    • Close Back Pain

      I worked in a nursing home back in 97/98 or so and a resident with alzheimers (and cast on her arm) hit me in my upper back pretty hard caused a bone to chip off, float, and fuse elsewhere. Later on I worked in a group home, and a resident (diabetic and dealing with low sugar) pulled me to the floor and hurt my back with his wheelchair. As time passed my back got worse, my lower back crunches when I walk and it has been harder to get around. The YMCA (swimming/walking) has saved my life!
