@mandyjw Thank you for the suggestions Yes,have made mattress adjustments, comfy shoes, better chair with lumbar support at work, etc. My doc prescribed new pain meds Tramadol that has been working so far today and not messing up stomach. I was finally able to take a decent nap and move around without pain yay. Hope it keeps working.

@Ulax I had 2 massage therapy sessions and had a ton of pain the following night/day afterwords. Will look into the program in the link, thank you!

@undeather @Nahm @Michael569 @Medhansh Thank you guys for the feedback and support ❤️?

@Nahm Thank you for the kind words. I envision complete healing in 1-2 yrs. In the meantime, working on mobility and range of motion. I don't do anything strenuous, can already get in and out of bathtub by myself, get dressed/undressed, in/out of bed. Just 3 mos ago couldn't do any of those by myself, so I'm moving in the right direction in baby steps. I have strong willpower and great self discipline and positive attitude of not giving up. 10 yrs ago I healed cancer without an oncologist just by researching and taking the right steps. I work on my victim mentality and. I see these trials as opportunity for growth. Thank you so much for your support and understanding

1 minute ago, undeather said:Waking up with a messed up stomach can already be a sign of a damaged gastric-mucosa.
PLEASE think about getting a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) for at least 2 weeks to prevent ulceration. No amount of taking it with food or probiotics will prevent this from happening if you are unlucky.
Most back injuries will get better to the degree your core & back musculature is getting stronger.
The best bet you have is getting to a physiotherapist who really knows what he is doing.
My knowledge about surgeries in that case is limited, therefore I wont say anything for or against itWhat do use for those?

@Nahm I kind of do what works for me as far as exercises go. There would be 2-3ays of intense pain followed by 2-3 days of sympom free days. I found this chart online while researching how nerves heal and it has been a case witj me. It has to get worse before it gets better.
-
@Michael569 Ive been doing core exercises at home and try to stay active and mobile. My goal is to maintain quality of life Still working. The doc is pushing for a surgery, but I won't be doing it. I've been doing some research online and it seems back problems , even severe ones resolve themselves with time. Yesterday pain got pretty bad, so I got Aleve, but this morning I woke up with messed up stomach and feeling like throwing up. I took probiotics and some pineapple. Going to eat some breakfast now. I did take Aleve with food yesterday
-
@undeather Compression fractures in T6 and T12 and ruptured discs throughout lumbar section of the spine L4 through S 1. Paraspinous - normal.
-
I started using Aleve for my back pain it it has given some relief. I'm also on a anti inflammatory diet. And meditate to have a better spiritual perspective on pain.
What other ways have you discovered to keep pain at bay?
Thanks for your feedback.

NOURISH
Nourish the mind with emptiness
And the body with virtue
Nourish all things in the world with benevolence
And nourish all ages with Tao

So, the results are in BUT steps the doc suggested to fix my current condition (sore back) have nothing to do with it. The doc prescribed 2 different vaccines (one is for chicken pox wtf?, colonoscopy, more scans (ok) (her friend owns an imaging company), pep smear, surgery (her brother is a surgeon), injections, etc. Nothing is said about core exercises, spine healthy diet, dry sauna (to help blood flow and inflammation), epsom salt baths (that have been life savers for my back pain, special mattress accomodations, etc). Again, sounds like catering to the Big Pharma. Ugh! Im determined to stick to my own common sense, research, and self discipline to help myself, like I did with beating cancer 10 yrs ago. Just bazzar an experienced doc/ chiro wouldn't know what works and what doesn't in a healing process of the body. Anywho, I'm setting a goal to get better on my own this year. Will be recording progress in this journal, so stay tuned if you care ???
100% agreed

11 hours ago, LastThursday said:Matrix, maternal and matter have the same word origins:
Thanks for the links. Maybe that's the reason we feel like home here
-
Next Friday I'll know why my back is in pain on/off. Had it X-rayed last Thursday. Until recovery this is pretty much how I feel about it
-
@Khan 0 Ok, so the mother (matrix) drops 'you' to the father (the Absolute). Yes, I've been dropped and have to say momma's love is still more comforting than father's

@Forza21 The essence. Both wave and ocean share the same essence which is water.
-
In my recent contemplation came up an insight to view the Matrix as maternal and the Absolute as paternal. In other words, in this reality we feel like in a womb, connected, familiar, safer, tighter. While the Absolute seems distant, empty, and detached. Still both are one (all in the family : )
Let me know what you think, if it's a good analogy.

I found this chart while researching how pain heals and it made a lot of sense to me. So basically if you've had an injury or a condition where pain from nerves is involved, you probably noticed that as the healing process happens slowly and with intervals between good days and bad days. Eventually, after weeks or even months, the pain will completely ceases. It happens so gradually, that you may even not notice when it stopped. This chart shows the cycle of nerve healing and if you're going through healing and managing the pain right now, have hope. It has to get worse before it gets better. Actually, when it's at it's worse, that's when the nerves are doing some heavy duty repairing. Then you'll feel a few days of relief, and back to pain, etc.
Here's the chart:

Never thought I would start a journal, never had one before. But it's good and I am ready. This year I'm focusing on my well-being and health. I've been serious about my health for a number of years now, especially after my bout with cancer back in 2012, been free since. I've learned so much that could probably coach others out of it. If only people listened! I'm the living proof the stuff that I've done works. I'll be sharing more about what and how exactly I've been doing in my future entries.
I started this year with a goal in mind to clean up my diet, like for real. No kind of any processed or refined food, no red meet, no fast food, no gluten, etc. Instead, more fresh organic produce, mostly leafy greens, veggies, fresh fruit, non-gluten grains like buckwheat, more oinized alkaline water, fresh juicing and smoothies, weekly saline water flushes, making more fermented goods at home, maybe even start a community garden to grow my own produce.
One of my other well tested wellness routines that Ive been doing and loving and found effective is dry sauna. Great for heart health, detox and cleansing, stress, anti-inflammatory, skin health, +++. Thinking about doing a 10 day sauna challenge, which will report in this journal as well.
Well, enough for now. Stay tuned for updates, maybe you'll find some of this info useful for you as well. And please feel free to share your experiences and what helped you on your journey to wellness.
Stay well and aware <3

Unhappy people fear death more than happy people do. Reason: when you have lived life feeling unhappy/unfulfilled, then to you death is the end and no more chances at creating happy life. Happy people don't have that problem. They just enjoy life and vibe with it and have no regrets or wishes at better happier life. So when the time comes to let go of this avatar (body/mind), they just let go of it easier and even more willingly, because they don't have the need to recreate their life to anything other that what they already have had and enjoyed.
And that again, within dual reality. In the Absolute reality, there is no such thing as fear or death, only illusion of them.
