@jenatsky thanks for the very helpful post. It was recommended to me to use the “spoon” theory to keep my pain under control which is proving challenging for me. How did you come to the 2 mile goal? Does it deplete all your reserves for the day or is that the maximum you can do and still function at a tolerable pain level? I am trying to adjust my attitude to one of acceptance of my limitations with chronic pain which is causing me to go through a grieving process but intellectually I know this is what I have to do. Thanks for your honest post and sharing any additional experiences you have!
