I have the exact same excruciating back problem as Luigi Mangione... and it devastated my sex life. This is the agonizing truth no one knows

After Luigi Mangione was apprehended last week and charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, America was astonished to learn that the 26-year-old was the privileged son of wealthy parents with the world seemingly at his feet. Here, Amiee Thomason, a 28-year-old single mother living in Oklahoma City, reveals her own devastating experience living with the same excruciating condition… I was shocked when I saw the X-ray of Luigi Mangione's back that went viral on social media. There's been a lot of speculation about motive and what might have driven Mangione – if he indeed turns out to be guilty – to kill a man in cold blood. By 2022, aged 26, I had almost stopped work entirely and I'd ceased being able to do all the things other young, single mothers could: I couldn't take my daughter to the playground or watch her at her dance recitals because standing and sitting still were both now agonizing. I've seen some suggestion online that Mangione had undergone surgery like mine for his condition, but that something had gone wrong during the procedure, leaving him in an even worse state.
