Welcome to my blog, the beginning of my experience – experiment. What is this experiment, you ask? Up until my mid-thirties, I was a relatively healthy and happy young woman until one day an accident happened that changed everything resulting in a back surgery that took me on a wild ride. For a brief time, I lived almost pain-free again. I was normal, however, a couple of falls and injuries later a pain-free life was taken from me once again. It began over again; the doctor’s appointments, tests, injections, etc., but there was always a common thread in the advice of all the medical professionals.
- Lose weight
- Quit smoking
- No alcohol, no caffeine
- Exercise
Not that these are easy tasks by any means, but can a pain-free life be that easy–simply speaking? I am taking on the challenge! Can this be the answer away from the pills, injections, depression, and sleepless nights? That, my dear friends, is the Chronic Pain Experiment. I will share information about conditions associated with chronic pain, lifestyle tips, health and diet tips, and journal/logs of my progress along the way in my journey through this experiment.
I hope that you will continue to read on; I want to share this journey with you. It is my hope that we will all learn something along the way.
