  • OP, it sounds like a herniated disc to me. Especially when you said “put on socks” (it’s worse in the morning, and forward bends are bad?)

    When things get bad (or anytime), go lie on your stomach, and if you can, push yourself up into “cobra” pose. If that helps, you almost certainly have a herniated disc. And that pose kind of un-herniates it.

    You need an mri to officially diagnose it. Might find one for under $300.

    Learn Stuart McGill’s big three, the McKenzie press up (mentioned above), take more walks, and maybe get an inversion machine.






  • But… right-side-up, the plane fights gravity, has upward lift, according to Bernoulli principle. And even if we angle the flaps to decrease altitude, it’s still not dropping like a rock, the wings still generate lots of upward lift.

    400 ton plane, wings w 400 ton lift = flight

    Now (before engaging flaps) those same wings upside down would be generating downward “lift” PLUS pull of gravity. So now the 400 ton plane is like an 800 ton plane. Can the flaps alone lift that? Or, said another way, if we gave the plane flat wings, no Bernoulli, and stacked another plane on top of it (to make 800 tons), could it fly right-side-up just using flaps?
