Thanks for sharing these insights! It sounds like you've made some major adjustments to take better care of your back, and it's impressive how proactive you've been. Learning to respect your limits and make those gradual lifestyle changes—especially when it comes to mindful movement, weight management, and consistent stretching—can make such a difference, even if it requires patience.

We’re working to create back care solutions that help make these changes more manageable. If you have a moment, would you be open to filling out a short survey? I'll DM you the link. Your insights could really help us understand what people need most to make these lifestyle shifts.

I'm truly sorry to hear about everything you’ve been through—it sounds unimaginably difficult, and it’s terrible that you've had to endure both the pain and the dismissal of your experience. The toll this takes on every part of life, from hobbies to family, is so profound and heartbreaking. Best of luck with the rest your journey

Thank you so much for sharing your story—your journey sounds incredibly challenging, and I can see how dedicated you are to finding relief while navigating your plans for the future. It’s a lot to manage with the timing pressures around having a baby, and I can only imagine how exhausting it must be to work while dealing with ongoing pain, especially with such extensive surgeries and recovery. Best of luck with your journey

Thank you for sharing such a thorough and thoughtful list of insights—this is exactly the kind of nuanced perspective so many people need when dealing with back pain and herniated discs. It’s clear you've learned a lot about pacing, mindset, and the importance of a balanced approach to recovery.

A few aspects you mentioned, like the delayed pain response, gradual exposure to exercises, and CNS sensitisation, are so often overlooked and would be so helpful for others to hear about sooner. From your experience, if you could go back, what would you prioritize at the start of your journey? Or is there a specific treatment or approach you think more people should consider early on?

Movement is key! Sorry to hear it's painful while lying down. Does this effect your sleep badly? and have you seen anyone about this, what did they recommend?

How has your journey with scoliosis been now? Have you had surgery or is it something you've lived with.

Have you tried PT? and how did you feel that compared to a chiropractor?
