I hope you're doing well as you can. I injured my back many years ago and I was worried about developing a habit. Surgery and PT have got me back to 95% though I occasionally use medical marijuana as a crutch for bad days. I count myself lucky, not everyone can deal with their symptoms with exercise and light medication.

I am doing OK, thank you. I have some useful exercises, like the piriformis stretch, that help me manage the pain level. Plus I am thankful to be able to walk my dog for 2 to 4 miles in one go, several times a week, so my physical fitness isn't completely in the toilet :)
