Gotta go for the hand. I vaguely recall sometimes it would be animated and another card would poke out of the person's sleeve.

Palm Trees or Robot, and its my ankle and sometimes my knee
24 0 ReplyAn inversion table can do wonders for joint pain. I know cause I kinda got one for free. Friend moved to Hawaii and couldn't take it with.
2 0 ReplyDoesn't an inversion table kind of hang you from your ankles? That seems like a dangerous solution for ankle pain, at least.

Joke's on you.
My back hurt when I woke up then.
14 0 ReplyI like the hand holding the cards because an ace would pop out of the sleeve.
No back pain outside of the very occasional knots. Likely from good core strength and a hyperfixation of personal biomechanics
12 0 ReplyI enjoyed the spiral shell, also no back pain unless I pulled a muscle, though that hasn't happened for what feels like almost a year now since I started regularly stretching.
Also being a construction worker has done amazing things for my fitness.

10 1 ReplyMy back doesn't wait until I get up to hurt, that's an all night affair!
I was all about the hand for some reason.
9 0 ReplyI feel this. Biggest things that helped me:
- Sleep on my back
- Use a 12-18 degree wedge pillow for my torso to lay on
- Pillow under the knees
I tried all these things separately and it didn't help. But together, it worked!
(Use another regular pillow for your head on top of the wedge)

I always chose the roses.
9 0 ReplyI felt like I'd matured and grown as a person when I decided I preferred the standard pattern to the spooky castle and palm tree on the beach. I was still a child, of course.

7 0 ReplyThe castle. No back pain so far thanks to a career in mostly office jobs.
7 0 ReplyYou called it, absolutely the manor/castle. I'd forgotten these until seeing this now.
6 0 ReplySince i started going to gym and do squats my lower back stopped hurting, thank you very much. But yup my fav was robot one and hand one. I have vouge memory that there was an animation from time to time, but that might be Mandela effect. Good times being a child and pcs being full of magic :3
6 0 ReplyI wanted to say the same thing, use it or lose it.
Pain sometimes comes from injury or other mechanism, but loads of people with back pain just need to exercise more.
A strong back will do wonders.
Likewise a strong wrist will resist keyboard pain. It won't tolerate bad typing posture or a crappy keyboard, but it will resist pain with a good ergo keyboard and good posture

3 0 ReplyMy parents and grandparents would get weirdly but wholesomely excited whenever they saw the animation on the cards (like the sun on the beach smiling). They all played a lot of solitaire.
2 0 ReplyHa, joke's on you. My back only hurts after sex.
2 0 ReplyBlack or blue vine things. They seemed the "realest" to me, but don't seem to get much love.
Can confirm my back currently, and always, hurts.
2 0 ReplyLikewise, on both counts.

It was the fishies. To be fair I was really young. But I expect my back to hurt in the morning too instead of just the afternoon any year now.
