I was frustrated when I didn't see improvements in the time frame the doctors said I would but I've come to realize that everyone's body is different and each person heals differently. It was really hard for me to be immobile for so long during recovery- this seemed to cause a new set of issues: my muscles atrophied, my alignment was terrible from over-compensating, my flexibility was gone, etc. But I finally feel like I've turned a corner, however small it may be. This might be something I always deal with so I'm just trying to live my life to the fullest, regardless of my condition. <br /><br />I didn't know you dealt with back pain! My heart truly goes out to anyone living with a chronic condition. I hope it's manageable. Thanks for the note! And we fell in LOVE with Idaho after driving through it this summer so a trip your direction might be sooner than you think!

I hope it is considerably better or gone! I too have dealt with chronic back pain since I was about 19. I have some compression in my S1, from a "lifting" injury when I was working retail. I have felt all the things you have too. Love you blog and miss you guys! When are you coming to Idaho? Hee hee!Mariehttps://www.facebook.com/MARIEMDnoreply@blogger.com
