DAMILOLA ADEGBITE: This is me post physiotherapy 🙂 Harassed and in some pain 😩For over a year, I’ve had an excruciating pain in my neck, literally. When the pain hits, I’m unable to function for days. I have been on the strongest of pain killers for too long. They numb the pain for a bit and it’s back to business as usual. And of course with neck pain, comes migraines. It has been hell.
I started physiotherapy over a week ago and I have noticed the pain is less. I have only taken a pain killer once since then. If you know me well, this is a big deal! 🙂I am not supposed to lift weights for at least 3 months or do any kind of strenuous activities 😩 This part is sooo hard for me but I’m determined to do anything to get rid of the pain. In the mean time, I have to wear this beautiful neck fashion accessory a couple of hours a day, so if you see me outside with it, don’t be afraid. Lol
All in all, I’m grateful. Whatever we are going through, it could be much worse. When you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up 🙏🏻❤️
