    BIL passed away early this AM in south Brazil where they are trying to recover from catastrophic flooding. He was quite ill for some time but these are times for extended family there. Feeling kind of helpless to support them.

    I'm so so sorry for your loss. I'm sure your family feels your support from afar. Sending so much love your way!<3

    Thank you! It was hard but it really lit a fire under me to keep it up!

    @Garbagegang ugh my bulging disc is something I will have to address in the future. [/quote]

    I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. Do you find the pain gets worse then eases and gets better? My first experience with the radiculopathy was in November. Talk about a shot in the butt! Yow!!

    @Garbagegang my back is complicated and I’ll spare you the details but yes, that stupid disc never exactly heals and flares up if I’m not super careful. My profession as a gardener is brutal on my back.
    I’ve worked with my spine Dr and a physical therapist on my movements through the day, literally from how I get out of bed in the morning to how I drive a car to how I sleep at night.

    I work super hard on my core strength. My back is the worst if I rest too much. We say “motion is the lotion and too much rest makes me rust”.
    Even with all of this I can tell my disc is deteriorating and the flare ups happen more often.

    I will share that the absolute worst back pain in my life was a few years ago when my primary put me on a statin. I got to the point where I was laying on the floor crying in pain several times a day. Turns out that in some cases statins can exacerbate spine damage. I felt better within days of going off the statin.
    This is actually when I originally started my weight lose journey at 242lbs, to get my cholesterol into the healthy range. This last February as my weight was creeping up again so was my cholesterol. Again this motivated me to work on my weight to control this.

    Lol this the short version of my back pain journey!!!!
    My advice is to get regular X-rays and MRIs to monitor. Find a specialist who understands you and a physical therapist who can help you live your best life!
