finding an answer to chronic pain

February 27, 2016 by weightsandwatermelon

 

Beginning in November 2014, I started to have constant pain in my right low back and hip. I chalked it up at the time to going “too fast too soon” in terms of working out – did I pull something in a tough workout and didn’t realize it? Was my body really not as strong as it used to be at age 29? 

I’ve never dealt with chronic pain before, so having this issue was eye opening and depressing at the same time. No matter what I did, I couldn’t figure out what caused it, why it was continuing to happen, and how I could make it stop.

get yo’ butt in gear, girl

Holiday vacation is over, which meant back to work for this ad girl today 🙂

While excited to see my co-workers, it’s definitely tough to get back into things. I had my fair share of wine and delicious food over my winter break (which everyone should), and while I will continue to indulge every so often, I wanted to reflect on what goals and changes I want to make in 2015.
