Thank you. I run 3x/week and lift weights 2x/week. Can't say its been helping, but maybe I need to work out even more. I'll definitely look into the B Complex. Out of curiosity, what does the chiropractor do during your session? I have my first appointment in a few weeks.
I code a lot, often in focus for 4-6 hours at a time, and that causes back strain between my shoulder blades, an area a past chiropractor called the "mouse muscle" because it is the single muscle near the spine that holds the weight of your arm when manipulating a mouse and keyboard. Plus, due to neck strain from staring at screens, I typically need a neck adjustment to relieve base of neck stiffness.
Also, when you work out, do you protect your wrists? I make sure to use barbells with angle grips or vertical grips so my wrists are not bearing the weight; If to lift a weight my wrists are vertical, and not horizontal, the strain of the weight is bared by wrist bones and not tendons and muscles.
I also take a Lysine+b6 supplement, which seems to help recovery from strenuous workouts where the muscles may have been over stressed. Lysine is a protein used my connective tissue, like skin, cartilage, and tendons. I have no idea if the supplement is realistically a good idea, but it seems to help my recoveries. It's also related to stress management, and I manage a lot of stress.
I wish I had a glorious comeback story about how I got fired and then got a job at Google making $500k/year and completely disrupted the tech industry with my insane coding ability and work ethic. In reality at first I was happy that my suffering at the previous job was over, but later on it crushed my confidence and caused me to be very depressed for a very long time. I took a massive pay cut because I was desperate for any dev job but couldn't clear any of the interviews with companies that paid a decent salary. I still dread getting fired (again) every single day at work, even if there's no indication that I'm doing a bad job. I'd like to believe one day I'll fix my mental problems and come back here to write that glorious comeback story.
