I had rods in my lower spine about 4 years ago & wish I had never had it done as the pain is worse than ever, even after lots of physical therapy, medication & shots in the area since surgery. I guess I’ll just have to learn to live with the pain the rest of my life.

Good afternoon @grameed. Unfortunately....as we age, we have to learn to tolerate more discomfort. I am now in love with distractions. Music, walking, exploring, listening, feeding and training my chipmunks, learning bird sounds, having Zoom bed parties with my grandchildren, helping someone else.'
Almost anything except planning meals, shopping for meals and cooking meals helps. I am done in the kitchen. It makes the pain worse and I complain more. So, my loving life partner would rather do it himself than listen to me moan and groan.
What distractions work for you?
May you have happiness and the causes of happiness?
