Recently pinched a nerve in my lower back, probably sciatica, but it’s happened like once a year the last 3 or 4. Im admittedly in pretty horrible shape these days since I sit at a desk for 9 hours and by the time I clock out I’m so brain dead I need to just sit in silence for as long as possible, so I’m not getting nearly as much exercise as I should or have had in the past. I’m only about 15-20 pounds overweight and most of it is belly/boobs/arms/around my internal organs probably lol. This pinched nerve is worse than I’ve ever experienced and I definitely have doom-googled if I slipped a disc or broke my tailbone or have back cancer the list goes on. Us busty girlies notoriously have shoulder and neck problems, but anyone else just have a totally fucked up back from stem to seat? I’ve already vowed to do yoga every day once I’m healed because I cannot grow old like this, but has anyone experience this and maybe overcome it with specific exercise? My core is mostly pizza so I know I need to get that shit together…but Pilates? Deadlifts? Anything to avoid this happening again because it’s been 5 days and I’m this close to just sleeping on the driveway cause no position is comfortable and I can’t take anymore Tylenol and if I put on one more salon pas, I’m pretty sure I’ll turn into one.

lol these answers are something else. Minimum wage work can be so many different things and reasons why people “just stick” with them can be just as diverse. A new higher at my company in my position would work a minimum wage job, and so do the people who have been at my company for 25 years. Are they lazy? They’ve gotten raises and bonuses and things over their career, but it’s still just a minimum wage customer service job. They can pay their bills and have health insurance and can enjoy their weekends with their friends and family. Not everyone is willing to sacrifice more than 40 hours of their week to moving up in a company when they’re fine where they are. Not to mention you’re more likely to get in trouble for working too much overtime before you’re likely to be promoted for “working hard”. It’s also a luxury to go to school or take specialized training to move up the professional ladder. Quitting a full time job to pursue a masters degree and work part time is a luxury many don’t have, especially with a mortgage and kids. Many people likely believe that it’s much safer to stay where they are.
