Description: I'm happy you're here!
I'm happy you're here!
I was not always a herniated disc. When we were born, I started as a wholesomely plump, perfectly placed, healthy disc. I showed up well in scans and gave nearby nerves a respectful berth. So how did we get here: 3 months of our year disrupted and bedridden?
When we turned 18, Amit started a company, went on trips, started working out. These things hurt— curled in airplanes, bent over devices, hunched at desks— but I was always there to curl, bend, and hunch harder.
