Physical Therapy

In just a few minutes I will be leaving the house to drive to one of our local fitness centers to have my first physical therapy session for my lower back.  My back has been giving me problems since 1990, about 30 years, and all I have to do is bend over and raise back up wrong and my entire lower back reels in pain when I try to stand back up which is not totally possibly and I have to walk with my back bend over about 30 degrees.  In order to remedy this, I am forced to lay on my back several hours a day for 3-4 days before the pain is eliminated.

I have been to lower back/spinal specialists 4 or 5 times since 1990 and they have given me back braces or sent me to therapy in an attempt to fix the situation.  MY PROBLEM is that after attending those therapy sessions, I failed to continue with the exercises...  and if I had continued, there is a good possibility my lower back problems may have never returned.\

So today, I have another opportunity to follow through...  perhaps I am going to listen this time...
