In response to @labgirl
I have not had surgery on my back yet, but it’s pretty jacked up and
I have had to learn to live with the pain because I’m not going to let them pump full of steroids that don’t work anymore any way .
But I know how you are feeling my home is not carpeted so I have to sweep or use to anyway.
I can’t do much house work anymore making the bed, doing the dishes or trying to sweep just causes me so much pain pretty much everything I do hurts so bad .
And it’s so frustrating and depressing
but I to do a lot of sitting around because I just can’t do the things I use to I’m 62 years old , I also have spondylitis and have joined a group called My Spondylitis and I have learned there are a lot of options out there to help with the pain .
Acupuncture is one of them water therapy seem to help make it easer to regain moment and help with the pain I my self have not tried any of these yet, but you should check this support group out you may find some kind of relief and the members are very supportive just some information that might help you find some kind of relief.
I’m going to try the water therapy and see how that works for me.
I hope you can find something that help you because we should not have to learn to live with such debilitating
Pain with all the medical terminology we have now days. Sending prayers and hugs to you hang in there 🙏❤️
