Dear Maum29,
I am devastated by your horrible gastrointestinal experience. As far as musculoskeletal problems are concerned, I too, am not able to walk a reasonable substantial distance. Upon waking, I’m unable to smooth out and walk to the bathroom hunched over. I recently purchased a back brace that helps somewhat, but really must rely on anti inflammatory drugs to ease the pain in my lower back. I am considering surgery, because I can’t go on with this constant debilitating pain any longer; it’s affecting me emotionally as well. I’m irritable and become nasty toward everyone. Before I go ahead with surgery, I intend to visit The Spine Institute first according to my cardiologist’s suggestion, but this will be my last effort to ease the pain before I elect for a surgical procedure.
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my pleas, and please let me know how you are faring over time. I wish you the best of luck.
