Dear Erik, please go to an actual orthopedist. They will do X-rays and physical exams to make sure you didn’t actually hurt yourself badly. I hurt myself after my new dog came home, having to carry him around, so YES, babies can easily do the same thing. A *good* chiropractor *should* do X-rays (or look at ones you have) to make sure you aren’t actually injured before they crack you.
They likely will recommend Physical Therapy following, PT has many avenues that include alot of techniques that can help!! But get some imaging to find out whats going on in there!
Or just an actual md... I mean, it’s hard to imagine that a back injury has now gotten you motivated to see a chiropractor of unknown origin and Emu oil of all things
@@snake.puppet as someone who has dealt with Piriformis Syndrome for about 15 years, I can definitely agree with this! For so many years I was going to doctors and all they would give me is a prescription to stronger naproxen. Finally, I went to an orthopedist and he ordered MRIs and CT scans and then diagnosed me with piriformis syndrome. Also ordered like 2 months of PT and it all helped
Colleen, physical therapist here! Your thumb pain is sounding like “mommy’s thumb”, or de quervain’s tenosynovitis. Basically inflammation of the muscles and tendons at the base of your thumb from holding and feeding babies. Definitely mention this to your doctor, there are many types of treatment for it!
@@debbie6335 thank you for bringing this up. I just did some additional research. There is still so much we do not understand about CBD, so the FDA does not recommend the use of CBD in pregnant or breast feeding individuals. I will edit my original comment.
I have been struggling with this exact pain. Finally got a cortisone injection after icing and wearing a brace for several months. Alleviated pain for a couple months, pain returned a few weeks ago after throwing a baseball with my kid. ☹️
i love when you guys go “we’ll put the picture in right here” and then there’s just no picture. this happens probably every other episode or so and it’s really a toss up if the picture is going to be there. it honestly makes me laugh every time 😂
@@Kaykay04822 Colleen never acted like her pain matter more than his or that his didn't matter at all. She was meaning that he was over exaggerating. Colleen knows that he's in a terrible amount of pain.
Fun fact: there are nerves that connect the ear to the throat so it totally makes sense that if you have a scratchy throat you would scratch your ears. Sometimes, a twinge inside your ear will make one cough.
Kory should be on your podcast soon...I would love to know how Kory & Erik get long, how Erik feels about Kory being around all the time, ect....We want the tea🥰
@@Kaykay04822 hate is a strong word. & i don't think that is true. kory wouldn't be in their home if they didn't like each other that much. just bc they're not buddy buddy on camera doesn't mean they "hate" each other. do adults even hate one another? i thought we stopped saying hate at age 14.
@@Kaykay04822 first of all there has been old vids of them in Hawaii having a great time they where dancing together, watching shows together etc… also I don’t think he would be living in there house if Erik hated him
The fact that Colleen has to say “he doesn’t mean that” during these podcasts actually makes me laugh so hard out loud! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 holy shit! At least once an episode lately. Oh man I love y’all! Erik is such a savage and I love it!
She always over explains herself in her videos too. She like explains it like only first time viewers are watching every single time. I think she's really considerate of others combined with a little bit of fear of being cancelled x)
Reminds me when my husband compared my 2 c sections to his hernia surgery. His incision was smaller then a dime, and the tear he had was even smaller. And I had to lift him out of bed for 2 weeks...
Re Erik’s relax: I think he is feeling being pregnant. Colleen has been working out her back muscles for the last year! Makes sense. It’s probably the babies.
Erik don’t go to a chiropractor for lower back again Go to a physical therapist who will spend an hour with you with some muscle manipulations and exercises to strengthen your back. Also it could be psychosomatic caused by babies and no sleep stress which comes out in the form of back pain.
THIS HAS TO HAVE BEEN THE BEST EPISODE THUS FAR! the fact that they are just cracking up at each other have me DYING LAUGHING plus the tangent fire was PHENOMENAL OMG 110/10.
Agreed. My husband was having back pain and went to a chiropractor. It made it sooo much more worse and inflamed. He ended up needing steroid injections in his spinal area.
