Sudden aging

I know what you mean. I wish you the best with physical therapy.

I have found that water aerobics is very useful in keeping joints and muscles moving. At 77 I certainly can’t do aerobic exercise but in the pool the water helps support you and you don’t have to worry about falling!

Dear Snowmass: I am so sorry to hear about your distress. If this is a sudden onset, there has to be something you are doing or taking that may be the culprit. But, I know you are diligently enlisting your drs to find the cause/s.
One thing I would strongly consider is seeing a holistic nutritionist. Your diet may play a part in all of this. There may be certain foods that are responsible for aggravating or causing some of your health problems. It certainly is worth a try. Good luck to you.

Thank you for your warm thoughts and well wishes. I hope the same for you too.

Just saw the PBS documentary on menopause called The M Factor: Shredding the myths about menopause
It relates beautifully to all issues of women's health.

my bone dr did mention that how your mind is thinking has an effect on us so the mindfulness makes sense. god help us all find a way to stay mobile

I also do water aerobics at age 76 for the same reasons.

Oops......should be shredding the silence on menopause

Would love to get feedback on this documentary from others

So sorry at such at young 53 you have pain issues.

I older than you and also had body nerve pain to the point I could not put one foot in front of the other and was shuffling my feet just to move. Had several falls.

Had nerve test, MRI' with and without contrast, on yucking meds. Numerous of diagnosis but nothing specifically identified:

(1). Why my whole body was hurting,
(2). Why my spine from the neck down was stiff and painful,
(3). Why was there constant numbness in both my hands and feet,
(4). Why was I having constant foot turning muscle spasms, and a drop foot
(5). Why was I experiencing constant chronic sciatica pain immobilizing my mobility.

The only definite answer I got from specialist visits were you owe this copay. 🙄

One day after visiting my spine doctor who suggested a procedure that after researching it did not set well with my soul I fell down in the bed and I cried out to God to please help me. My Beautiful husband cried out for me too.

I was tired of lying down eating pills as a treatment.

Sure enough, I heard a small voice. It was God. He said fast. So, I took him at his word and did a 4 day dry fast and all the inflammation in my joints reduced and I was able to get up out the bed and walk around. I lost 17 pounds. Then I transitioned to a water fast for 5 days and afterwards feeling sp much better.

😇 Please note that I am "NOT" pushing my faith on anyone, Okay.😇

I am merely speaking to my own healing experience. What God show me was that my whole body inflammation was killing me.

He then gave me direction to start paying attention to how foods made me feel and identify and journal the foods causing inflammation.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE God's direction made in my life.

My Beautiful Husband and I are enjoying life more because I included him in God's plan and he now knows what foods affect him also.

🤨 Although his sweet tooth gets him in trouble with me at times. 😂

No more taking pain meds and anti inflammatory meds numerous times a day or sleeping aids to sleep due to pain.

No more going back and forth to doctor visits other than check ups and hearing the primary doctor say whatever you are doing keep it up.

Just a change in diet has made a difference in our life as God has made a difference in our hearts.

Sure, we are aging and Arthur let us know joints are wearing out. But we will continue to eat to live and not live to eat putting clean delicious none inflammation causing food in our body. I am grateful for God's wisdom he has shared with others we read about their experiences with inflammation.

I hope sharing a tiny piece of my long winded experience with pain 😂 can encourage and benefit someone.

🕊️ We bid you eat, drink, and be merry peace.🕊️
