OT - Remarkably, my back has stopped hurting

I got a 20 minute massage at work.  We have the BEST massage therapist come here.  She worked on stretches with me two weeks ago to help open up my lower back.  I've been doing the stretches at home for the last two weeks, with a little relief in back pain.  I went to her again today, and she did some stuff to my back that hurt pretty bad, but I could tell while she was doing it that it was helping.  It was almost like getting a chiropractic adjustment b/c as she worked the muscles, the joints in my back started cracking.

Anyway, for the first time in a month or so, my back is pain free.  I'm not sure if it will last, but dang it feels good to feel normal back there again!!!

My back feels amazingly better and I am only 3 weeks post op and 31 lbs down! .. what a difference

Yup, the increase weight can surely add extra pressure on the back.