Please be cautious about going to a chiropractor with back issues. I blew a disc when I was 18 when picking up my baby from her crib and the chiropractor made it worse. I went 8 years with excruciating back and leg pain along with drop foot but was told for 8 years "you're too young for back problems" until I lost all reflexes in my leg then they ordered an MRI and then I had surgery. I am now 45 and have underwent over 7 lumbar surgeries including fusions, both SI joints fused and I have my 6th cervical surgery in 2 weeks. So please see an Ortho or Neurologist and get imaging done because the faster they can treat you the better off you'll be in the long run. Good luck Erik!
I’m going to have to agree with Erik on this baby back thing. Although I did birth my baby, and there might be some correlation to that, I also had a lot of back issues due to poor posture when nursing and carrying my baby the first 6-8 months.
I’m sure u won’t see this Erik or Colleen but the daily hemp CBd lotion (black container) is by far the best CBd and it’s not expensive , I’ve tried so many n spent so much money and this is the only one I’ve found that helps my hip bursitis
@@carolmegrail2688 His pain sounds a lot like a bulging disc that's hitting a nerve in his back. probably mid-shoulder blade level if he's not able to look down. I would (as someone who had a tonne of back pain that resulted in spinal surgery) recommend trying anti-inflammatories/muscle relaxants and rest to start. If he's not getting relief from that, going to a physio clinic that also has RMT's for back-to-back therapies. Then, if the extreme pain isn't gone within 6-8 weeks, requesting an MRI from a doctor. Most back pain will fix itself within 6-8 weeks without intervention (like surgery). Chiropractors made my back MUCH worse any time I tried to visit them.
Colleen: *talking about how Eric is in a lot of pain, acting like it's something he might not want to talk about* Me: Oh, he got the ol' snip-snip. Eric: "Yeah, my ba--" Me: Wow, he's really just going to say it Eric: "--back hurts" Me: .........oh. Well, I was way off on that one.
Watching Relax is my favorite part of every week! Lost my sweet puppy girl this week due to an illness and this is giving me a reason to smile and laugh. Thanks Colleen & Erik ❤️
Colleen the thumb is related to the babies too! It’s called “‘mommy hand”. My doctor told me about it. She said it’s comparable to a sprain or carpal tunnel. It’s from picking up babies and the way you scoop under their arms when you pick them up. I had to AWFUL with my first born.
Yes! I was thinking this during the entire episode. It's called De Quervain's tenosynovitis. I had it in both thumbs/wrists after having my first baby. It was so painful. I think they say it is worse when you are breastfeeding for some reason. It lasted for months!
Every time I watch another podcast I think, this is the best one yet! I laughed so hard! And every time I walk barefoot on my cold bathroom floor with no rug it reminds me of Colleen and Erik.
ERIC! I have fought with back issues and muscle spasms in my lower back. I found that the very best thing to use when my back is on fire is over the counter lidocaine patches! They have changed my life because once the patches kick in I can actually go about my life instead of being forced to stay in bed praying that I won’t need to sneeze and cause the most intense pain in my life! I hope you see this and give it a try! It won’t cure your back pain but it will give you enough relief to go about your daily life and to continue being the rockstar dad you’ve always been! My daughter swears by her tens unit and that might help you out as well!
as someone with chronic back pain i recommended a foam roller just for daily alignment help (your back will crack but it uses your own body weight so it’s less intense) and some sort of THC/CBD topicals and massage it! it is one of the biggest things that have helped my chronic pain
This is so true i have EDS and chronic pain in bout to break out a roller! trick if u don’t have a foam roller from someone who worked in a physical therapy office! Take lacrosse or tennis balls put them in a pillowcase and throw it over your shoulder so the ball is on your back, then lean against a wall, the farther away you stand and lean the harder it will massage!
Erik and my boyfriend are the same age, and they both have the type of voice where you can't really tell if they're joking or serious, especially to people that don't know them. My boyfriend always makes that same type of dry joke to strangers and I'm constantly saying "you can't do that! they won't get it!" and I'm also like Colleen just standing by awkwardly. ah that part of the podcast made my day hahaha
I recommend ice and heat. It could be as simple as a pulled muscle or more complex like a herniated disk. I think chiropractors have their merit but am always a little hesitant when a doctor starts treatment before determining the cause with either an X-ray or an MRI.
