I can relate. Had a serious back injury that blew out all of the muscles in my midback when I was 26. Still gives me problems 9 years later.

I feel you. Silver lining is we learned what "aging" really is when we were young. It forced me to eat clean and go to yoga classes. If I didn't blow out my back I'd probably still be eating like shit and not exercising. So at least there's that.

These chronic symptoms still fucking suck though. I feel like I haven't been thinking straight for the past 6 years
