@seattle579 Hello there, welcome. Thanks for joining the conversation about chronic pain. You my friend, are not alone. 10 years is a long time of having chronic back pain. It sounds like you may be coming to acceptance, which is such an important factor in moving forward to find your best quality of life. Finding a plan and path forward as to how you are going to find the best quality of life, given your circumstances, is another big step.

Do you mind sharing a little about your daily routine and what self-help tools you presently use?

I am 84. I do some exercises prescribed by my PT, and usually walk for about 20 minutes each day. Figure I better keep moving for as long as I can. What bothers me most is oftentimes I cannot sit without some degree of pain on my right side in the hip and bottom area. Cushions help some, but not much.
