Description

Leah tells us how one back surgery changed her entire life. What should’ve been a simple procedure ended up causing CRPS, a nerve condition so brutal that many people lose hope the moment they hear the diagnosis. For Leah, it started in her foot and turned into nonstop pain — something she describes as feeling like she was “walking to her death daily.”



Her sober father started growing her marijuana just to help ease the pain. We talk about ketamine treatments, what it’s really like living with chronic pain, and how she went to grief therapy to mourn the life she thought she’d have.



Now, she’s figuring out how to push through — working again, finding moments of peace, and proving that even when life hits you with the unthinkable, you can still fight your way back.
