When you say success, the mechanical source of pain was gone. Then you went to work on your core muscle support? Was it difficult to decide to go forward with the operation?
I'd be afraid of an operation based on my c-section (my only operation. I was awake during it which was very freaky.), but something feels so wrong when I move. It's been over seven
years.
I guess you were in bad shape to have an operation. Sorry, sigi.
Glad pilates does it's magic.
I think I asked you this, but do you need to go to the pilates studio to work out or practice? I'd like to learn then exercise at home mostly with occasional or at most weekly visits.