I'm glad I'm not the only one whose eye twitched when listening 😅 Erik actually said it correctly at one point but then quickly (incorrectly) corrected himself.
I'm pretty sure most of us in America pronounce it that way too. But I definitely started second guessing myself after hearing them say "eemoo" so many times lol
Oh my gosh I’ve never once thought about it before but I grew up in California and I was taught to call an emu an ee-moo. Have I been saying it wrong my whole life?!😳 Is that not how everyone else in the world pronounces it? I’m shook!
Erik you have to use it in ‘memory’ of the Emu. Feel better. You probably can’t get into bath but epson salt baths, creams with magnesium, heat pads all help. If you didn’t like chiro you can try physiotherapy or acupuncture.
I 100% thought when Erik said he was in pain and started hobbling around and Colleen asked if it was too soon to discuss that Erik had had a vasectomy.
This is my favorite episode by far, I was laughing out loud through the whole thing. I don’t have kids yet still find this podcast so relatable. I watch all of colleens vlogs and I know how exhausted you both are, and it shows in the podcasts in the best way and it’s a true testament to your relationship. I feel like every week one of you says “I had this thing I wanted to talk about on the podcast but I don’t remember....” and you both just continue on with your “exhausted to the point we’re delusional” banter and the podcast is the best it’s ever been! Ps not to say I don’t want you two to get some help/rest soon and I want you to continue to suffer for my selfish benefit Hahahaha. But just saying these episodes have been the absolute best
THIS WAS MY FAVORITE EPISODE YET. I DIED at the cat story and basically the whole last 30 minutes. Just finished the audio on Apple Podcasts but had to come here to see if colleen found the picture of her and Kory at a freaking hookah bar 🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️
PAIN SUGGESTION: Somethings that have helped with my chronic pain are Salonpas patches and Biofreeze gel. They are kind of like Icyhot but they are both cooling.
Eric doesnt need to see a chiropractor for his back pain, he should see a MASSAGE THERAPIST. As someone with chronic back pain I guarantee it will help
I’m pretty sure chiropractic medicine is a pseudoscience, which only provides temporary relief to people when they here those dramatic sounds 😂 But please tell Erik to see a physiotherapist! They are way more helpful and will actually explain the cause of the pain and give you effective treatment.
I agree with this. I went to a chiropractor for my lower back pain after injuring it at the gym and the pain came back. I am now at a physiotherapist and it's effective in preventing re-injury.
This is truly my comfort podcast. I have the same exact humor as Erik and just watching the banter makes me literally just laugh out loud I can listen to you guys for hours 😂❤️
Erik please make a song for the next podcast with the title: "I Hurt my Back Being Disgusted by You" I laughed for hours after that OMG!!! Hilarious when you said that after Colleen cracked her knuckles!
May I just say, I love your podcast and loved it since day 1. I usually listen to it to fall asleep or on my way to work and it brings a huge smile on my face everytime 😍 So glad you are doing it 🙏 Thank you
The thumb pain is due to holding the babies' heads while bottle feeing them and I think other movements that you do in order to hold them (for their comfort) with your hands. I don't know if it applies to only one baby or it's just when you do it twice everyday, but I had it too with my twins.
CBD is life changing!!! the CBD tincture Erik got will help with SO much, honestly Colleen would benefit from using it as well for her anxiety, depression, ADHD and so much more. You will not get high, but your entire body and mind will feel relaxed and calm. Always go to a dispensary for CBD products to make sure you are getting pure CBD and nothing chemically altered or diluted. Hope it helps for your back and anxiety Erik!!
@@sophicarne oh I know! I just meant in general, she's talked about eventually having to switch to formula for the twins. obviously don't take the CBD tincture if you are breastfeeding. I wasn't saying she should use it immediately, I just meant that she should look into it more once she is able to take it.
I take psych meds for depression and anxiety and I read they use the same receptor sites as the CBD so I chose not to take CBD drops because I am doing well on my meds. I do use CBD balm for back pain. It's certainly a choice to try CBD. Every time I buy my balm they offer me the tincture too.
my mom uses cbd lotion for her back pain and it works BUT it has to be used consistently over time. the effects build up it’s not an immediate thing :)
Also, I have never and will never go to a chiropractor and it has never been recommended to me by any other health professional. But if it work for you, you do you.
