The Search for Relief
I refused to give up and, like many others, I tried everything—heat packs, ergonomic chairs, and even daily stretching routines.
I started with chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy, but the sessions were nearly out of my budget, and the nearest clinic was an exhausting two-hour drive each way.
Then, I turned to painkillers and anti-inflammatory medications, but they quickly took a toll on my stomach after just a week of use.
I even experimented with posture braces and supplements that claimed to support muscle recovery, but they were uncomfortable, inconvenient, and didn’t seem to make any real difference.
Surgery loomed as the last resort, but, like so many, I simply couldn’t justify the cost—or the long recovery time.
