I feel for them. I really do. I just couldn't imagine never being able to just be alone. Not even for just one single second. Everyone needs time alone sometimes.
True, but in some ways it's not as bad for them because they've never known that feeling, so maybe they don't know why people would particularly want it. Like if I asked you if you ever want to spend time away from your legs. I know it's not the same because it's another person but just saying they might never think about that at all.
I would absolutely love a synthetic spine. I'm 36 and my back is just miserable.
It would be one thing if it consistently got relief from something, but it's a constant shell game. Will heat help today? Will ibuprofen work this afternoon? Is PT going to help this time or make me feel terrible?
It's just a terrible process to go through and makes me want to go around telling everyone to sit up straight, stand more and do core exercises.
I've had xrays. They want me to go through 6 weeks of PT before they'll recommend an MRI. The MRI would be part of the pre-surgery procedures and then at that point I would qualify for the microdiscectomy if they show a herniated disc.
It's been a multi-year journey with this involving many ups and downs...let's hope it ends soon.