My mum always taught me to bite my baby's nails. One of my favourite pieces of mum wisdom passed down. If you nibble the babies nails you can feel where it needs a trim with your mouth as your mouth is sensitive enough to feel where the nail and skin are. It's much much less stressful x
@@alyssahamlett Babies hands are as clean as anything they have touched (which when they are very small isn't much). I definitely preferred it over the worry of snipping too much.
@@champagneNOTcheese baby hands are clean, but our mouths are not. It's not recommended to bite baby nails bc he could cause an infection for the baby, if you break their skin.
I haven’t laughed this much in so long😂😂 I love how I have so many uni assignments to do, but I will religiously listen to every one of your podcast and vlogs
I’ve had low back pain for a while & was skeptical of the chiropractor. Decided to give it a shot, & it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. No more back pain.
I’m a mechanic and I’ve been struggling with lower back problems and sciatic nerve pain since I was a teenager. I’ve tried chiropractors but I would feel better for about a week and have to go back. I finally just tried doing stretches.. I know that it sounds silly especially when you are in pain. But I just looked up good stretches for lower back/sciatic nerve pain and I have been doing them a couple times a week. And I have had zero back pain since. And then I will go to a good message therapist once a month. This combo has done great things for me.
Colleen's thumb pain might be baby related! I had it for 6 months. Dr. Google calls it Mother's Thumb/Texting Thumb or De Quervain's. I learned about "nerve flossing" exercises from a physical therapist that fixed it!
Dear Erik, please go to an actual orthopedist. They will do X-rays and physical exams to make sure you didn’t actually hurt yourself badly. I hurt myself after my new dog came home, having to carry him around, so YES, babies can easily do the same thing.

This is so true i have EDS and chronic pain in bout to break out a roller! trick if u don’t have a foam roller from someone who worked in a physical therapy office! Take lacrosse or tennis balls put them in a pillowcase and throw it over your shoulder so the ball is on your back, then lean against a wall, the farther away you stand and lean the harder it will massage!
I've had chronic migraines for over 16 years and I swear CBD/THC had been an absolute game changer. Life changing!
Erik and my boyfriend are the same age, and they both have the type of voice where you can't really tell if they're joking or serious, especially to people that don't know them. My boyfriend always makes that same type of dry joke to strangers and I'm constantly saying "you can't do that! they won't get it!" and I'm also like Colleen just standing by awkwardly. ah that part of the podcast made my day hahaha
I recommend ice and heat. It could be as simple as a pulled muscle or more complex like a herniated disk. I think chiropractors have their merit but am always a little hesitant when a doctor starts treatment before determining the cause with either an X-ray or an MRI.

The way they’re pronouncing emu is killing me. In Australia we pronounce them “eem-yew” not “eemoo”
We pronounce it like eh-moe in the netherlands 😜
I'm glad I'm not the only one whose eye twitched when listening 😅 Erik actually said it correctly at one point but then quickly (incorrectly) corrected himself.
I'm pretty sure most of us in America pronounce it that way too. But I definitely started second guessing myself after hearing them say "eemoo" so many times lol
Oh my gosh I’ve never once thought about it before but I grew up in California and I was taught to call an emu an ee-moo. Have I been saying it wrong my whole life?!😳 Is that not how everyone else in the world pronounces it? I’m shook!
@@amandat.6163 eem-you 😊
Erik you have to use it in ‘memory’ of the Emu. Feel better. You probably can’t get into bath but epson salt baths, creams with magnesium, heat pads all help. If you didn’t like chiro you can try physiotherapy or acupuncture.
I 100% thought when Erik said he was in pain and started hobbling around and Colleen asked if it was too soon to discuss that Erik had had a vasectomy.
Colleen being so nervous about the CBD being a drug is so funny for no reason 😭
This is my favorite episode by far, I was laughing out loud through the whole thing.
I don’t have kids yet still find this podcast so relatable. I watch all of colleens vlogs and I know how exhausted you both are, and it shows in the podcasts in the best way and it’s a true testament to your relationship. I feel like every week one of you says “I had this thing I wanted to talk about on the podcast but I don’t remember....” and you both just continue on with your “exhausted to the point we’re delusional” banter and the podcast is the best it’s ever been! Ps not to say I don’t want you two to get some help/rest soon and I want you to continue to suffer for my selfish benefit Hahahaha. But just saying these episodes have been the absolute best
LITERALLY the funniest podcast yet! I was physically laughing with you guys!
