Recently returned from a herniated disc (L4-L5).....
Hi everyone, I am not new here but have been away for a long while with mounting back problems. Last fall I herniated a disc and was laid up for quite a while.

Addictions, OCD, etc
I laid in bed again this morning unable to sleep. A few weeks back I was in conversation with one of our patient/clients about OCD. For the first time in my life I realized that i was actually OCD.

Exercise.....How Often and how much.
Hi everyone, I have begun my weight loss journey a little over a month ago. I never was one that enjoyed too many sports as I was an Artsy type person! But as I started to exercise (at first in 5 to 10 minute intervals several times a day), I realized that I was starting to become a workout junkie. I walked on my coffee…
