Scary pains

AK,

I get transient back pain that will come and go. I may have it at different times of the day, for a week or so, then it will be better for some time.

I try to remember that aches and pains are not unusual...and the old medical school adage of:

"When hearing hoofbeats, assume horses, not zebras."

In other words, we need to be careful not to attach worries of things that are unlikely, to our everday common anxiety symptoms.

Keep working on your recovery efforts, and look into learning some stretches/exercises for relief of your back pain.

You are going to be alright...peace and progress!

S.C.

It's not just you!!

The forum has slowed down dramatically. Admin is working on some updates that should bring us up to current standards. (mobile app being one of them)

Until then, we have our smaller tight knit group...but with fewer responses...it's a trade off...

Hope today is a good one for you.

AK,

Tension, anxiety and pain are all exhausting!

Good call on using your recue med for relief...

...and rest, use self care...and perhaps some light exercise and stretching later if you are up to it.

Peace and progress!
