My Story

Sep 7, 2017

Year Condition Began: 2003


As a child I could not do things like gymnastics dance, my back was stiff, was told I needed to stretch more. As the years went by I just ignored symptoms and problems then I had 2 pinched nerves in my neck and had surgery, then I irritated my SI joint then I was diagnosed with AS, my uncle had it and his neck was almost completely fused, my grandmother had it also had a slumped back could hardly stand straight. Now it is my turn, the disc degeneration in my lower back is extensive SI joint stay irritated and I have Osteopina which bone loss. Depression has always been a battle for me since a teenager. Stay happy, have happy thoughts and do happy things, keep moving, if you don't use it you lose it.
