Back Issues

Goodness 2018 has been a year. I've felt the highest highs and the lowest lows. We keep getting over hurdle after hurdle but thankfully Derek and I are stronger than ever and are determined to get through it all. Now that this little face is sleeping and is a much happier baby everything seems perfect. That is, except for my back and hips. Going on 6 weeks now I've been fighting pain when I wake up and on most days it's so painful I can barely move. It all started right after Will's roughest time of needing held and rocked and picked up and laid down over and over and over all day. I know that's what started it, but combined with the fact that my core strength is very weak and ALL my baby weight this time went to my stomach I was doomed. I've now seen a spine doc, am going to PT, have been to the chiropractor and am stopping bootcamp and starting yoga. It has decreased in my back but now in my right hip on the front and back it's still there. I try to not lift Will when possible and Derek has been a champ with that but it's just still so depressing. To wake up to every morning feeling like an 85 year old person when I need to attack my day sucks. I was so excited to start running and getting back into shape but I'm so scared of aggravating it. Good thing this little stinker is so cute!
