It stopped being about back pain.
Between 2022 and 2025, what started as “just sciatica” became something else entirely. The pain deepened. My left calf began to waste away. The fatigue in that leg took over. And symptoms started appearing that I didn’t understand and was too embarrassed to talk about.
My body was escalating its warning. And I was still out there, refereeing at the top of the world, telling myself it was normal.
It wasn’t.
This is my story, right from the start. Follow along, there’s so much more to come.
