I’m so sorry! Prayers for you! Praying you will find relief and reprieve from pain. How well I relate! Your situation sounds more complex and painful than mine.

I so understand the “feeling 80”!!!

A couple things I’ve learned through my back pain that I’m very grateful for….it’s helped grow me in empathy for others and helped grow me in looking around and realizing there’s never a situation worse than mine very far away.

Praying a good week for you!!

I hurt my back 18 yrs ago. I have 5 herniated discs, sciatica,degenerated disc disease, scoliosis and arthritis. I also have neuropathy from being type 2 diabetes and chemo. I’m cancer free. Chemo caused my feet to go completely numb and its irreversible. Pain is so very debilitating. I’m allergic to narcotics which is both good & bad. I’m going to be trying CBD for pain. It has no side effects and helps the pain. For my neuropathy I take gabapentin and Vitamins B6 & B12. It relieves a lot of the pain. I tell so many people this. It sees the older I get the more pain I’m in. I’m glad I feel young at heart. I’m just praying my body starts feeling younger instead of feeling 80. Lol! I’m 52 and I refuse to let my disability define who I am. Thank you for this post ☺
