122. I'm wondering about my neck but I think I just need the proper exercises

Mon Mar 1, 2021, 06:40 PM

Mar 2021

But the back was the result of falling off a horse about forty years ago. Although they did X-rays, they didn't show any fractures. I suspect there were tiny cracks at that time. But over the years as I got older, surgeries had me disabled for periods, gaining weight, and getting out of shape, the bone just came apart as the muscles were no longer supporting it.

I had been tested for osteoporosis so it wasn't that.

They fused it and did whatever but the nerve damage was done. physical therapy and exercises help but I've been unable to do a lot of them since November when I stubbed the shit out of a toe, fractured it badly and the entire foot was compromised. It still hurts, especially when I walk so I'm waiting for it to heal and then get back into the regime the PT recommended.

Getting old sucks and so do accidents!
