@loribmt Thank you for your quick response and link to prior conversation. I, too, was dismissed for surgery by orthopedic because of my age, 70. I appreciate the link to the trainer with whom your daughter works.
As regards my on-going Physical Therapy and pain relief, as long as I am diligent and continue PT 2-3 x/day, every day, the stretching and strengthening exercises help some with pain relief and mobility, especially mobility. I also take Norco, Robaxin and rely on bi-weekly chiropractic adjustments for relief from pain. Chiropractic has the added bonus of improving my overall well-being.
I am anxious to learn of others with my degree of severity or significant loss of height (I lost 7” in two years).
