I’ve had a dicky back for a few months, but foolishly believed it would just get better on its own. In fact, shortly after it came on, I’d booked a juice fast and hoped the liquids being poured down my neck might pool in my lower spine and sort it all out.
They didn’t. I drank my juices and ran up mountains pursuing thirst selfies for insta — while ignoring the pain in my hamstrings and glutes and an increasingly numb foot.
