Comment on Is laying on your stomach every once in a while good for you?
TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 15 hours agoIf I’m laying for more than an hour I’ll usually spend some time on my sides when my shoulders and elbows get sore. I would know if I had bulging disks right?

Not necessarily. Spinal disks can bulge to different degrees. It can be a temporary thing, like you’ve been bent over a computer all day, or a major thing like you fell 8 feet on to concrete. The later would probably result in a herniated disk which would likely lead to severe pain. The former can be fixed with light stretching.

Ooook, ya I definitely have some shrimpy posture throughout the day which is what originally led me to try to shrimp the other way to balance things out
