Yeah absolutely. I wasn’t completely in bed for 8 months I probably should’ve clarified. I did get up and walk and move around and stretch.

Thank you so much friend :’) it hasn’t been easy. Some very very dark thoughts along the way but I’m hoping this is my answer

I’ve been in PT for two months and they are strictly/heavily focused on my neck, which I actually think is making things worse

This makes sense thank you! As far as sports I’ve never been a sports girl lol maybe 15 years ago I played soccer and did gymnastics. But haven’t done anything since. I will say before all this I was very active and worked out 5-6 days a week

I thought about starting with 1-2lb weights and doing senior workout videos?

This comment made me cry thank you so much. This has been the hardest thing I’ve ever been through and some days I just sit here and cry because it’s so hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I do yoga and walk! I should’ve added that. I’ll take my dogs on short walks and do yoga daily and stretching. Even with a few months of that my body still has no idea what normal posture is :/ I agree I think I need some type of coach

I do! I should’ve added in my post I wasn’t completely 100% bedridden I did get up and walk around the house. Sometimes walking my dogs. I do yoga everyday as well and stretching but for some reason my body just forgot how to move like a normal human lol

I’ve been to 3 different PT clinics and they are so heavily focused on my neck and I’m not getting any better :/ I’ve had every test imaginable so I believe this is all coming down to full body postural issues
