Back pains
As my loyal readership might know, I have been experiencing some pretty serious issues with my back over the past years, requiring surgical attention at two different occasions. A story of being tall and a bit overweight, and not enough physical exercise to go with that, plus breaking a leg when I was 6 years old, resulting in one of my legs being a tiny bit shorter than the other. I received surgery mid December of 2002, and have been recovering slowly since then. If you're stuck in the same unpleasant situation, and want to get on with your life, and have a decent state-funded medical insurance, you might look out for the possibility of receiving Documentation Based Care. There's centres all over the civilized world - luckily enough also one in Ghent where I live. It's just a matter of regular exercising using some specialized fitness equipment - I've been doing this intensively during 2003, and am now on a post-treatment schedule of weekly visits for the coming year. Highly recommended if you have such a center within your reach.
