My back was just destroyed after pregnancy. I almost had to have surgery, until I did Pilates and rebuilt my body.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had some surgery on my feet, which has helped my back some.
My spine healed incorrectly. There were long periods when I'd be perfectly all right, and then there were many other times when I wasn't, when my back would give out and throw me down to the floor amid waves of nauseating pain.
I have a bad back partially from playing the drums and singing. I used to have to hold my body in such a position that my spine got out of alignment.
I do Pilates because it's important for me to have a healthy back when I'm 70 so I'm not hunched over and in pain.
Without the care I received at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, I wouldn't look the way I do now; my back would be hunched over.
I had a breast reduction.
I stayed really physical during my pregnancy. I stuck to my normal pre-pregnancy workout, minus the stomach exercises and twisting. I really felt it helped my whole well-being.
Even when I was hurt with triple ACL reconstructive surgeries, there was a target on my back. I had to come back and fight through it.
I had to have shoulder reconstruction.
I haven't had any problems with my back since I got the foot surgery.
