Fitness

Ever since I started trying to get more healthy in my habits and lifestyle, every person I know has been giving me all sorts of advice. Some of it makes perfect sense, some of it is just background noise to me and some of it is just completely crazy. For example this girl I work with talks about getting some sort detox colon cleanse and having it get rid of all of the bad things in your system. It seems like you would really end up wasting a day of your life doing that to me. From what I can gather you would spend a day or so not eating much of anything, because you have to flush it all out. So the only thing that you take into your body is the stuff that you use to cleanse out your system. So you have nothing else going in, but in theory you are going to have a whole lot of things to go out. I am not going to do anything of that sort.

I am sort of wondering if I really might have this stuff or if it is something else. I have been diagnosed with it, but I am not sure that I believe the first doctor that I talked to so much. I am thinking that I might need to get a second opinion. The first doctor says that I have something called Facet syndrome. By definition that is a syndrome in which the zygapophysial joints cause back pain. This syndrome can progress to spinal osteoarthritis, which is known as spondylosis. I am not really sure what all of that means, but it certainly scares me a good bit and I am not going to act like it does not. There are a lot of things that a rational person should be afraid of and this is one of the big ones. Most times I would not be that frightened of a surgeon, but this is not the same as most things. When a doctor goes to cutting on your spine there are a whole lot of bad results which could happen to you.
