2 years ago I swam 90 laps every morning before school Then #NutcrackerSyndrome took me from the pool to barely walking Feb 12, 2025 → kidney autotransplant. Today I hit 20 laps… The comeback has begun 💪 #Mindset #TeenAthlete #tcdsb #sickkids

I spent 2 years battling Nutcracker Syndrome & had an 11-hour kidney surgery The worst part wasn’t the pain, it was feeling alone That’s why I started The Shared Pain Project: to connect, inspire & make sure no one fights alone #SharedPainProject #ChronicIllness #TCDSB

I had a kidney autotransplant for Nutcracker Syndrome earlier this year. Seeing research like this reminds me how under-discussed this condition still is. Anyone else navigating NCS or pelvic congestion? Would love to connect. #NutcrackerSyndrome #PelvicCongestion #IRad
