FIGHTING FOR HER Life

WHEN I FIRST STARTED HAVING BACK PAIN IN LATE SUMMER 2017, I ASSUMED I HAD REINJURED A HERNIATED DISC THAT I HAD DEALT WITH A FEW YEARS PRIOR.

Back then I had turned to Pilates to keep my core strong; that turned out to be a much better pain reliever than the drugs I had been prescribed. Unfortunately, this time the pain kept getting worse and worse. After a couple of months, it had spread to my neck and pelvis; it became so bad that it hurt just to sit on the toilet. I couldn’t go grocery shopping because I couldn’t reach up or down to grab things off shelves. I cried riding in the car because every little bump sent stabbing pains shooting through my entire body. Walking hurt, but standing hurt more. I couldn’t lie down in bed to sleep. Actually, it was difficult going to sleep at all. Vacuuming, laundry… everything hurt, all the time. I had difficulty even carrying a purse!
