Back Pain

by Chloe - 25 June 2009

I’m worried about my back pain. I’m worried that it’s going away.

I managed to keep significant back pain going throughout the ski season by giving my body quite a pounding every week. A few weeks after switching to hiking for the summer, I started to notice a difference. The back pain was gradually diminishing.

In the last three weeks I have had three out of state business trips. Since my assistive device mode at work is a single forearm crutch, that is what I used on the trips. This is small potatoes compared with those of you who fly with a wheelchair, but I take baby steps. These were my first times flying with a crutch.
