Close Depression

Close Back Pain

When I was in fourth grade I fell off a beam in gymnastics and I hurniated a disc. In 2004 when I was a junior in hs I had a microdiscecomy on my L4L5 vertebrae. I was doing great, and for the first time that I could remember I felt normal...until my friend at the time's roomate drove us to blockbuster and I got whip lash when he swerved around speed bumps just because. My back has not been the same since. I have problems exercising because I am then in excruciating pain.

I had massage at physical therepy until I couldnt have it anymore because I had no more visits. I went to renew it and the doctor wasnt listening and he prescribed me physical therepy for my leg so the PT couldnt massage my back...last time Ive gone makes me sad cause I felt like I was getting better...
