I’m just 23 but since a couple of years I’m getting all sorts of body pains. I got a wrist pain which was diagnosed as acute RSI last year and I got rid of it with exercise. It came back now. I got an upper back pain couple of years ago and solved using PT. I now have acute sciatica and I’m doing PT for it. I try to keep myself fit. I go to gym 3-4 times a week, bike, etc. I’m not sure why this is happening. I’m worried that this might increase a lot in future, with age. Any suggestions? Ah, I’m a programmer. May be that’s the issue and may be this profession is not for me. 😢
My cousin is a weak child. She is always suffering something minor - muscular leg pains, shoulder pain, facial hair, grey hair, weak eyes, catches cold/flu too quickly etc. Nothing too serious but there has always been something that bothered her since she was a kid. We took her around to a lot of doctors for specific problems but medical science didn't help. Then when she was almost 25, we resorted to ayurvedic medicines for her and that helped. Her leg pain was relieved by consuming warm ginger turmeric milk before bedtime, stomach pain was relieved with a medicine called msiliv-D. I am not a doctor but I suggest you look up herbal cures if medical science hadn't helped.
What would you even tell an Ayurvedic doctor? I’m not even sure if people understand
They do. Trust me, my cousin faced this problem a lot. When we went to the gastroenterologist for stomach pain, they would only give us medicine for that particular problem. If we told him, she also suffers from leg pain, for example, they would direct us to another doctor. The problem with medical science is they don't understand how the functioning of one body part can affect another. Most of the times, symptoms are treated. But ayurveda mostly treats the cause. Again, I am not a doctor neither do I want to promote anything. That's only coming from personal experience but l I am saying is - there's no harm in giving it a try. I am from India so finding an ayurvedic doctor was easy there. I am not sure how easy it is in the US but give it a shot. Or let me know if I can help if any way.
Yeah consider trying Indian medicine Ayurveda. I have spondylitis. There is no cure for it. They give steroids and drugs. Try natural therapeutic way. You need to follow strict diet
I suffered from spondylitis years ago. After an year of taking physiotherapy and spending money on the doctor (also getting emotionally sad with all the visits), I improved it with regular exercise, massage, and diet.
True that. Exercise and diet are major factors
For all you know, it could be as simple as gastric and acidity. Maintain a good and healthy diet and less junk. No chips etc. Drink lots of water. For sciatica, there are some stretches on web. Those helped magically for me. If you are repeatedly getting the pains, it is probably bad diet that you follow?
How does gastric affect body pains? I’ve had some troubles with acidity in the past and had to take omeprazole for few months to subside
It causes body pains?
Bad desk chair?
I have pain in my index fingers and sometimes in my arms, no diagnosis for it, hand specialist just told me it's not carpel tunnel.
Try yoga.
I’m seriously considering this. Given that most of pains are due to muscle tightness and yoga is all about stretching. Do you have experience in this? Any recommendations on the way to start?
How's your mental health? Emotions and thoughts affect bodily health.
Very good. No complains there
Same here! For me, I went through 5 years and multiple hospital/ urgent care visits to be diagnosed with multi-autoimmune disease. I take 3 doses of vitamin D3 and have a medicine that lowers my autoimmune system slowly during flare ups. If you have to choose between sleep or working out, choose sleep.

Have some blood tests done. I discovered I had a blood disorder after numerous issues with joint pain. Finally got my doctor to schedule a full blood work up. Once discovered, a few simple treatments and that’s all fine. I then found out I have scoliosis but that’s different.
My hip is a uneven (one side lower than other) and this leads to a curve in spinal cord. But this is a small difference, not sure if it matters.
What was the blood disorder if you don't mind me asking..or maybe which specific test could diagnose the disorder? @Tutanota
