I have been doing physical therapy for my back once I fully recovered from the surgery, and I am learning so much more about how to better take care of my back. It makes me so mad I didn’t seek this out ten years ago when I started “throwing out my back” (whatever that even actually means) every other month. Please, learn from my mistake: if you have back issues, don’t just assume they have to be part of your daily life. See a doctor, and get yourself into some kind of therapy if possible.
