It was embarrassing to share, but then I realized theres nothing to be embarrassed about.
The pain is so chronic, Spencer admitted later when talking about her attempts to fight through it.
I just want to say to anybody out there who suffers with chronic pain: I feel you.
It takes over your life.
It affects you emotionally, mentally, physically.
You cannot sleep.
Its hard to think about.
Its gnawing at you all the time.
And what I wish I would have done is just taken care of this sooner.
Rehabilitation for such a surgery takes approximately 3-6 months.
