Sometimes I just need to vent. You know, in case you think errrrything is all rainbows and unicorns on my end. 😂
If you've followed me for any length of time, you probably know I have some nagging discomfort in my back/glutes. It's super "fun" to be 45, yeehaw.
This week I was supposed to get an MRI. I was literally about to walk into the room with the humming tube, only for a nurse to tell me I could not get an MRI. My hair extensions have some metal beads, which prevented the appointment. I pouted, but managed not to cry.
The silver lining, I suppose, is I have a nerve block now scheduled . . . in August. Sigh.
While I would love your wisdom on how to get relief, please know that I'm 12 years into this pain. I've done:
Consultations
X-rays
Pills of all kinds
X-ray guided injections
Physical Therapy
Deep Massage
Dry Needling
Chiropractic care
Stretches
Trigger Point Injections
All this to say, in case you have some nagging injuries, I get it. You can still be active! While I've reduced the exercise moves I can do without pain, I still exercise regularly and go for walks. You should too! I simply get creative with workouts so I can focus on strength gains and fat loss.
And it's a necessary reminder for us all that nutrition is 80% of body change! So if you currently cannot do traditional exercise, it's okay! Stay active with NEAT movement (Google it) and focus on what matters most:
Nutrition
Sleep
Stress-Reduction
So now is your time to offer up your ideas that are NOT on the list above. Thank you in advance for your expertise! No need to tell me I could temporarily remove my hair extensions for the MRI, wink.
Or just share your woe-is-me story, because Dark Cloud Debbie would love the company!
