I think the problems with my lower back began with sciatica and just progressed because it went untreated. I was young, and therefore, couldn’t possibly have the type and intensity of pain that I was experiencing, so it was all in my head and the doctors are telling me to seek mental health services.
Too young for arthritis and bursitis, but I believe the bursitis is as a result of untreated joint pain. But don’t get me started!
Back from hiking five miles. My back doesn’t feel any worse than it did before hiking five miles. It’s a little better today, especially after some ibuprofen, a hot shower, and a lie down by myself.
