Whats up guys. Not sure if anyone here can give me some help with this but here 'goes.
About a year and a half ago I fell off a three story roof and landed on my back, breaking all the ribs on my left side, collapsing my left lung, and fracturing 6 vertebrae- from my neck down to in between my shoulder blades. Thankfully I walked out of the hospital a week later and didn't require any major surgeries. About 8 months after my accident, when my spine "healed," I started noticing perpetual stiffness in the location of my spinal injury, and I have the constant urge to crack my back. I crack it about 15 times a day, maybe more, and can accomplish this by simply shifting my shoulders and sort of wriggling my spine from left to right. It's starting to really bother me and the minor discomfort is evolving to a constant dull pain. I no longer have medical insurance and can't afford to see an orthopedist or a physical therapist to help correct this problem...
My question for you is, might there be any sort of light daily exercises I can do to possibly strengthen the small muscles surrounding my vertebrae to hold them in place and relieve some of my back pain? I've had friends tell me to do dead lifts, but I'm afraid that will only exacerbate the issue or cause further injury.

Bodyweight exercises only at first. Back extensions, superman's, planks, etc. Build a good core strength before doings lifting.
Then do deadlift, upright rows, pendlay rows, shrugs, dumbell rows, and so on. Don't skip leg day might as well even your shit out.
This is to be done with extremely light weight and form is of most importance. You don't increase weight till you're absolutely confident it won't be a problem. Focus on reps vs weight. 6-8 reps for everything except deadlift.

Why is using the smith machine bad for barbell squats?
I'm looking for real answers here, preferably with sources or visuals on what happens during a smith squat vs a freeweight squat.
What is the smith machine for if not for doing SS type exercises?

There are many, MANY issues with using the smith machine for squats, but one of the major ones is how the bar is fixed in a set path of motion.
This puts strain on things and encourages improper form.
TL;DR: Kill yourself for even asking

How do I get good skin?
As a young teen, I had a lot of back acne and have some scarring from it. I also easily get stretchmarks from getting swole.
My current plans are to get a derma roller, a tan (bought tanning lotion, sunscreen, and aloe based moisturizer).
What else can I do?

Life is good man. Don't be so insecure about your height. It's all about your face in the end.

Right? And it goes on in plain sight - yet nobody believes it when I tell them. They think that unless you look like Mr. Olympia you're clean.

Just lose a pound or 2 a week like a normal person

>>38432877
Why on earth do you need to lose 31 pounds in 20 days? And no that's probably not even possible.
God, just diet and workout like a normal person you fat piece of shit.

Why are asians so skinny when they often don't lift or workout? Is it genetics or diet? If genetics, doesn't this contradict fits claims that you can work to lose weight? If diet, how do they do it when they eat crazy calorie dense stuff like ramen all the time?

You know a ramen is only max 750 Kcals , 3 of them is below maintenance for anyone who isn't less than half a man

Less carbs and fat, smaller portions. Mostly seafood instead of red meat. Butter is not a staple food in their diets. Did you know a croissant is a kilo of dough and a kilo of butter? Also their sweets tend to not use sugar, or nearly as much as say french or english cooking.

>>38432491
Its diet you retard. They don't eat ramen all the time you retard.
