The Connection Between Your Wallet and Back Pain

When a friend kept complaining about back pain, I encouraged him to go to his doctor. He had pain down his leg after sitting for three to four hours. After an exam and x-rays, nothing serious was identified, but his pain did not go away. Then one morning, his wife noticed his wallet bulging from the back of his pants. Once he stopped sitting on his wallet at work, he was pain free.

According to a Doctor at a Diamond Certified company, sitting on a big wallet raises one side of the pelvis. This can lead to an abnormal curve in the spine. The stress on muscles, ligaments and nerves may cause stiffness and pain. To avoid the problem, don't keep anything bulky in your back pocket, especially if you're sitting all day at work.
