I was always the healthy person because i choose my diet well and I work a lot so I have exercise everyday. But recently I had a feeling something's wrong with me. I felt pain at my back that wasn't usually there and I feel tired easier these days. I think it is the effect of growing old. I don't want to go to the doctor because I'm afraid to know the truth. I used to go to the doctor during my younger days but now I fear the doctor. Are you also a person who is afraid to see the doctor? Share your views over this matter.

hi masmasika, Maybe, you just have to do some relaxation once in a while after long hours of sitting. I feel same way also and worse, the pain in my back is something I cannot handle. I have nothing else to do but go to doctor for consultation. And from that, I found out that I have a dextroscoliosis. . I feel so sad when the doctor said they cannot return my back to its normal form again. I have a sideward curvature on the back. Right now, I do exercises regulary. The physical therapist told me that I must exercise everyday to keep my body flexible and for me not to fee much the pain. I also drink plenty of milk and start to become aware of my posture. It is because bad posture can worsen my dextroscoliosis. I not want to undergo a surgery so I am being careful now in everything I do. My family is no longer allowing me to do household chores that will require me to deal with heavy things. The doctor and physical therapist told me not to carry heavy stuffs as it is not good for my bad. I feel somehow ok now because I am doing exercise regularly. I think there is nothing wrong consulting a doctor for a check up especially if you feel that the pain is always there.

Before I used to think that I'm healthy but I'm not because I've been diagnosed with an illness. Healthy lifestyle and exercise makes us healthy.

That's good. At least you are doing something to keep healthy. Eating the right kind of food at the right time is good.
