I have Spinal Stenosis which is when the discs are degenerated. Sometimes, I am not able to walk a distance without having to rest for a few minutes. It seems that I will need a walker with a seat on it for future vacations. Also, I can't walk up the steps on an airplane. Since I haven't had to since I started to travel by air, I didn't know that I would be facing that challenge. In the future, if my health is the same, I will need to have more information on the airplane. If there is steps, I will need to request a ramp at my initial check in desk.

It's spinal don't know what I feel like tomorrow. SOOO upsetting.<br>Very little help from the medical profession.<br>Gabepentin is what I use to ease...I mean ease the different leg pains I experience.<br>More research needs to be done with this horrible disorder.<br>Take each day with joy and go on.<br><br>
Yes, my pain doctor just said there wasn't anything he could do to help me any further. Even though, it feels futile, I need to accept each day with joy; because I have seen others in worse condition, and they aren't complaining!
