Mobility Madness
The first time I heard degenrative disc disease I had no clue what it would entail. Medically it is a weakness in the cushion between the vertibrae of your spine,that causes them to slip to one side and become trapped,making them bulge,this then causes the signals to your brain to become intensensified and for your mobility to become limited due to pain. Personally though it was a complete change, I worked as a chef and did sixty plus hour weeks,trained to be a restaurant manager too and loved what I did, in the space of 48 hours that all changed,a twist in an awkward position unloading stock and the next thing I knew I was in hospital unable to move my legs without feeling excruciating pain.
