Janice was relieved when she learned that her back pain was something that could be fixed with surgery. She wasn't the type to run to surgery as a solution, but when the pain in her back was keeping her from her daily training walk in the neighborhood with her girl friends for the Turkey Trot come November, she knew she had to do something. Her girl friends supported her through the surgery, and her best friend Deborah was there for her from her pre-op appointment to her post-op visit. “After surgery my back had changed from a sharp pain, to a dull ache and I thought I was in the clear.” Janice reveals. “However as soon as the heavy duty pain meds wore off, I started to feel sharp shooting pains in my feet! I couldn't wear my walking shoes because my feet felt excruciating.”
