@trisha85 You already have good input from sisters-in-pain, @mackaymouse and @shauna18 with similar challenges. Quite a bit of what you comment feels familiar to me, as well. I admire your ability to understand what is happening with you as well as your drive and commitment to live the best life you can today and every day. You’ve got this.
I realize I did not include the link to Mayo Clinic appointments. Here it is: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
Like you, I was not able to get the care I needed locally. Not making progress is what led me to Mayo Clinic. It sounds like you have a wonderful physiotherapist and chiropractor helping you. This makes me think of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Mayo Cinic in Rochester. They work with other departments as needed for individual patients. You may want to review more about them or even share the information with your Physio and Chiro. I guess, more heads are better than one!

You mention independence, productivity and guilt. At least that what stands out to me that I relate to. I have been trying to look at a positive side of not having resources to do all I want to do. It is an opportunity to regroup and decide what is most important. I realize I do not want to be the person that does it all. I want to be intentional and feel good about what I do decide to do.
I would like to stay connected with you and stay up to date on your progress. Will you come back and comment as you have thoughts/takes steps forward?
You stated your biggest challenge right now is minute and range of motion. Do you think they could be improved, do you want to pursue that? Have you considered adding someone to talk to, maybe a relationship, or life coach to help you figure out what the new you will look like?
