Yes, I do, I think I have very poor muscular skeletal issues.
I have burnt 🥵 my body out by physically overdoing , my work, and play, everything has been too physically demanding.

So I have had so many multiple surgeries, because I not only have osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and aching all the time, but no Rheumatoid arthritis.
I wish I felt better at 65, I am recovering from revision back surgery, that is another big heal.
I do thing genetics 🧬 have to play some part?

Hello @calygirl84, it's nice to meet you. I'm sorry to learn of your chronic pain and symptoms from various health conditions. I'm wondering if you have ever considered Mayo Clinic's Pain Rehabilitation Center? Given your diagnoses and the fact that you want to feel better at age 65, perhaps the PRC would be a good fit.

Here is more about the program:

I graduated the Mayo PRC and can attest that it is an amazing life changing opportunity that works with patients on 4 categories - physical, emotional, behavioral and chemical. These 4 areas, fuel the fire of chronic pain. Ultimately the goal is to learn how to cut the fuel lines off.

What do you think? Might it be a program worth looking into?
