Sports!!
Second blog in a month. Not bad if I do say so myself!!
I've come to realize that my life has revolved quite heavily around physical activities. Whether it be sports, physical labor, or just the gym. I absolutely love doing all of the above and wouldn't mind trying something new that would involve some sort of strength.
But what happens when I can't do these things anymore? What will happen to me when I am not physically able to do it?
This has just recently crossed my mind as I've been trying to battle my way to recovering from some lower back pains that I can't seem to shake. I know there isn't a miracle pill that will get rid of all the pain (besides tylenol) for good. It bothers me that someday I won't be able to play all the sports I'd like to play. It bothers me that this could affect playing with my future children.
I've gone to Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Massage therapists and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Had some conversations with my girlfriend who's currently trying to be a Chiropractors (GO SWTIE GO!) and from her studies and knowledge, she thinks my muscles are tight and I may have a nerve that is pinched. Been trying to stretch as often as I can but so far, not much has changed. I'll continue to keep stretching but I have a feeling that my extracurricular activities (mainly dodgeball) are contributing to this chronic pain.
I've never felt old before but this really makes me feel old. I totally wish I was wolverine and could simply heal myself.
