I am 76, retired, and in very debilitating pain. To the point where I find it difficult to walk any distance. Sitting is a battle of wills... mine against pain. Most of my day is now spent in front of the computer in the morning, sitting in recliner at lunch time, lying down on the bed the rest of the afternoon. Three years ago I was cycling 40-50 miles per week. Skiing, hiking, working around the house, thanks to my spinal cord stimulator and pain meds. Then, in 2021 after a short stint of skiing all the pain in lower back, buttocks, legs, feet, returned. I was managing ok until this past March when the original pain began to worsen, to the point where I am now. The point is, I can just accept my new life of being a semi-vegetable, or, I cancontinue to seel ansers. I choose to seek answers and possible treatment option. My new pain doctor will soon meet with me to discuss his potential treatment options. For every effect (pain), there is a cause. Just have to identify it. Ah, yes, that's the problem, isn't it?
