Second opinion

I went to see an osteopath today, having been referred there by my surgeon...and my three herniated disks may not be the cause of all my back pain. After 20 years of dealing with this s**t, someone finally noticed that one of my legs is longer than the other, and my pelvis is tilted. It's quite possible that I will not need surgery, and that exercise, adjustments and a lift in one of my shoes will fix the problem. I'm stuck between "Yay! I'm gonna get better!" and "Grrrrrr! Why didn't anyone notice this before?"

Either way, I do believe that relief is in sight, one way or the other. Look out, life...I'm coming back!
