After about two years, I finally got to the point where I could walk 'normally' and not have chronic pain when I sat down."[12] In 2011, Adams was hit by a distracted driver on the highway and she suffered from chronic pain for five years after the accident.[12] Adams credits physical therapy for her recovery.[13]
