ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Are you suffering from Fat Wallet Syndrome?
Dr. Wayne M. Fichter Jr.
Men do not carry purses to keep the money or credit cards, so they keep their wallet in their back pocket which over time commonly gives rise to a condition called “Fat Wallet Syndrome.” Most men don’t even think about something so simple could be causing harm to their body, but indeed they can be causing a variety of symptoms including low back pain, hip pain, and knee pain. This can lead to compression of the sciatic nerve and compromise the piriformis muscle.
When people sit with a wallet in their back pocket, this causes your pelvis to tilt to one side, which puts extra stress on your spine. The thicker your wallet the more stress you put on your low back and pelvis. This causes abnormal stress on your low back, intervertebral disc, nerve roots and low back muscles. “Fat Wallet Syndrome,” is better known as piriformis syndrome.
