Wow. It has been over a year since I last posted. I wish I could say things got better, but I don’t think I can say that. Where I left off a year ago. I had just left the crazy job that was 30 minutes away from my house. I had moved on to a…

Spine Recovery Update
So it has been a while since I did an update on my spine. It has been a LONG and DIFFICULT road to recovery and while I am getting closer I am still far away. I still get severe pain that jolts through my spine. It is worse when I am standing up, when I…

Number 8.
Today (June 11th, 2019) I went for my Spine Injection Procedure #8. And of course. Like almost every other procedure I have had, my period decided to pop up. (Everyone think’s it’s related to the stress). So basically I went in, in the afternoon. There was a lot of people waiting in the room so…
Long day at the Hospital

Sunday Fun Day: MRI
Sunday April 28th, I had a doctor’s appointment to go to the hospital for another MRI on my back. The only difference with this MRI VS my other MRI’s is that this one was the first one post-car accident. My other MRI’s were done before the car accident. But knowing by the Xray images have…
Blindsided by a Nagging Injury

Back Pain: Arthritis and Extra Bone
I have been having back pain for as long at least 12 years now. At first I thought, back pain? This has to be normal. Everyone my age (I was thirteen at the time) must have it because nobody is showing any symptoms.
