Ouch - my back hurts!

It's hard to always have to say no to activities because my back is hurting. I know my kids and my husband want me back on my feet again, but it's very hard when I'm always in pain. I'm sick of being in pain and I'm sick of how grumpy the pain makes me. I want a new life, one where I can do things without wondering how I'm going to feel the next day. I am seeing my chiropractor each week on Mondays and I think it's starting to make a difference. On this site I keep a track of new research into back pain to give me some ideas to suggest to my therapist. I will be pain free soon, I'm determined!