This podcast is getting more and more chaotic every episode and I am LIVING for it. Love you guys sooooooo much!
THIS WAS MY FAVORITE EPISODE YET. I DIED at the cat story and basically the whole last 30 minutes. Just finished the audio on Apple Podcasts but had to come here to see if colleen found the picture of her and Kory at a freaking hookah bar 🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️
PAIN SUGGESTION:
Somethings that have helped with my chronic pain are Salonpas patches and Biofreeze gel. They are kind of like Icyhot but they are both cooling.
Salonpas is great
Eric doesnt need to see a chiropractor for his back pain, he should see a MASSAGE THERAPIST. As someone with chronic back pain I guarantee it will help
Yep, chiropractors scare me too and that story is yikes! Deep tissue massage and he will feel better even if it takes a few sessions
Or a D O C T O R who can first establish he hasn’t injured himself seriously FIRST
Massage therapists can also make it worse. It’s happened to me and I couldn’t get out of the massage bed or walk.
Colleen: he have to rescue daddy, he's with the twins, they're crying
Flynn: let's not rescue daddy
I died 🤣
I just started listening to the podcasts and they’re helped so much when I’m tidying my room and doing college assignments, thank you guys for that
same it is the only way i can get boring stuff done #adhd
same !!
YES! I TOTALLY RELATE TO THE THROAT EAR THING!! Finally someone who understands! 😂 My husband always laughs at me!
I just left the exact same comment!!! And I also said about my boyfriend's laughing :) Why is that even a thing?
I’m pretty sure chiropractic medicine is a pseudoscience, which only provides temporary relief to people when they here those dramatic sounds 😂 But please tell Erik to see a physiotherapist! They are way more helpful and will actually explain the cause of the pain and give you effective treatment.
I agree with this. I went to a chiropractor for my lower back pain after injuring it at the gym and the pain came back. I am now at a physiotherapist and it's effective in preventing re-injury.
This is truly my comfort podcast. I have the same exact humor as Erik and just watching the banter makes me literally just laugh out loud I can listen to you guys for hours 😂❤️
Erik please make a song for the next podcast with the title: "I Hurt my Back Being Disgusted by You" I laughed for hours after that OMG!!! Hilarious when you said that after Colleen cracked her knuckles!
It’s so funny to me that you two (as Americans) are saying “emoo” when in New Zealand we say “emyou” it’s so funny the way you guys say it.
Went searching for this comment. It's so delightful 😊
I live in Canada and grew up saying ee-mew, and it feels like in the last few years everyone switched to ee-moo and I don't understand it 🤣
Yeah, i am from Australia and i was very suprised to hear them say "emoo" you learn something new every dayyy~
Jenna marbles did acrylic toenails.
I would love to see Miranda try it!
Jenna Marbles did the acrylic long nails on her toes a few years ago.
"IT TRIED TO ATTACK FLYNN" purchase justified 😂
May I just say, I love your podcast and loved it since day 1. I usually listen to it to fall asleep or on my way to work and it brings a huge smile on my face everytime 😍 So glad you are doing it 🙏 Thank you
The thumb pain is due to holding the babies' heads while bottle feeing them and I think other movements that you do in order to hold them (for their comfort) with your hands. I don't know if it applies to only one baby or it's just when you do it twice everyday, but I had it too with my twins.
Literally Erik explains the whole first 20 minutes that CBD doesn't get you high. Colleen "are we going to get high"??? Smh!!
CBD is life changing!!! the CBD tincture Erik got will help with SO much, honestly Colleen would benefit from using it as well for her anxiety, depression, ADHD and so much more. You will not get high, but your entire body and mind will feel relaxed and calm. Always go to a dispensary for CBD products to make sure you are getting pure CBD and nothing chemically altered or diluted. Hope it helps for your back and anxiety Erik!!
There's usually a warning not to use if breastfeeding.
@@sophicarne oh I know! I just meant in general, she's talked about eventually having to switch to formula for the twins. obviously don't take the CBD tincture if you are breastfeeding. I wasn't saying she should use it immediately, I just meant that she should look into it more once she is able to take it.
