The first couple of days were difficult. The pain was intense and unrelenting, but by Sunday I was feeling much better. I've had to stop taking the muscle relaxers because I need to study for exams, but as of Thursday I'll be feelin' no pain.
The doctor says I should continue to workout, so I'll be taking a yoga class this weekend to start. I start physical therapy next Thursday so I'll get a little more information on what exercises I should focus on for strengthening my back.
I'm glad I went to the doctor. Until Sunday I thought I would just be in pain. I was sure that was simply how it was going to be. I know now I can be healthy, strong and pain free.
Until next time...
PS Very afraid for tomorrow's exam...very afraid.
Yay physical therapy... most likely they will do a lot of core and ab stuff. Muscle relaxers are awesome... but they just don't go as well with wine as you would think haha
