My cane is my friend now. Maybe a wheelchair later as my back is falling apart.
Bless you
I have had 2 major back surgeries, with artificial disks and rods put in my back. The last surgery I had was in 2018, and I have had more pain than I had before surgery. I have been in constant pain since 2018! I went back to the orthopedic Dr. who did the surgery, and another doctor in the same practice in 2019 and they said everything from the surgery looked good. I have seen 3 other Orthopedic doctors an 2 Rheumatologist, and all they ever say is that everything looks good. In the mean time my pain has gotten to the point that I have to use a walker in the house and anywhere else I go, and am in pain 24 hrs. a day! They send me to a pain management doctor for muscle relaxers and pain medication, so they have to know how much pain I am in! I don't want to have a disease, or not be able to do things I want to do, all I want is to know what is wrong with me!
Hi Q. I use an electric wheelchair a lot of the time - but I was misdiagnosed for 20 years & didn't have relevant treatment so that probably made things worse.
