It's been exactly 40 days since I started seeing Seongmo Tower Orthopedic Surgery for my back. A slightly herniated disc has healed significantly after 5-6 injections, but the chronic gluteus medius pain persists, so I started shockwave therapy in the meantime. Now I've stopped the injections and am doing extracorporeal shockwave therapy and physical therapy. Director Kim Dong-hyun sent me some exercise routines and told me to do them, but I haven't done them at all, and my recovery seems to be slowing down even more. I was planning to start going to the range again in March and playing golf in April, but I've been lazy and haven't been exercising, so I'll be delayed by another month. ㅜㅜ I also heard from the director today that after age 50, if you stay sedentary, your muscle mass decreases by 50% per year. Treatment is important, but I think the patient's effort and determination are equally important for all diseases. Starting tomorrow, I'll diligently practice the exercises you taught me.
