Back Pains Due to Prolonged Sitting at Work

My office mate has been complaining of severe back pain and she told me that she’s experiencing it for few months already. When she cannot bear the pain anymore she consulted her doctor and undergone MRI scan to fully know where the pain is coming from. She learned that she has a mild slip disc and it can be treated through specific back therapy. I’m glad that it’s not herniated bulging disc because if it was she will have to go through surgery to ease the pain she’s experiencing. Anyway after 10 sessions of weekly therapy she’s back to normal and though she’s experiencing light pains sometimes she brushed it off as normal. 

 I also experienced such back pains but I have hesitations for MRI and therapies because it only happens to me when I’m over fatigue and tired. My work demands me to work long in front of the computer and I can’t help it sometimes to sit in a slouch position. I also had 10 weekly sessions of therapy with my Mom and it done me good. I’m glad that I didn’t have to see my doctor about it. Prayers help a lot you know.

Topics During Work Breaks

At work when we’re on lunch break we usually spends sometime talking our family. We laugh at the antics of our small kids and sometimes shows videos of them. Of course my stories of my own children is never left out as I always talk about their flair for music and in playing various musical instruments. I even told them that if there’s an instructor on Marimba playing maybe my kids will ask me to hire that music tutor. 

I mentioned it because last week my little boy is asking me about those Mike Balter Marimba Mallets he saw while researching for his assignment. From the look on his eyes I can see that he’s very determined to know what it is. I showed him various kinds of mallets and he became more interested how to play Marimba. Oh well I didn’t how to play it either so I’m hoping that his curiosity will die down and he’ll be back with his drum set wish.
