Hi ZeeGee, this is awesome information. I will check out the SI Joint dysfunction for sure. I never heard of the morton neuromas, I am going to look that up too. When I went to the podiatrist he told me that he suspected that I have an entrapped nerve. The exercises that I have been given by the physiotherapist are for my core mainly and also exercises for my hip muscles. I do feel better in the morning after I do the core exercises which I am going to do now! I will try the pillow also- my husband uses a body pillow but I prefer a smaller one. It is late here so I am going to read this again tomorrow-I really appreciate the info! I also do heat in the morning to get me going! And the suggestions about happiness, the little things for me are the best, I like the idea about the candles!

I recently retired. I like to do things to take my mind off of the pain, which luckily I do not feel so much during the day. I started going back to work as my manager called me and asked if I could help out. I do 10 hours a week. She is going through alot also and she got evaluated for pelvic floor dysfunction, she woke up one day and could not get out of bed, and could not bend her knees either. I am going to share this information with her too, Thanks again and have a good night!

Lisa,

SI Joint dysfunction and pelvic floor dysfunction can be related. Doing PT.. pelvic floor exercises can be helpful with both.

I put off getting help while taking care of my mom. Taking care of her took a toll on my body. The physical pain that I have endured is worth the time I had to spend with her. She passed away August of last year. I have taken the time from when we had to put her in a nursing home January of last year until now trying to repair the damage to my body. I have more to do, but getting there. One day at a time.

My husband and I inherited my mom's dog.. a mini-poodle named Ziggy. He will be 11 in September. He is still healthy and spry. He is a great gift that uplifts the spirit. I shed a lot more hair than he does. 😁

I hope all goes well with you and your manager.

Sometimes I miss work (retail), gardening, and a few other things.. but mostly photography. Taking photos with a phone or tablet just is not the same as a real camera. Attaching a photo of Ziggy to bring you a smile. He needed a good brushing and a haircut.. the same now.
