i have started to journal again but it's currently all dark and dramatical.
you all know that i have had my share of being sick. finally able to go back to the gym. however, 10 minutes on the elliptical it's utter pain. walking any distance farther than my car causes pain.
i started seeing a chiropractor in december. i thought i was just so out of shape that i needed to live the motto 'no pain, no gain.'
well nothing i did was working. finally, i have a diagnosis. spinal stenosis.
not curable but manageable. or, i guess you can cure it with back surgery but that would be the last, very last, choice.
the silver lining is now i have the information/knowledge on what to do. exercise is limited to the incumbent bicycle or swimming, lots of on the floor core work, lots of stretching. i have read stories of runners being able to eventually run again but i am supposing my running days are over. pity.
