextah]

Hi, Dextah
How did your back pain start at beginning? Any injuries? How is your movement like at moment? Any pain when you bending and doing things? When you start doing things, back feels better?
Have you try doing some aerobic exercises like walking and cycling? If you haven't try some of these exercises.
Also try some relaxation techniques, slouch if you feel more comfortable and relaxed, standing with your stomach relaxed as well.
Get me informed how are you getting on, if above seems help you, I can explain more to you.

Thanks so much for the reply ill try giving some more info, im not quite sure how it all started but no apparent injuries i know that around the same time of losing my weight i tried to improve other parts of my life like posture when sitting and i got a new desk chair which was very uncomfortable for me as i was not used to sitting in a proper chair with good posture and i kind of suffered through the pain for a couple days with no improvement so i tried going back to my old chair and it just never went away and to this day i still cannot sit in a chair without pain, i never realized at the time but i know i had poor posture i was hunched and had the butt pulled away from the back of the chair some which i know is bad. But currently my pain in my upper back/neck/all along spine is pretty bad on a daily basis it gets worse as the day goes on and gets very very bad when sitting/standing still. And my neck pain gets worse when looking down, working with my hands above my head or even just holding up a book to read, and even laying on my back on a pillow will cause neck pain but when laying on my back if i turn my head to the left or right the pain subsides a lot. the pain in the neck feels like its actually in the neck bones and starts burning out towards the sides/traps(?)

i had the neck pain for awhile before my back pain but i just lived with it and its gotten worse since my back also. Now my back pain is like a burning pain that aches and gets worse when bending or sitting or standing straight up still. Like if im standing still and chopping some fruit my back will start burning and arching and i will start twisting to try to crack it and when my pain gets bad it seems to crack and snap alot. All day i have to stand basically i sit for maybe 5 min at a time. I tried doing back strengthening exercises but anything i try to do only makes it worse for example i tried doing seated rows but of coure it made it worse because it makes it worse to sit and i tried bent over rows but it hurts also so im just so stuck.

I have been researching myself since no one around me seems to be able to help i have been to physiotherapists but where i live they really dont seem to know alot or just dont care, From my research some things that i could have are:

Kyphosis
Upper-cross syndrome
Forward Head
Posterior pelvic tilt

but im not a pro so i really dont know and i don’t know where to start to try to fix these things. I do walk daily and walking doesnt make it worse and actually makes it some better if it gets really bad the only things i can do are lay on my side in a fetus position or walk around. I cannot figure out why i cannot stand up straight even without burning i have to step side to side or just move around.


Thanks again.
