I cannot imagine the pain you face each day. I have a friend who deals with this, she does try to have a life anyway. She comes to the barn a few times per month even though she has given up her own horses. She spends time with mine.
My heart breaks every time I hear about this, and I think about how they always say, “we fixed this problem” but truly there is always a risk with implants, even if the risks have changed. If women truly understood the risks, I think a lot less of them would opt in.
Is there anything that makes this problem a little better in your day to day? Have any interventions been tried, other than surgical?

There is something called prolozone or Prolotherapy. Instead of the harmful junk in most of those injections to relieve pain, this is liquid oxygen that actually helps regenerate. Of course there's no money in a cure so most insurance companies don't cover things that are good for you. I did find a doctor that does this treatment and my insurance does cover it. Fingers crossed.
