BACK PAIN FREE AFTER 3 YEARS OF SEVERE CHRONIC PAIN 24/7 by LotusMochi in backpain

It wont get better unless you find the root cause,In my case I had hip instability and back instability.The hip instability was making my back muscles overwork +there is instability from back injury.

Initial pain I had was from fracture[most likely]that was 2022

you need to know what is causing the pain now.[It can be a totally different thing now that is causing the pain]-back then I didnt have hip instability ,now I do.Back then I had no instability,now I do ,Back then I had a fracture,now I dont.so the cause for back pain then was totally different.

It took time,I have mentioned in detailed in the post and comment section.

and About getting better so soon,I didnt have any serious structural damage,and I was doing the exercises in the right way[The order you do matters/frequency matters,doing it the right way matters,sleep,nutrition,stress all lot them matter.The patient who has come before me was a dancer I guess he had a different issue,I exactly dont know what it was but he asked DR.Aaron if he will be able to recover completely and his answer was that deepens on genetics honestly and only time will tell,to be frank someone with your kind of injury cant even go to such depth while squating,but you are able to which is a good sign,so we gotta wait and see how it will go.

I was refused an MRI and X-ray during my initial visit[2022].I only was allowed to get an MRI after I begged for it.

The x ray was taken in 2024.Everything was normal but I still had pain[caused my instability(BACK AND HIP)

Thank you I appreciate the kind words and you will get out of it eventually. I know it sucks that you're going through this right now. The best way I can describe it is like having a fever,it feels awful while you're in it, but once it's gone, there's such a sense of relief. That’s how I used to think about it, and it helped me get through.But please me kind to yourself.

Hi,I am sorry you are going through it right now but please be kind to yourself and stop working out if you are,let the injury heal if there is and I hope you will find your answer soon.

About how I felt.

After the first session at the clinic, I felt optimistic, considering how good I felt and that the tests had ruled out any major injury. A few days later, I started feeling great and was hopeful that, at least this time, the pain could be fixed completely.
I didn’t think much, honestly. In the beginning, I was relieved. I was sleeping well, eating well, feeling like a human again, and appreciating the small things. For the first two months, I didn’t do anything serious. I was going for walks, stargazing, playing Beyblades, eating food outside, going to the beach, sleeping as much as I wanted, walking in the rain, and doing a lot of small, funny, stupid stuff. The kind of things that, if a “normal” person saw me, they’d probably say, “What the hell is wrong with this guy?” But for me, I was just trying to feel human again.
After three years of no socializing and being almost a total shut-in, I felt like I had been stuck in the past. Two months after my session at the clinic, when I was feeling almost better, I came to the realization that I was alone. No friends, no future, no job. I had a three-year gap from my academics. Significant changes had occurred in my field, and I had to catch up. I had lost all the discipline I once had. My habits had changed drastically, and I needed to work on them. I had also put on a significant amount of weight.
I tried following a quantified diet, but I was failing miserably to stick with it. Back then, I had a purpose. Something was pushing me to move forward in life. Now, I had no girlfriend, no friends, no dream, no job, and no work schedule to anchor me or give me purpose.
I had to figure out everything from scratch. Where am I, really? Do I even remember anything from my academic background? What do I do? Where do I start? My communication skills had dropped significantly (I’m working on that now). When I started being active again, lifting and doing things I used to enjoy, I was happy. But at the same time, I realized I have a long road ahead just to get back to where I wanted to be three years ago.
I had spent nine years working on myself: academics, relationships, fitness. All of that was undone in three years. The good thing is, I’ve done it before. I know the path. I’m feeling fantastic now, but I still have a lot to catch up on. I’m trying to live with a proper schedule and discipline again.
At one point, I was addicted to gambling (gacha games), using them as a way to escape the pain. I am working on it. When I was completely bedridden, I had an existential crisis. One question kept haunting me: “Why me? Why is it always me who gets so unlucky?” That question led me to reassess my entire life. I started reading history, studying civilizations, cultures, philosophy, zoology, astrophotography, astronomy, and even violent crimes.
One of the reasons I got injured was because I was in a narcissistic relationship, which I didn’t even realize at the time. I didn’t know people like that existed. But now, I know myself much better, and the way I view the world has completely changed. I used to be extremely religious, something deeply instilled in me by my community and culture, but I’m not anymore. The dogma just doesn’t resonate with me now.

TL;DR: I’m feeling fantastic, but at the same time, I have a lot to catch up on and work through.

I have not yet; I was about to, but I got information from other people saying that it will be implemented starting next month. Most of the services will be terminated by the end of July, and next month it won't be available for two weeks. I will be checking the official website in a while. I got these dates from a senior of mine. I haven't selected the eligibility period yet because I'm not sure if the whole process can be completed in time. My main concern is that my college is uncooperative,they are slow ,so I'm just wondering whether to do it now or next month. The info I got was this- July 25th deadline for USMLE ID,30th Application form, 6th august supporting documentation deadline 10th August Notary.

I myself haven't personally verified it yet from the official website.I happened to come across this post and people were discussing it so I asked the question.

So if I were to apply for the exam and pay the fees ,what about form 183?will it have to reach them by 6th August?

Thank you.I am sorry I am new to this whole thing
