These “disabilities” that have developed for you and me and so many others really give me the perspective of those who live with serious disabilities, humbling. Sorry that you sustained permanent nerve damage. That is the one thing that really has made me think about surgery too. A good friend warned me about ignoring it, as he did and he has to use a cane and has foot drop due to the nerve damage. I guess this is a discussion for a different site. But it does center on “inflammation” to some extent. I’m trying to lower my inflammatory foods etc that can exacerabate it true inflammation. Are you able to do water therapy, ie spa/hot tub? It is a real game changer for me, plus my son introduced us to a post workout tool called a theragun. It is basically a percussive massager that really makes you feel soooo much better, increases blood flow, and likely lymphatic flow. He’s a competitive runner and use it post work out. It’s really a great addition. Maybe it could be of help. Not inexpensive but really worth it. Hope you can get out there in whatever capacity. Trekking sticks are a wonderful way to support yourself too.
