Hi Internet, I'm having a rough time, and I'm also having a hard time unpacking it all, so here we are on the blog. Let's give it a go. Here's the basics: I've been having steadily worsening lower back pain for several months. I finally started the doctor's visit/what's-actually-wrong-with-me train a few weeks ago, but [...]
