@joybo99 Medicare is available to a disabled person before age 65 if they are deemed disabled by a disability judge. You are of Medicare age and a palliative care specialists might be available to you. I’m 72 and have had a bad back since 1988 after falling down stairs from an earthquake while living in California. Had surgery in 1990 and on SSD until 1996 and back to work. I now have terrible spinal OA with some minor joint involvement. But I’m a walker and exercise nut following my PT exercise program. I refuse to give in this soon. There is hope and I hope you can see some light?

Thank you for your kind response. I have been on social security disability since age 55 (Multiple Sclerosis, fibro, more.)
I will be discussing P. Care option with my neurologist in July.
A number of symptoms prevent me from pursuing my own love of walking & exercise.
I wish you well with your own therapy and again, Thank you for responding.
