Pain in the Back

Today marks the one year anniversary of that fateful day when the disc in my back herniated. Wow, a lot can happen in one year. That is the worst pain I have experienced . It would be 3 long months of physical therapy and chiropractors before we finally decided surgery was the only solution. Oddly enough, a week after my back injury, my father had major back surgery. He had been suffering for several years with back pain, and had recently seen a physician here in Birmingham who told him he needed surgery. Needless to say, my dad and I (and our spouses) had a rough year. I am thankful that my dad and I are pain-free this year!