Esp would help with her sleep
I take psych meds for depression and anxiety and I read they use the same receptor sites as the CBD so I chose not to take CBD drops because I am doing well on my meds. I do use CBD balm for back pain. It's certainly a choice to try CBD. Every time I buy my balm they offer me the tincture too.
Please I need you guys to do this podcast forever, I love it so much!!! You always make me laugh so hard 😂
my mom uses cbd lotion for her back pain and it works BUT it has to be used consistently over time. the effects build up it’s not an immediate thing :)

Lmaooo I just rewatched the Jenna Marbles acrylic toenail video last night. Funnyyy
Instantly Erik’s energy is a yes for me.
Back pain is absolutely debilitating. Mine broke in my early 20s and I've had 4 surgeries by the time I was 30. It's horrible. I feel for Erik.
Also, I have never and will never go to a chiropractor and it has never been recommended to me by any other health professional. But if it work for you, you do you.
You’ve GOT to get a baby electric nail file. Game changer and easy, no risk of hurting them!
Which one do you suggest? My second is due in April and I’d like to try one out
Do you have a recommendation?
The Haakaa from Amazon works great. Also, the Frida baby clippers with the little window cut out helps immensely.
@@bethanylivesfree thank you 😊
100% know how Colleen feels with the scratchy throat/ear correlation
I feel ur pain Eric but I had to laugh at “he then proceeded to electrocute me” 😂😂
When Colleen said "itch your throat thru your ear" I immediately said "yeah! I have' yeah!"
My mum always taught me to bite my baby's nails. One of my favourite pieces of mum wisdom passed down. If you nibble the babies nails you can feel where it needs a trim with your mouth as your mouth is sensitive enough to feel where the nail and skin are. It's much much less stressful x
Eww lol not judging u or ur mom I just don't think I could do that
@@alyssahamlett Babies hands are as clean as anything they have touched (which when they are very small isn't much). I definitely preferred it over the worry of snipping too much.
@@alyssahamlett same and I have 2 kids. I prefer to cut their nails lol
Yup! I’ve heard of a lot of people doing it this way. Especially older generations!
@@champagneNOTcheese baby hands are clean, but our mouths are not. It's not recommended to bite baby nails bc he could cause an infection for the baby, if you break their skin.
The way I laughed when Eric pretty much said “f them Emu’s” I’m crying real tears 😂😭
Yup I had horrible back issues while my daughter was an infant and toddler.
Baby nails I did while she was asleep.
Erik was like ready to cry over dead emus, then asked "what's an emu?" 🤣
This convo just killed me: 52:06
Weird lady offering some vets number:
Eric: "Oh, but we want our cats to die..."
Colleen: "Thanks💅"
LMAO
I haven’t laughed this much in so long😂😂 I love how I have so many uni assignments to do, but I will religiously listen to every one of your podcast and vlogs
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS! My day is made :)
Love this episode, but I love every episode. Thanks for entertaining me!!
If Erik's looking for anything else to try for his back, Sombra Warm Therapy relieving gel is really great! And not as expensive as cbd oils/lotions.
I’ve had low back pain for a while & was skeptical of the chiropractor. Decided to give it a shot, & it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. No more back pain.
Erik: my back is in so much pain that i spilled stuff on myself and can’t get out of bed
Colleen: i scratch my throat through my ears lol
Erik:😶
I’m a mechanic and I’ve been struggling with lower back problems and sciatic nerve pain since I was a teenager. I’ve tried chiropractors but I would feel better for about a week and have to go back. I finally just tried doing stretches.. I know that it sounds silly especially when you are in pain. But I just looked up good stretches for lower back/sciatic nerve pain and I have been doing them a couple times a week. And I have had zero back pain since. And then I will go to a good message therapist once a month. This combo has done great things for me.
Colleen's thumb pain might be baby related! I had it for 6 months. Dr. Google calls it Mother's Thumb/Texting Thumb or De Quervain's. I learned about "nerve flossing" exercises from a physical therapist that fixed it!
Cry laughing at tangent fire trash can conversation 🤣😂🗑️ so hilarious! Love you both!
