Back pains from revision

Is anyone else getting back pains and feel the need to always 'crack' your bones near the top of your spine as in keep stretching until you hear that click lol

Ever since ive started revision all the hours spent at the desk have led to this feeling

Yep. It's all that hunching. I was speaking to a friend and we agreed that the best way to unwind after finishing exams would be a full spa-day with multiple massages.

But that costs too much money. Dammit.

I've got back pain, headaches, a slight feverish feeling and stomach cramps.
I'm going to need hospitalisation after these exams are over.

Just arch your back, backwards, like your doing the limbo ... and try to arch it as much as possible, you will hear tons of cracks and it'll feel much better. You can do it sideways too, cracks galore. It might be bad for you, but what the hell.

Oh...I don't drink.

And I can't imagine it really making the back pain better...

Yeah its kind of the same thing, you obviously wont... but if you try to bench press heavy weight ... your back all clicks into place, feels great lol

RSI - Repetitive strain injury. I'm currently experiencing it from using my laptop for revision.

Really irritating to be honest. And the sooner these bloody exams are done the better. Whoever suggested the spa day - I might treat myself lol

If your light, or you know anyone strong enough to arch your back for you, it will crack, it has to crack.

I've got sciatica, and I've been in the worst pain everyday for months because of doing all my coursework and then all this revision! Can't wait until the exams are over!

I've even had to get the examinations officer to sit me at the back and tell the supervisors to let me stand up and walk around, and still give me the correct exam time :biggrin:

Oh yeah, and don't crack your back! I'm sure it's bad for you.
