5 years ago, I was running two 5km runs a week and lifting 5-6 days a week. Then I developed chronic mid-thoracic back pain that has hurt literally every single day for over 4 years, now. I've had x-rays and MRIs, but since it is, according to the people I've seen, nothing clearly visible, they can't (won't) help me. Now the most activity I can engage in is walking the dogs or cleaning house. I've lost every bit of muscle and tone I had developed, and my cardio fitness is shit, now. I'm ashamed to see myself in the mirror. I wish I could find a way to take shower w/out myself, lol, if that makes sense. I try not to dwell on it, as it really piques my already potent depression. First world problems, though, right...?
