What is your most common ailment?
Let’s talk first world problems. I occasionally suffer from low back pain. I’m not talking about some chronic musculoskeletal low back agony that eventually leads to an opioid addiction. It’s more like a week or two of inconvenience that gives me a peek into what later decades of life might be like. Experience has proven that glute tightness is the major culprit. The pain occurs when I don’t foam roll (which usually comes out of my mouth as “ab roll”) for an extended period, or when I start a fitness regimen too earnestly after a hiatus. I struggle to even lie supine on the floor to commence a 10-minute ab foam rolling session. Soon my ass is as loose as [insert your own NC-17 simile] and can get up faster than a Shohei Ohtani pop-up slide into second—like nothing was ever wrong! Five minutes later, though, everything’s tighter than [insert the PG version of what you thought earlier]. My wife pushes ibuprofen, but I resist longer than I should. Despite being a pharmacist, I’m staunchly anti-medication. No need to visit a healthcare provider, though; just need to get my ass on the floor.
