Love your proactiveness! Doctors, therapist, etc. - we don’t have time to stick with losers. We’ll all get through this! The “village” of contributors helps our mental and physical well being too. My daughter’s boyfriend is a physician, and kind of jokes with me when I talk about pain. (He has a great bedside manner). He’ll look at me and say (in a “yoga” type voice), “What is Pain?” I’ll kind of laugh, but you know, I kind of think, yes, what is pain….i can get through this. Btw - 10 minute morning warm up with Dr Samantha Smith on you tube helps me become a little less stiff. I even have my 78 year old husband (I’m 75) doing it with me. Helps his arthritis. Good luck!
