How to fix Neck Hump and Flabby Bat Wings (Challenge)

[@BobandBrad]

"Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob."

[@Pugangelx3]

I have transverse myelitis in my lower spinal cord and 5 lesions in my left frontal brain lobe. My neurologist explained to me and my husband that they are located in the part of the brain that controls speech and swallowing. When I get upset with my daughter, feel rushed, panicky, or overly excited the signal my brain sends for me to say what I want to say has trouble getting through the lesions and I lose my ability to speak correctly. I also have trouble remembering/recalling words I wanted to say…they just leave me or I can’t get it out…or it comes out wrong or backwards, etc… I’ve noticed with my 12 year old daughter when she’s really challenging me and I get upset that when I can’t get my words out correctly she sometimes makes fun of me. That causes a reaction that only curse words are able to come up. Like having Tourette’s syndrome. It’s so very frustrating and I’m currently waiting for an appointment with a speech therapist to help with my issue. All that being said, you never know what’s going on with a person so never judge…just straight up ask that person instead of assuming things. MS runs in my family so my neurologist follows me closely with contrast MRI’s and other studies that I won’t get into but I just wanted to say I hope you get better and don’t let it stress you out!!

I remember being a little girl & my great-grandmother had bat wings, my grandmother had bat wings, then my mother who had lost a lot of weight years ago, & has kept it off all of this time has the bat wings. Now that I'm a grandmother myself, I have some awful bat wings as well. I also have that neck hump. I'm going to try these things that you showed us on the video. Tyvm!! It's hard work being part bat! 😉😬😂😄👍 My question is: Would it help the hump neck issue if I sleep without a pillow? I feel like the pillow is bad for the neck & reinforces the hump neck position. Tyvm for sharing this information. 👍✌😊🎾➰

[@shadowkissed2370]

A little heads up, sometimes the neck hump is not because you are out of shape. I had one for years and my doctors kept telling me it was just my body and that is how my body is. Then I fell and they found a majorly slipped disk in my neck. When they operated to fix the disk they found out it had been damaged for so long it was calcified and had been cutting into my spinal cord. My neurosurgeon said I had to have damaged my C-spine a very long time ago for it to be calcified and I had to have been in a major car accident for the extensive damage to have happened. I know I had never been in a car accident but I was abused as a child and in my young adult years during my first marriage. After surgery, the neck hump went away and it has not been back since. SO please be careful if you have a neck hump. It could be something more than you think it is.

I want to tell you I was suffering from some kind of neck pain for more than a year. It would get so bad most days it would feel like someone was choking me. I did your tennis ball therapy and I knew the first time it was a game changer. Within 3 days of rolling that ball down my neck to my shoulder blade while on the floor... my pain is gone!! A whole year of suffering... and three days it's gone. GONE! I still do my neck stretching exercises and I do the tennis ball about once every 10 days or so or when I'm stressed and feel that pain coming back. Thank You beyond words.!!!

@Marlene Brown there are exercises you can do to tone the throat/ neck muscles. Poke out the tongue as far as possible , and then curl up the tongue as if trying to touch the nose tip. If you put your thumbs under the chin you should feel the muscles contract. Repeat. Do daily. Google it for more information.

It is important to sleep with the least amount of pillow that you can. Also I make it a habit (a strange habit) at the end of each day to lie on my back on the carpet without a pillow and put my legs up on a chair (like an astronaut position). I set the timer or count slowly to 250 -300. I completely relax into the floor and can feel the spine slowly flattening and becoming straight again. Get up slowly if you have never done this before. Gravity is a great straight spine persuader if you are persistent. It may take a while before you stop feeling the hard spots in your spine against the carpet.

I sleep with -- what I call -- my Pancake Pillow because it's as thin as a pancake and sometimes not at all. It hurts to have my neck strained forward due to a pillow when sleeping on my back.

Dr. Bob my heart aches for you. I'm so sorry people have asked if you have been drinking. People could been more sensitive and if they felt they needed an explanation for your behavior (which they dont) it should've been done in good taste. An easy way is to say I noticed you have a slur is something going on? Not assume you would be drunk while making content to put out for any and all to see. It's not easy to put yourself out here already but to read the negative and unnecessary comments must be hard. We are monsters and I don't think it will change.

I also try to get in 10,000 steps a day I have a small mini trampoline and I jump on it at night instead of jumping off the couch and running to the fridge! Anyway exercise has kept me toned but I do have the bat wings and getting older I am starting to slump forward and it bothers me because my posture is so poor. I am definitely going to adapt these exercises into my daily routine. I have subscribed and I will enjoy going back and looking at old videos and looking forward to the new ones too. Thank you again

Congrats, Pat. I've lost 160 lbs down to 209 over the last 17 years. I was tested for diabetes and had it. I did use the low-carb (Adkins diet in those days). Things got complicated 15 years ago when my husband came down with Stage 4 colon cancer. I worked at FSU with grad students and had access to medical journals and Steve lived for 10 years until we ran into a new chemotherapy that landed him in the hospital not once but twice. I lost him late that year. I lost more weight due to sorrow, and then I got covid in May 2020. The county had just opened the drive-thru testing and I wanted to know what it was like. Tuesday after Memorial Day they called me and said I was positive for covid. Got the people I had been with the info and they all tested negative. Over 3 weeks I tested negative twice but through it all I was asymptomatic. In Nov, my teeth started breaking off mostly molars but 1 bottom front tooth. No blood, no pain, except the broken pieces of remaining teeth. In January, NPR ran a piece with a doctor and dentist that were working with a young teenage boy who had the same problem I did. The doctors both agreed the blood-rich jaws are an excellent place for covid to attack. After about 6 months with no nutrition or support from the body both the nerves are damaged (no sensation) and the teeth are so brittle they break. After that, I was eating soft stir-fries, soups, some pasta and lost 70 more pounds since then. I have lots of loose skin AND the horrible batwings which prevent me from wearing blouses with sleeves unless it's t-shirt material. I'm interested in seeing what you suggest. I do have some arthritis in the neck/upper shoulder of the spine and I'm going to try your method of stretching the spine. It will be on the bed but I'll lay down a section of plywood for firmness. Had both of my knees replaced and they do not like being on the floor.
