Welcome. I'm glad you're here. Quick note on what this space is, and isn't. This isn't a place to compare symptoms or confirm that what you're dealing with is unfixable. It's a place to do the work of changing it. Here's the short version of what HND means: a lot of what people get stuck with, tight muscles, pain that won't quit, sleep that won't settle, movement they're afraid to do, isn't permanent damage. It's a pattern your nervous system learned and is still running, even after the original cause is gone. I know that because I lived it after a car accident left me structurally stable and still in real pain for a year and a half. I retrained the pattern. It changed. Three things that will help you get the most out of this community: Post questions. This group only works if you use it. Look for people further along than you. Their posts are proof this works. If you're only here to be told nothing can change, this will feel uncomfortable. Stay anyway. Start by introducing yourself below: what are you working to get back to?
