I’m a Marine veteran so I learned to “suck it up” and just live with the pain. I spent 23 months in Vietnam and I was wounded three times (never figured out how to duck) so I’m familiar with pain. But I have a great support system - my wife and three daughters. The tingling in my feet and hands is annoying and sometimes painful but I just deal with it. I guess I have a high pain threshold. When I can no longer drive it will hit me big time. The loss of independence will hurt emotionally. I hope you learn to deal with the pain. Obviously, some days are worse than others.
