Injury and retirement
[edit | edit source]Tidd originally developed back pain during the 2004-2005 holiday break. She originally had thought that the back pain was just spasms.[2] Doctors did many tests and procedures and were unable to determine what was causing Tidd's pain. Rehabilitation therapy helped briefly and delayed Tidd's decision to retire from gymnastics. Tidd made the choice to accept a medical scholarship which would not allow her to return to an athletic scholarship and retired in 2006.[2]
