@njed Very wisely stated; I think it helps so much to hear from folks like you, @fala , our mentors, and so many others on here that this road has been travelled and to help us just get to the short cuts. Without this cyber community, as you know, most of know of nobody in our personal world like us, and start in disbelief of unknown medical conditions, and start the process by think we have to do the jobs the doctors aren’t doing. While we do need doctors in the journey that we’re compatible with, this forum sure has helped cross the bridge to reality or “the new normal “ and help the forward vs backward thinking, and using energy for constructive improvement and teamwork vs destructive activities. I hit a few road blocks, but have moved forward so much with the help of you and others. Now off to PT for some core and leg strengthening and some myofascial release (thanks for that tip @artscaping )
