Overcoming A Chronic Injury and Finding A Surprising Way Out- Amy's 18 Month (!!) Journey

What happens when an injury becomes chronic and the way out is not what you envisioned? This is not just an episode about recovering from an injury (or in Amy's case, perhaps two injuries). It's about the journey into Amy's chronic injury, how it progressed and became constant, and the frustrating mental toll over 18 months that included multiple doctors, treatments, false starts, fear, doubt, and finally hope and a change in perspective.  The first half of this podcast focuses on the physical- the progression of low back and hip labrum pain- symptoms, treatments, and more.  And the second half delves into what happened when Amy basically hit rock bottom and spiraled into a place she needed help getting out of.  The way out was found not only externally (with PT and strength and progression), but also was found within, by taking a deep dive into her brain and the subject of neuroplastic pain in order to get out of chronic pain and also find a new path forward, mentally and physically.  Have a listen!
