@brendakaye Welcome to the group. My primary problem is Diabetes, but I was diagnosed only three years ago. I am 75 years old and was very healthy until that diagnosis. I do not take any meds for the diabetes---diet and exercise. Of late I have had a hard time with the soles of my feet. I feel as if I'm walking on shards of glass. It's very uncomfortable trying to do anything. Some days are worse than others. I diagnosed myself with neuropathy. I would not take any meds for that. Meds have too many side effects that cause other problems for me. I also have arthritis in my hands. They are always sore and swollen. I will ask about my feet and hands when I go to my endo appointment in several weeks. I understand how hard it is to go 24/7 with this kind of pain as do others on this forum. I have read the posts and most people have found little that really helps. I don't know what the answer is, but maybe my endo can shed some light. Do you notice the joints in your hands are swollen? If you warm your hands does that lessen the pain? Have you seen your doctor for your hands?

I wish I could tell you things will improve, and they might, but your doctor needs to know what's going on.
