The first time I had real back pain I didn’t know what was happening to me. I was terrified that I’d broken something and I would end up paralyzed. I’m not ashamed to tell you that I cried.
The pain eventually stopped after three days, but it appeared again repeatedly.
Let me tell you one thing: you are not hopeless. Your back is the one causing your problems; don’t let it break your spirit too.
There is help. I’m an example of that.
Six years after I had my bout first of back pain – I was a changed person. And not for the better.
I had literally become a hermit.
My spirit was down and I couldn’t stand to be with normal healthy people. I envied them for their freedom. I envied the fact that they were able to sit and stand for more than 30 minutes without collapsing in excruciating pain.
One day I got a call from an old classmate from college, Greg.
He was inviting me to our 10 year college reunion. I politely declined and was on the point of hanging up when Greg started to insist.
Eventually I told him about my back pain and how I just wanted to be left alone. To my annoyed surprise, he said: “That’s your only problem? Then I’m going to email you something and then I’ll see you at the party. Wear a bow tie!”.
I was skeptical and a little insulted.
When I received his email it contain a link to a video by Dr Ian Hart a sports professor along with a fitness trainer called Mr Bojan, from Serbia.
They had co-created this incredible video containing a revolutionary treatment .
The first day I woke up without any pain, I cried (again). But this time of happiness. Total relief. I felt like I had been reborn!
I went to that party. I still have the bow tie. But thankfully, I no longer have the back pain.
